Who says they don't celebrate Halloween in Korea?
Kaitlin and I spent Friday night making our costumes and preparing for Saturday's Halloween festivities. We cut, glued, and painted all night until we had the perfect Rocky and Bullwinkle. Saturday we set out on our adventure and started on the subway. I am not kidding when I say every single person was staring at us. Every head was turned our way and camera phones started popping out. We then made our way to a few parties where some people didn't know who Rocky and Bullwinkle were. What on earth?! Then we ended our night in Itaewon, a popular foreign area, where we danced the night away with everyone dressed in costume. It was nice to have a Halloween and feel somewhat at home.
Halloween is over and the next Holiday here is the Christmas season. Decorations HAVE started going up today!
School update: Everything has take a total spin in the right direction lately. My schedule has become a lot less stressful these past 2 weeks. I had quite a few lower level classes which was becoming way to overwhelming. I know I should embrace the hard challenge but it is better for me and them that I don't teach them so often. They can't understand me, nor do they try too; I don't blame them. If I was 10 years old and someone was babbling to me in a different language I would be a little brat too. I now only teach the lower level classes once a week and I have been a lot happier with this new change.
