I got back from Thailand a week ago – I can’t believe it, time truly flies! It is November already…and as of today; I only have 49 days left in Hong Kong! I have loved my time studying abroad – traveling, making new friends, experiencing new cultures!
On Halloween a group of exchange student friends and I dressed-up to go to Central – the main city area of Hong Kong. We heard that Central was very crowded on Halloween, but we had no idea what we were about to get ourselves into!
Imagine New York on New Years, but with people all dressed up in crazy Halloween costumes! The police were everywhere and herding people in fenced in cages along the streets! Nearly all of the streets were blocked off – and to get to the main bar district of Central where everyone celebrates Halloween, there was a line that wrapped around 4 or 5 city blocks! Of course, we weren’t going to let a line stop us, and waited in line for just over an hour!
I dressed up as an angel! When I was traveling in Beijing I found angel wings for $1.75USD, and I made my “toga” angel dress out of a white bed sheet! Tons and tons of people were taking pictures of me! It was like the paparazzi like I’ve never experienced before!
Happy Halloween from Hong Kong and Happy November!
