Ok being as sick as a dog, didn't help much to give everyone a non-jaded perpective, but this is the viewpoint that is Halloween: every Korean child is either a witch or a wizard!
Korean children need to step their Halloween game up! It was very hard to judge the Halloween contest when everyone partically wore the same costume. There was maybe one devil or one vampire. Ironically most Korean women sported devil horns for Halloween or cat ears. Very basic. However, I think Korean children are perhaps the children American people want as trick or treaters. All the children were greatful to get candy and they were not bratty about it.
I wanted to go to Hongdae to perhaps see the rest of the drunken English teachers/ military people get wild out in costumes. It's just one of those days where complete idiocy is acceptable and sometimes encouraged. Cultural note: I am mainly reffering to the military here, although I have crossed some sleezy English teachers in my time in Asia. I am still slightly sick and I openly wish everyone had my cold after being sick on what is usually my funniest 2 weeks of the year. Of course just this is a gross exaggeration.
