Two South African friends put on a couple of the fun things I mentioned. Your cul-de-sac celebration sounds like it was great – such a shame you can’t export it to Seoul. Sending a hug for the homesickness.

We always had a big cookout in our cul de sac before the actual trick-or-treating began, so it was a wonderful, convivial night with friends and neighbors besides the trick-or-treating. I just showed a PowerPoint to my little English learners called, ‘Halloween in the USA’ and made myself horribly homesick while showing them how much fun we always had.
Seoul, by contrast, is very quiet, although there were lots of private parties. If I didn’t teach at an elementary school, it probably would have sneaked right by me this year….
