Carnival in Mainz is a very big holiday. People from those in baby cars to the oldest locals are actively participating in parade and the rest of carnival activities. They all dress up, paint faces and go to the main street to catch the candy from moving platforms.

If you're looking for fruits and vegetables you can buy them in the supermarket, and believe me they won't be different from those at the Market. Tomatoes hardly have a smell and cucumbers are perfectly shaped as they just jumped out from the cucumber factory. I go to the market on Saturday...
