Surprisingly, Sean and I saw a lot more Halloween spirit in Changzhou than we were anticipating though we created a bit of our own as well. First, we carved pumpkins which were a bit different from American pumpkins. They are smaller and have thicker walls. We brought our pumpkins to class and to English corner which caused a flood of picture-taking.


Because it was Halloween, Sean got a haircut and shaved off his beard. It cost a total of $1.50.


Then we decided to go to Pizza Hut for dinner where the host was decked out in an orange cape and all of the watiers and watresses were foreced to wear red devil horns.


After consuming a declious bacon and cheese stuffed crust pizza and waffle fries, we headed to the only western bar in the city where we were greeted with an impressive Hallowen party complete with decorations, horror movies and a crowd of Europeans in costumes.

This is the bartender and owner of the bar who was obviously in the spirit of things.

Here are some friends we met who teach English at a different university - check out his spooky eyes.

I also ran into Edward Cullen who came to promote his movie, New Moon.

Sean also had a run-in with the vampire.

All in all it was a good Halloween and it's not over yet. Tonight (Sunday) we are heading to the "Dinosaur Park" (a giant amusement/theme park in Changzhou) to continue the festivities.
