So, Halloween in Korea. Well, the truth is, they don't celebrate Halloween in Korea. They know about it, but they don't really know about it at all. All they know is that it is a holiday where people dress up. But the student council at my school decided that they were going to throw a Halloween party this year (in honor of Alyssa and I, but also just for the students)
Well, they did their research well, because it was an awesome Halloween Party, and very American. Except for the Karaoke contest and Arm Wrestling contest. And most of them dressed up, and some of them went all out. It was so much fun ^^ There were different activities in the different rooms, and you could go on this "scary" walk around the school in the dark, and people jumped out at you. Similar to stuff people do in America. There was also face painting and all that stuff. I'll upload pictures to facebook! And they really went all out in their decorations. It was awesome :) Alyssa and I contributed candy that we bought at Costco.
This week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and part of today (Thursday), I didn't go to class xD Instead, I joined the art teacher and a small crew of students (the ones who don't want to go to class, there are about 6 or 7 of us), and built the stairs all day for those days. We started working on the stair a long time ago, but we didn't crack down on it until this week. So instead of going to class I have been laboring and playing with cement. But it's really wonderful, because I get to spend the time chatting in Korean. And while in class I am "the foreigner", when I am laboring I am just another set of hands. And I'm pretty good at it too xD Now if only I could be as good at knitting as I am at building stairs....
One of the girls got our school involved in this project where we knit hats for babies in Africa, so this week half the kids have been knitting 24/7 xD I'm bad at it T.T
