Hallowe'en





As many of you know, Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I was kind of nervous spending it here since I had heard that it was not a very big holiday compared to the US. Now I don't know if there was any trick or treating (since I don't exactly hang out with grade schoolers) but it is definitely the same for university students. Me and my flatmates Erin and Alida got in our "fancy dress" (aka costumes) and went clubbing downtown. And just like back home girls used it as an excuse to dress like ...ahem... girls who have pride in their figures. :)

So, hightlights of the night:
-Alida proved that she must now hold my hand when jaywalking as she can't be trusted to look the right way
-The girl who we saw flirting with The Hulk earlier in the night, later had green paint smeared all over here face :) Priceless!
- I experienced the most terrifying pickup line ever in which a guy grabbed my head and started shouting over the music "give me your face, give me your face!". I'm still not sure if that was a "It puts the lotion on its skin" type thing or what...
-I was told by a very drunk gentleman that I was "the Queen of HIS Heart". I declined his offer to buy me a drink. I don't think the King of Hearts would have approved. ;)
- If enough people dress up as The Joker it actually starts to become really scary.
-Alida's friend Liam, who had dressed up as a priest, kept having people apologize to him for being rowdy and swearing. Apparently his costume was a little too good and people really thought he was a priest!
