Carnival is celebrated in different forms around the world.
In Brazil a 5 day festival takes place with processions and dancing.
In the French speaking world Mardi Gras is celebrated with parties, concerts, and parades.
In Germany and Austria Fasching, or Karneval, takes the form of processions and drinking lots of alcohol. Traditionally, alcohol was banned during Lent, so Germans would drink as much as possible during Fasching.
And in the UK we make pancakes...
Yeah, pancakes.
With lemon and sugar.
Do we know how to party or what?
