The Friday before Halloween, all of us teachers arrived to school early to help transform the Academy. They had plenty of decorations from years past and balloons galore. All the teachers dressed up...there was a killer chef, a pumpkin, a banana, rudolph, a cowboy, a cat, and kim bap (Korea's favorite small meal/snack). The costume supply is limited in Korea, especially in Iksan, so it was hilarious seeing the conglomeration of costume pieces....a witch's hat with a wizard cape carrying a devil's pitchfork. As for the adults, it was fun seeing people get creative instead of just buying the packaged costumes back home. We gave out a prize for the best costumes and played games such as Mummy Wrap, Monster Mix-up, What's in the Box, and Bobbing for Candy. It was a lot of fun seeing all the kids get so into Halloween!
On Saturday, we celebrated in Iksan by going to a house party, Sushi Tae for dinner, and Red Rock. Moe decorated Red Rock and even dressed up himself. A lot of foreigners even got their co-teachers to dress up and come out to celebrate. Despite Korea not celebrating Halloween like we do, it was a great Halloween weekend!
