Its Beginning to Look A lot like Halloween...

This week we started decorating for Halloween at the English Corner! Everyone was making such cute decorations. I can’t wait to help out more (I had a lot of students this week so I didn’t get to help much). Its really exciting, everything is starting to come together.  The Haunted House opens the 31^st and is open to everyone on campus! (It’s a Wednesday and likely to be during the evening, more details coming soon!!).

This weekend was the Dream Carnival at Chiang Kai-Shek (CKS) Memorial Hall. Its an event that was started in 2002 to promote friendship and celebrate differences. Its a large parade with costumes and floats handmade by the different troupes. This year troupes from New Orleans Mardi Gras were invited. Some of the floats were beautiful and some a little unsettling (lol).



 

The parade is put on by an education foundation apparently, which makes more sense now seeing as that most of the musicians in the parade were children between elementary and middle school age (they were very talented).  The costumes made me want my color pencils to draw.

 



I do have a lot more pictures than this (so just shoot me a message if you would like to see them).
Last order of business! A new PV (promotional video its the same as a music video) from Japan about Halloween. HYDE (lead singer of L'arc~en~ciel and VAMPS) is heading up the project with rock stars like Tatsurou (MUCC) and pop stars like Anna Tsuchiya and TommyHeavenly. Here's the preview, isn't it fun. Blake said we should have done something like this for the haunted house, a mad tea party! Maybe its something we can do at SVSU with our clubs in the future.
