Halloween in China





Halloween at our school is a big event. This could be because to create a great costum is cheap in Canadian dollars. Lots of teachers go as a group and go all out. Me being a new teacher and not knowing this, left my costum too late, but I still wound up with a great costum.

I was the corpse bride, from the movie.


At the school the students get all into it, They get to dress up after lunch. I would be all into that if i had to wear a uniform everyday all day. There was a school dance, performances, (they love their singing here) and a haunted house and scary movies being played.


That weekend was the teachers weekend. We went to a bar, a band played that a few teachers husbands and boyfriends are in. Cheap drinks, this lead to a crazy costumed night. I attempted to make it to the night club, never quite made it.
