Here is the crew from the ESS Halloween PartyWell that is your Japanese lesson for the day, "Happi Harroween" is Happy Halloween in Japanese. Tough, I know. So, yes, this past weekend I celebrated my FAVORITE holiday (what can I say, I love costumes!), HALLOWEEN!!! Japan does not really celebrate Halloween, but that was not going to stop me from dressing in costume! As a matter of fact, it is becoming a bigger holiday because of the foreign influence. You think they would all trick-o-treat and make jack-o-lanterns becaues of all the Halloween paraphanalia they sell starting in September, but then again they really don't celebrate Christmas and they already have huge displays of Christmas stuff out and its not even December.

The previous Friday we made a Halloween poster that was hung at school for all the students to learn about Halloween. It was quite an accomplishment. We had pictures, directions on how to make Jack-o-Lanterns, and small translations of Japanese and English. I was quite proud

The Japanese having trouble eating the doughnutof my girls! This Friday i suprised them with a great Halloween party. I told them to bring costumes and I thought they would forget them. Oh no, they brought some masks and hats to wear! It was great. I came roaring down the stairs in my pirate costume and barged into the party room. Other teachers and students started to think "what in the world is going on?" There were even 3 boys not in English club who decided to join our party. We started off by decorating masks and perssimmons. I have yet to see a real pumpkin in Japan, so we altered our Jack-o-Lanterns a bit by decorating tiny orange persimmons instead.
