Halloween In Korea

I know that this posting is very late...but as most of you know...i hate sitting in front of a computer unless i'm chatting with long lost friends and family back home. Well here it is. Halloween in Korea proved to be quite entertaining considering the fact that Koreans don't celebrate this goulish holiday. They do however get quite a kick out of seeing a hourd of drunken waygooks roaming the streets dressed in the most rediculous attire and yes I mean you Matt, Carol, Vanessa, Mary and Crystal. I of course had a completely respectable and educational costume. Our evening consisted of a trip to the near by Yeosu about 40 min from my new digs. We shacked up in a love motel almost across the street from the bar where our shindig would take place. One of the veteran english teachers once again organized this get together for the fifth consecutive year, complete with door prizes and a best costume bottle of whiskey. Some of the costumes were bloody hilarious, there was everything from a laundry basket, holy shit, a milk carton, mermaids, a wind up doll and an umplumpa. Check out the pictures. There is nothing funnier than watching a giant milk carton waddle across the street with a group of confused and bewildered korean onlookers...i'm still giggling about that image.

The night was a riot and didn't end when we left the bar, it continued into the next morning at a near by noraebong..(Karaoke room). These joints are so much fun. You rent your own private karaoke room for an hour or two, some have comfortable couches and you can drink and sing your heart out. If you hit up the right place you might even get a plate of dried squid bits and chips...yummy. After a long night of fun and trashed costumes we all stumbled back to our love motel to crash. Good times.
