MY HALLOWEEN NIGHT IN SEOUL

Ok. I will have to admit that I was little too excited for my first costume-appropriate Halloween in Seoul.

How did it start?

Well, it was quite funny, actually. I was with the girls from HongKong and we started talking about the glorious days in Hong Kong. And as all women do, we started digging up the old photos, falling in to the pond of memories.

Here is a photo that made us fall into our dear memories.

(OMG!! we were so young back then!!! It's a shame that we only have small pix photo)

And, that got us thinking, why don't we revive our Halloween memory of Hong Kong and dress just as we did back then? Even though we were about 6 years younger, we could still pull it off!!!

And here's us in our costumes.

I went as black Bunny Girl, considering that 6 years of consuming life in Seoul have got to changed me from white/pink bunny to black, tired-to-death one. (Also, I will have to admit that my preference in clothing has changed a little) My two friends were ghost and witch, and they also were very upgraded. Especially as for my ghost friend, who was even thought as white dumpling back in 2007, it was great stepping up.

When we first arrived in Itaewon, one of my favorite region in Seoul, Korea, we weren't so sure about our costumes. Cause we were kind of afraid that we were the only ones with costumes, trying too hard which got us, say... conservative, in a way.

But when we arrived in Itaewon, we were one of the normal ones. (well, not really, but this is an expression that there were so many crazy people) So we went with heavier make-up. I became bunny girl with heave dark circles around my eyes, as dead bunny(i.e tired-to-death bunny) and my bleeding dumpling ghost friend was staring to bleed in her eyes along with her mouth. It's quite funny that people like to become extreme.

And this is how we changed..

                        

Here's before & after. (Black bunny girl to near death bunny)

                        

And, about how atmospheres were in Itaewon..

       

OMG. Only word that could describe the way I felt is confusion. I had noooo idea that Koreans were that open minded and funny! Itaewon was literally filled with crowds and people were going crazy altogether even with the freezing weather. (oh, in case you were wondering, Koreans spend their Halloween on the last Saturday of October)
Every single bars in Itaewon was packed and just no words for how packed clubs were. I have to admit that I am a little relieved and excited at the same time at the fact that Koreans are now enjoying Halloween!!

                      

It was a crazy night, and I am very happy we tried this in Korea. I am already filled with ideas for my next Halloween, hopefully in Hong Kong.

Lastly, I just want to say how lucky I am to have such good friends who can share life-long memories together.

Love, Victoria
