I know I know... Halloween has come and gone, but you know what? I never got around to writing a post specifically for the spookiest night of the year. Anyways here ya go, better late than ever. Sooo Koreans are well aware of this very American holiday. Some choose to recognize it... most don't, but thats okay! Theres still plenty of haunts for all us spooks to seek out and enjoy the night of terror. I checked out a couple different areas of Seoul in hopes of finding my celebrative brotherin. First Gangnam (the area famous for the song named after it). Not much was going on though. Gangnam is a real fancy area, comparative to Beverly Hills in LA. Next stop was a Hangdea, a university area. I thought there'd be a bunch of stuff going on, but not so much. There was a little bit of festiveness in the air, but I was hoping for more. Lastly I checked out Itaewon, which is the seedy foreigners area. I wouldn't say it's dangerous, but definitely the kind of place where one might find them self in a brawl. As I had suspected though, this turned out to be the most Halloween friendly spot. There were all sorts of folks walking around in costumes, drinking, and living night to the fullest. If you've ever been to Halloween in Waikiki, its nothing like that, but still not to shabby considering we're outside of America celebrating an American holiday. I was armed with my brand new tailor made suit and a horse mask, dancing "Gangnam Style" all over the place. Twas a night to be remembered. I never leave home with out a camera, so here ya guys go! I took plenty of pics, and I even put together a vid for this one. Enjoy.
Wow. The outfits look so amazing !! From the pictures it seems like it was a lot of FUN!
