Brunch On The Farmland (Swiss Confederation Day)

We had fantastic 1st August; we had a lot of fun. In the morning, we had brunch/breakfast on the Farmland, which is typical tradition of Swiss during Federation Day. We had great food, different kind of cheese, yogurts, eggs, Rösti (fried grated potatoes) a Swiss potato dish, coffees, teas and many more fine food and typical Swiss music, which was live band. My mom was enjoyed so much, it was her first brunch her in Switzerland and my 1st brunch too (nyay) supposed to be that yesterday we were going to do picnic (that I posted earlier entry) due of not nice weather therefore we decided to have brunch on the farmland. While we enjoying our food we surprised there are journalist was there and took to us pictures, check out the link, just click it here we were in the news…nyay! (Sikat ang mga beauty ng pinays)

Fasnacht-Lenten Carnival In Bern, Switzerland

Last Saturday we were in Bern with Filipina friend and her husband. We watched the Fasnacht Parade (carnival in Alemannic folklore) We Enjoyed looking the people wearing masks and their colorful costumed and some are looks like funny. The best for me which is the bear man. His costume really look real bear(called Carnival Bear,photo above) which I really like. I’m just taking photos and doing videos from my digi camera, to bad I didn’t bring our video camera that’s why I used only in my digi camera to do video. Our adorable baby was really pretty good he just lying in the stroller and in deep sleep. He love it when he is in stroller. He never cry at all. Even on that fasnacht was so loud music from drums and flute.
After in 3 hours standing on the street watching the Fasnacht Parade I felt I was freezing! It was freaking cold! (lol) my feet was really freezing(eww that was so cold) it was good after the parade we went direct to the restaurant had cafes and teas and a little bit snack. what a hassle? Hopefully I will not get sick. I don’t know, we just enjoy looking their customes even past few years was snowy, my husband and I went during on that time, and last Saturday was pretty good weather but I was freezing. (lol)

This is the funny one I took.
Fasnacht mean Lenten carnival in Alemannic word mean folklore. This Fasnacht celebrated yearly started Thursday before the Ash Wednesday until the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a tradition since 1982. This Carnival in switzerland unlike carnival in Rio, which is held at the peak of summer, the Swiss have to dress up a lot more warmly. During this Carnival Season people are enjoy life to the full. Swiss city come alive with the sound of drumming, flute-playing and marching by masked and costumed figures. Like this tradition, many of the costumes worn at the carnival reflect current affairs and events.
