First Halloween★

Happy Halloween!!!


How was your Halloween?：D

It was the first time to participate in American Halloween party! I really wanted to experience American Halloween.


Japanese people know Halloween ,but there is not home party and trick or treat. We just know the day. That's why I really wanted to participate in American Halloween!! I wish Halloween was in Japan.


Actually, I participated in 2 parties, because parties were held at MFWI and my host family's house.

On November 29th, the Halloween party was held at MFWI campus. After class, most students went back to their dorm quickly.

At 7 p.m, When I reached to the party hall, I was surprised because everybody changed nicely!!

During the party, some groups performed great dance!! We enjoyed the party dancing and eating and taking so many pictures. Also, RA start the dance that most of them know! I don't know the dance, but I could join it easily. the dance like, listen the song and it said "step forward","clap hands!""jump!"or something like this. I guess it was not the Halloween dance, but many people enjoyed the dance!!

After the party, we did trick or treat:D I was so happy, because I wanted to do that!! Maybe I was like a little kid:)haha

Another party was absolutely awesome!!! One of my friends Yuka invited me to the party that held by her host family because I met them twice in last semester: ) Also Yuka's roommate Tomomi was invited the party. I was so happy because it was great opportunity to experience a real American Halloween party!!



Host Mother Teri cooked Big Pumpkin Pot. It was hollowed inside, and there is a minced meat, pumpkin, onion and cream sauce. We made faces on the pumpkin by using carrot and one of spice. It looks so cute and it was so delicious. I don't know that is traditional food or not, but it looks like traditional food. One of Teri's friend made snacks, it looks like bone!! She made it by marshmallows and thin pretzels and white chocolate! It was so delicious! Yuka, Tomomi and I couldn't stop eating! We ate lots of Halloween foods:)



During the party, there were trick or treaters:) We gave them some snacks when they said "Trick or Treat." When kids didn't say it, we said "What do you say:D" and then, they said it★ they were so cute!!! They brought pillowcase instead of the basket!!!haha I just heard some children bring pillowcase, but I didn't expect. However, I saw some kids brought pillowcase and I was knocked out by cute pillowcase and the kids!haha They were sooooooo cute!!:D



Then, We played the game. It was like, get the marbles by using own fingers of foot. The marble were in the super cold water!! There were so many ices in the water. We had to grab the marbles from the water as much as we can! All of visitors did it, but they couldn't grab many marbles because of cold!! Finally, a girl won. She got 82 marbles within 40sec!haha

After the game, we watched "Thriller." It seems custom of their Halloween!:D

I really enjoyed real American Halloween party!!! I Could experience a lot. We prepared for the party, ate Halloween food, Felt atmosphere. I appreciate Yuka's host family and this opportunity!



Thanks★★
