Unrecognizable. I think that goes a long way toward explaining the excitement, especially when you're young. I feel sort of the same way when I go to the Notting Hill Carnival: these are streets that I walk all the time, yet they're completely transformed once a year to become a separate, entirely different place that only exists once a year. You could almost get lost in your own neighbourhood. A very nice piece of writing by the way. It’s like waking up in a completely different world isn’t it, after the snow. Unrecognizable.
