Watch out - you might be kissed today...

I just have to share this: I just saw an article in the newspaper that Lufthansa started to make special announcement at the airport in Bonn/Cologne because of the carnival season (Cologne is the "capitol of carnival" in Germany).

One of the announcements is: "Watch out - you might be kissed today" or another one says "Watch out for your ties - they might be cut off" (also check out my post on this on my daily photo blog). Since masked and costumed people do all kinds of funny/crazy things during carnival time, I guess they want to warn foreign visitors ahead of time so they don't get scared :-D.

I really like the idea...for Lufthansa to introduce-warn in a fun way the local culture...to foreigners who are flying there :-) I'd like to see if there are still some passengers who would get really mad if they get tagged :-D

I'm afraid, people will still think we're crazy if they hear the announcements :-).

But there have also been stories already where a group of chinese business men came to Germany and ran into a group of masked women who wanted to cut their ties off. Of course they were scared to death and though Germany had gone completely mad...
