Halloween

Predictably, Halloween at ECC was entertaining. The kids had some fantastic costumes, though the clear winner was Michael's homemade pink dinosaur that has to be seen to be believed. Other greats were James' bat, Neal's wizard, Jeremy's panda, and of course Johnny playing the devil that he is. I love the pictures in the set of the three terrors of Pluto class fighting over the devil's fork while simultaneously trying to stab me with it as I took the pictures. It really is the embodiment of Pluto class. Will went as one of the characters from the video game Street Fighter, Henah was a sexy pumpkin, and I went as the thing that terrifies Koreans most: swine flu. The teachers were each in charge of a room where we did different activities. I had the kids do a Frankenstein's monster relay race where they had to race with their hands outstretched and without bending their knees. It was actually pretty entertaining, and I had them compete in a bracket, handing out pieces of candy as we went. At the end we were supposed to go trick or treating at the dentist's and bar downstairs, but the shopowners didn't want the kids there because of Swine Flu. Thus the kids got no trick or treating in, since it doesn't exist in Korea. Don't worry though, we sent them home with baskets full of candy anyway.
