Halloween Colmbian Style



Today is Halloween! Wooo hoo!! Colombians LOVE Halloween. I mean Love. Love. Love. They love getting dressed up and having a reason to throw a party. This past weekend was absolutely nuts. So many bars, night clubs, restaurants, stores, etc. threw Halloween parties I couldn’t even keep track of them all. Not that I had any desire to go to any , but still, I would have liked to see a total count of celebrations by the end of the weekend.
At school today we also threw our own little celebration. The kids were permitted to forego their usual uniforms and rock whatever they wanted. Wow. I think I saw it all. Even high schools were cool enough to put on some incredible costumes. There were Disney princesses, Zelda, army men, flappers, Jack Sparrow, Hawaiian women, ninjas, and so many more. I got such a kick seeing all the students get so involved.

Best costume award?  One of my 10th graders dressed up as Deadmau5. Seriously. It was legit. I didn’t exactly know who Deadmau5 was, but the costume was great none-the-less. I googled him and found out that he’s a famous electronic DJ who always wears this mouse costume. Google it and you will see exactly what one of my students looked like. Crazy awesome!
