Halloween

This week was Halloween and as you might know from various tv series and movies, people over here are going crazy for that. At home, Halloween is hardly noticed, apart from some kids going trick or treating and an occasional party. Here in Canada, Halloween is not only a day but a full week of parties and events and everyone dresses up.
The celebrating started with a Halloween party organized by ISAP which took place on campus. One of the big conference halls was transofrmed in a huge scary party room including a hauted house (which was really funny because most of the actors were my friends) and everybody dressed up and went there.
Halloween costumes that you can buy here are all pretty expensive and slutty. So I decided to be very original and dress up as a grandma. =)

On the weekend there were various parties all over town, however we stayed in and had our own nice non-halloween evening because nobody really felt like dressing up.
We did go out on wednesday, though. It was pretty spontanious and as I was trying to find some white hairspray at the supermarked they were all sold out. So I quickly changed plans and went as a vampire. We had a little pre-party at UCH and the we went downtown. The only club in Kamloops was crowded and everybody was dressed up. You can compare this to carneval or Fasching in Austria, only that they have more creative costumes here.
