Creeper on Halloween

I am so pleased with today. Halloween (in China at least).

Even though I have been running on next to no sleep, I had the best time. Today we were able to have a Halloween party with our kids! Obviously Halloween isn't as big in China as it is in the U.S., but the kids still got all dressed up, along with all of us teachers, and we had so much fun. No tokens. No BMC's. No rules. No lines. Just fun!

We took tons of pictures, painted faces, played mummy games, at candy, and just had the best time ever!

I was a witch. Classic. Vivian was Snow White. She's my favorite child. Love her.

Tonight we had a giant Halloween party with all of the families who have children in the Bond Program. There was about 400 people probably. Us teachers had to prepare a dance to perform for the entire group! So we put our clever little brains to work...and copied the dance from Just Dance to the song "This is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas. We painted our faces like zombies and dressed up all scary. Typical, I know. But hey, at least we didn't do thriller..

Not only did we have to perform, but our cute little kids had to as well! As much as I'd love to say it was an enormous success...it was actually kind of a huge flop. But we will pretend it went just as we planned it!

And last but not least, we were in charge of the Haunted House! It was a pretty legit haunted house if you ask me...at least for children. But let's just say, what we think is just a little scary in the U.S. is actually terrifying to the Chinese people. There were quite a few tears shed...but not because of me. Let's be honest, I'm awful at being scary.

Although I am totally missing Halloween in the U.S., I had such a good time today! Now I am ready to wipe this atrocious makeup off of my face and go to sleep...for a very long long time.

Goodnight.

P.S. To explain the title: Tonight I had to lie to a drunk Asian, who claimed he was in love with me, and tell him that I was married. Every other girl here get's the cute Asian's to obsess over them(and yes, there are some cute Chinese guys)...me? I get crusty drunk men. My future looks depressing.
