Halloween

Korean style, yeah! The school had their Halloween party for the students this last week, Thursday and Friday. They tried their very hardest to do it like we do in America, and I'd say they did a pretty good job of it. On Thursday, it was the same ol', same ol' for us. Nothing was different except for the fact that some of the students came to class wearing costumes and/or had a friend with them. Because our school is run like a business, they rely on some advertising to bring in new "clients", the students. So, for Halloween they had tons of balloons that advertised JLS and had the school's phone number on them, and the students were allowed to bring a friend (or two) or even their siblings. The school made little ticket like passes for the students to give to the friends they wanted to invite, therefore advertising more to new prospective clientele. Anyway, business duties aside, they turned the school into a Halloween fest- lights dimmed down, classrooms with many decorations, Halloween music, coffin props for pictures, and topped off with a nicely done Halloween slide show/video on the t.v. On Friday we did not do any teaching at all. In the moment it was great, but that means next week we have to do double lesson on Friday to catch those students up, as they missed a day of class. Oh well. But, instead of teaching, we had to be dressed in costume from 2:30 until 9 p.m., and all we did was either stand and pose for photos with ALL of the students or help out the homeroom teachers during the games. The photos part was extremely boring. It took about an hour or more for each block of students. We didn't have time to eat anything until 7:20. The school bought everyone coffee and Kimbop. Kimbop is a very cheap and very quick meal. What we had was like a sushi roll, but no sushi. It had carrots, radish, egg, and some kind of cooked fish all rolled in rice and coated in seaweed. Very delicious! Overall, it was a great and fun day. We didn't get any pictures on my camera of us in our costumes, but the school has plenty. We will ask for a photo so I can post one on here for you all to see us :) Jeremy had lots of fun being a ninja, though unfortunately he ripped the pants :( Hope you all have a great Halloween!
