To finish out the week the other English teachers and I had a Friday night Halloween Trick or Treat Party. We decorated the large space outside the elevator doors on our 6th floor living quarters. We had the required candy along with popcorn and tang. Students were required to wear a costume to attend. I was a witch and my duty was to stand at the elevator doors and not admit the ones without a costume. The majority of them had to be ENCOURAGED by the wicked witch to put on their masks. Some of them actually made their costumes with paper and pen but the majority took the easy way out and bought a mardi gras feathery mask to wear. No spiderman, kung fu panda, iron man to be seen in the bunch. There were lots of screams and lots of picture taking. The students were a little loud but we managed to finish up the party by 8:30 and clean up by about 9:00 so we only bothered the hotel guests for just a few hours. The hotel manager did pay us a visit and was a little mad – but we didn’t feel too guilty because we live with their hotel guests playing loud card games in their halls till 11 or later. The hotel has an open area from the 4th floor to the 6th which amplifies all voices to “can’t sleep” levels”.
