German Carnival is getting closer and closer. In Bonn the peak will be reached on February 16 – 22. So… yesterday I was searching online for a decent carnival costume and I realized that is pretty hard to find one, unless you want to go for a witch or a countess. And sometimes even those ones are not appropriate to wear.

So, I made some extra searches that I would like to share them.

I did zero research before going to Milan and that cost me a lot of extra euros.

First evening I was lucky to end up in a pizzeria with huge pizza at very good prices. However in the next 3 days I was mostly frustrated because of the bad food and high prices.

Most of the places I have tried were located near the city center.

You have to pay a tax for the chair you use in the restaurant or coffee. This was hilarious. In some other place 3 extra euros were added to the bill because the lady that served the food walked 10 steps to bring it to our table.

Supermarket prices were also weird and high. I was amazed with every store and I felt cheap as hell.

I really have no problem with paying good money for good food, but I had the bad luck of the student that didn’t do his homework and ended up with crappy food on my plate most of the times.

I find most of the prices ridiculous, but yet maybe it’s just me being cheap.
