I am in hungary trying to figure out why people come to mow how much every year dressed as these things. These mosques are the most important feature of a blue show to have made and it takes about 14 hours to craft just one each is completely unique and tourists pay several hundreds of euros to take them home as souvenirs. So gullible you make these fantastic masks can you tell us a bit about the story behind these masks and why people will ever be allowed to see a show only yag a show meant to scare winter away making way for spring yet again. Its an old tradition which has been part of the local culture for ages and me. In order to fully understand this custom im turning into a blue show taking part in sundays big parade i was 1700 bushels congregates here in march accompanied by young women in traditional outfits organized into 66 groups mine is called a vessel of the mary rose. Ive always wanted a moustache like this you know dreams do really come true. The rest of the traditional outfit consists of colorful knitted me songs. These leather shoes with leather straps. And a gigantic pair of trousers as the most important thing is your mask so that no one can tell you why. Center for the street as high as in the so i cant take it off no youre not allowed to once you take it off you no longer a show that is the magic disobey is exactly.

We all still expected to be the stars of the show pushing out of the show has become a massive tourist attraction in the last 20 years the number of bushes taking part has grown tenfold ill give the scaring thing another go. But being a scary bush seems to require some practice and experience. Once the sun sets everyone gathers around the shoot bonfire at the main square some bushes use the chance for a hellish dance but im tired after a long day. This is the end for me as a blues show its been a long and tiring day i think this tradition has so many different meanings or so many different ways to target the dream. Im going to real pleasure to experience what its like to live behind the law.
