As quickly as October came and left, I didn't have time to tell you about the Halloween party on this side of the world. China doesn't celebrate Halloween so a couple of us foreigners decided to throw a Halloween bash and bring a little American culture to our friends here. We put on our best costumes and brought the candy. A big thing here is KTV. It is something like karaoke in the States only take it to the next level. We rented a large room which had a ton of couches, a projector and screen to show the music video and words from the songs we sang, and we ordered some snacks to add to the plentiful candy supply. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. Even though our friends here didn't go quite as all out on costumes as we did, they enjoyed the experience. My big ears were a hit!
John Wayne, Peter, and I sang "Superman" by Five for Fighting. Later, Peter and I joined in on the classic, "Larger than Life" by the one and only Backstreet Boys. We danced, we sang, we ate, we took pictures, and successfully introduced our friends to Holloween, American style with some Chinese flair. I don't think I will ever celebrate Holloween quite like this ever again.
