I have never figured out what the actual event is celebrating, but for me it is a time to haul out a black marker and give myself a really wicked 'stache. I can't actually remember the last time I didn't have a moustache for Halloween but my memory is limited to this year and last :)
We had our Halloween party at school on Monday and Tuesday which was fun. They don't really celebrate Halloween in Korea so unfortunately not many of the kids dressed up. The school, however, rented costumes for all of the teachers and bought some decorations and candy. The kids were not really big on saying "Trick or Treat" and instead "Give me candy" was much more popular. I was worried they were going to get a bit sugar wired but they were not too hyper.

As for teachers costumes, I was a pirate, Andy was Elvis and Eric was a jailbird. The costume selection we had was a little scant so we did the best we could (and I of course needed to select something that would allow me to take a little jiffy to my lip). The costumes were actually really good and I think the school forked out a fair hunk of change for them. The kids loved that we were dressed up but I think the whole concept was a little lost on them because about 10 students told me that we must all be crazy. It was sort of weird being in the classroom and being the only one dressed up so two days of that was more than enough.
