Halloween Korean Style!

This was my first Halloween away from home and in Korea, so I was a bit hesitant as to how much fun it would be. Costumes are hard to find because Koreans don't celebrate or know Halloween. I had decided on my costume awhile ago, but if I had actually gotten started on it earlier than I did I could have made it way better. Anyways, I met Carolina in her hood, so we could get ready for the Halloween Party at Rhythm and Booze in Bucheon together. I was going as a Harajuku girl from Japan and Carolina was going as Richard Simmons. We spent just over an hour at her house getting ready, eating microwave popcorn and pre-drinking soju and diet coke.

Carolina a.k.a Richard Simmons - her hair rocked the show. I had more layers on than you will ever know. My neck was weighed down by necklaces and scarves.

Since, we were running a bit late we had to rush to Tiffany's boyfriend Greg's house to meet her and Carmela, so we could head to Bucheon together. Tiffany and Carmela had, in my opinion, the best costumes. They went as Korean Air flight attendants and put a lot of work into their costume.

Carmela and Tiffany in their amazing Korean Air flight attendant costumes, with an airplane and tary of drinks included.

Rhythm and Booze was packed with foreigners dressed up and drinking for the Halloween festivites. Most people had some pretty great costumes, while others lacked character or didn't dress up at all.

Tracy came as Pippi Longstockings and she looked so adorable. Karalee and Laura came as Korean school girls in their matching school uniforms. Another great costume idea.

Ross is the ping pong (table tennis) champion of the world. Beware!

Carolina and I wanted to drink as cheap as possible, so we kept making soju and diet coke runs to the convienent store down the street. On the way back we detoured and I found this awesome pink bike. I decided to try it out and realized their was no seat on the bike, whoever took the seat off the bike just left the seat in the basket on the bike...silly people.

Me and the awesome pink 'seatless' bike. Marelize and Stefan showed up as Smurfs...completely unplanned, but awesome. Look who came to Korea for a visit...ALEXIS! She came dressed as a gold digger. It was good to see her.

Throughout the night R & B had a costume contest and fear factor contest. Carolina, Nick, Nicole and Damien were my friends that participated in it. The first challenge was to chug larvae without puking. Nick didn't make it past the first round, but Carolina was a champion. She chugged the larvae like nobodies business and finished before everyone else.

This is Carolina showing off just how BIG of a champion she was at the fear factor contest. A night wouldn't be complete in Korea without some random person passed out drunk in a bar. Unfortunately, this guy fell victim to our prey, so we took advantage and took a photo.

Q is one of my favorite Korean friends because he's hilarious and dressed up as a gangster Panada...bwahahaha!

I was over the Halloween party before the fear factor contest, but I decided to stick it out and wait for my Yeonsu friends, so we could cab home together. Around 4:00 a.m. Tracy, Nicole, Holly and I grabbed a cab and headed home for some food at the Orange place in Yeonsu before parting ways to head home to bed.
