Trick or Treat!
Today is Halloween. A few people went out this weekend to
party, but most people don’t know about Halloween or forgot about it. It’s
really hard to keep track of the days here at the Shan. I almost forgot it was
Halloween today. When I first arrived I brought Halloween decorations from the
States and put them up on my door. Everyone was shocked by my decorations, but
I think people mostly liked it. When I first put up the decorations Master Guo
came to my room for room inspection and laughed at my decorations.
Tonight around 8:30 I went around the Shan knocking on
people’s doors saying “trick-or-treat”. I started with Scott and Brittany; she
gave me two Chinese cookies. I then went to Amitai’s room and trick or treated
at his door. He didn’t have anything to give me so he told me to play a trick
on him. I didn’t know what to do so I made him eat the cookies… they weren’t
very good so I guess that was kinda like a trick. I then went to his neighbor’s room they are
from India. It’s so funny to see people scrounging around with a little bit of
panic in their face while they are looking for things to give me. I told them I
wanted something from India when they offered me a Chinese snicker’s bar. They
had cookies from India that I tried which were very good. Before I left they
told me I had to give them treats. I went to my room and got Hershey’s kisses,
peanut butter cups and a few red licorices. They loved the chocolate. Amitai
said we should go door to door and trick or treat. I grabbed more licorice and
knocked on some doors. Instead of asking them for candy I said “trick or treat”
and when they answered I gave them licorice. Backwards I know, but it was fun.
Two people gave me treats, David gave me an apple and Kyle gave me a mini
mandarin orange. I think people liked the treats. I didn’t knock on everyone’s
door because most people sleep around 8pm. I knocked on my neighbor’s door and they were
both in bed. When I told them I had candy for them Forest shot up in his bed
with excitement, it was so funny.
It was a fun Halloween. I didn’t wear a costume, I should have
put on a mask or something, but I was in my kung fu pants so I was kinda in a
costume.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
