Another Halloween come and gone. This year was about the same as any other year except for two things. First off, I did not get to go to the annual Halloween party with my friends. But, this year I did get to go to another party with my friends from China. All of my friends who I travelled with plus my friends Judy and Kitty went to the party. The party was like most other parties I had been to, but for some of my friends they saw new sides to the people they knew and they also saw things they had never seen before.

The party was fun. Some people were chatting, drawing pictures of pumpkins, dancing and just having a good time. Not too many people had outrageous costumes, but my friends Taylor, David and MCK were wearing some pretty colorful clothes. They could not find the costumes they wanted, so they went to a clothing store and bought the most colorful clothes they could find. This included scarfs, mittens and earmuffs. They reminded me of Santa’s elves on acid.

Near the end of the party a large group of people we did not really know showed up. It looked as if someone else’s party decided to just leave and come to our party. It was cool, but I thought there were too many people for the small apartment, my teachers, their friends, Kitty and I all decided to leave. But first Kitty wanted to look at some more people costumes because she thought they were interesting. I thought that was interesting because to me, Halloween is such a natural thing. It does not seem odd to me to see guys dressed up as Britney Spears, but for her it was something totally new.
