Devil's Night 2009 was one of the longest days of our lives! It started out like any other regular Friday teaching our morning classes. Except of course, we were in full costume. Denise and I are avid lovers of the Halloween Holiday season. We want to apologize for our shameful Halloween costumes this year. We were "one of those girls." Yes, we wore cute dresses with only wings and other accessories. We do have an excuse though...We are in Taiwan! We don't speak Chinese! We don't know where anything is! Our sincere apologies.
The afternoon classes were cancelled because kids got trick or treat to different classrooms. The chant they were taught:
Trick or Treat, Smell my feet!
Give me something good to eat!
Not too big, not too small!
Just the size of Korrnell School!
After school hours came the Halloween games. Teachers set up games in the classrooms and hundreds of kids came around to complete them from 7pm until 10pm. But, I will say, the Pizza Hut pizza at the end of the night made up for the long hours slightly.
Although Denise and I were dead tired, our spirits were high! A party at "The Batcave" awaited us. We had no idea where it was, what it was or who was going to be there. All we knew was there was cheap beer - we were there. We trekked to the party with our new buddy Mike and with Chinese directions (with the help of a Chinese teacher, thanks!). By midnight we had made it. Officially Halloween and officially ready for a good time! We made it home around 5:30am after putting a sufficient dent in the beer tub.
With no concept of time and no one to tell us when it's time to go home...I think we may be in trouble!
