Halloween!!!

I had such a tough time deciding on what I wanted to go out as this year for Halloween. I knew I wanted to be something that at least remotely represented Canada. I bounced around a couple ideas with my fellow Canadian here, Alanna, about possibly being a pair of Canadian Mounties, or possibly a Tim Hortons Cup and Doughnut. While these would have probably looked quite funny we decided they were just too tough to create. Alanna threw out an idea for us to be Lumberjacks and I liked it, so we began our quest to make the costumes.

The hardest thing for us to find seemed to be a pair of overalls that were actually big enough to where. We finally found some in Osu Kannon in a dress-up shop, along with a bunch of other stuff we had fun trying on! Oh, and I forgot to mention that we were doing all this shopping only a few hours before the Halloween party we were going to, so we were cutting it very close!

We headed home to put on our costumes and met a while later. A couple of Alanna's roommates came with us as well dressed up as Mini Mouse (Kristin) and a High School Nerd (Crystal). When we finally arrived at the party, we were greeted by Spider Man and a Ninja to take our tickets. We knew then it was going to be a fun night!

We stayed at the party for a couple hours and left when people started to get a bit out of control. Not wanting to go home quite yet we decided we'd go to an American sports bar by Imaike Station. We must have been quite the funny site on the subway, as we were traveling with Lady Gaga(Whitney), a Garden Gnome (Melody), Stewie from Mad TV (Taylor), Mini Mouse, a Nerd, and a couple of Lumberjacks!

 I remember thinking when I first arrived in Japan how much people would stop and stare at me as I passed by. Let me tell you that that had nothing on the amount of strange looks I received that night!
