Halloween in China

Halloween isn’t really celebrated in China but since it is a little westernized here there were some Halloween decorations up and things for sale. And of course we celebrated it at school.
The students all looked so adorable dressed up. There were a lot of witches and princesses and most students just had on a witch hat and a cape. Their costumes didn’t seem to be as elaborate or different like the costumes people have back home but I think they view Halloween a bit differently here. There aren’t big boxes of candy or chips here that you can buy either. (Which was probably a good thing haha)

We had an assembly and different classrooms put in little songs or poems or dances. My class did the 5 little pumpkins. It was very cute! Kim’s classroom did the Thriller dance and they did an awesome job! Then we had a little party and some of the kids brought treats for the rest of the class.

On Saturday night to celebrate Halloween the residents had a floor crawl. Three of the floors in our building had a theme. One floor was a CSI theme and that group all dressed up like that and decorated the common room for that theme. The next floor has an Alice and Wonderland theme and the costumes were great. The last floor was a casino style from back in the day. Kim and I didn’t end up joining a floor so we decided to come up with our own theme “Jersey Shore”. She went as Snookie and I went as J-wow. For those of you who don’t know, the Jersey shore is a TV show. The people on it are very tanned and they poof their hair up hhaha

Kim did my hair all straight and made a nice poof in it for me. I wasn’t sure how we were going to make our faces so tanned but I put on some make up that I had and we looked pretty awesome haha

Check out how long my hair is getting too!
