When Konig promised to take you to a traditional austrian event before christmas you imagined a christmas market or something. Nothing could have prepared you for the chaos of Krampuslauf.

Krampuslauf is a parade where actors dress as anthropomorphic demons who chase people and try to hit onlookers with bundles of sticks. And they hit hard.

So, here you are, running from people dressed as creatures from austrian folklore trying to hit you and Konig with bundles of sticks.

Konig tugs you along by your hand, looking back with humor in his eyes when you laugh at the absurdity of the moment.
