Yesterday was Halloween.\u00a0 We went to the kitchen on the third floor where the Americans were gathering.\u00a0 There were also a few Austrians.\u00a0 People had dressed up.\u00a0 Many were zombies, there were a few devils.\u00a0 I wrapped one of Will’s black t-shirts around my head to make myself into a ninja.\u00a0 Will made me some paper throwing stars, but people still teased me about being dressed as a Muslim woman.\u00a0 Will was an Xbox; he took the faceplate off of one and hung it around his neck and he brought a game and tied a controller to his belt loop.<\/p>\n
Then we all went out together.\u00a0 I changed and Will took off his accessories before we left.\u00a0 We ended up at a club that looked way too crowded and had a cover charge.\u00a0 Some people went in, but five of us had no interest, so we went to some place less crowded and noisy.\u00a0 There were quite a lot of people dressed up.\u00a0 Mostly zombies, devils, and witches.\u00a0 We also saw a bunch of\u00a0 Jokers from Batman.<\/p>\n
I was surprised by all of the activity, since I asked some of my students about it and they all said they weren’t going to do anything for Halloween.\u00a0 One advantage they have for celebrating here is that All Saints Day on November first is a holiday.\u00a0 That means no work for many and no classes for students.<\/p>\n
On a related note, all of the Simpsons episodes aired lately have been Halloween specials, which is awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
