Happy Halloween!

Well, Halloween has come and gone for another year so I thought I'd write a bit about it..Here we go!

On Friday morning, I woke up early and headed downstairs to the daycare to decorate the class for the Halloween party I would be having with my students from 6pm-8pm. I taught from 3:00-3:50 and then had an hour break in which I did my make up for my costume. I taught one more class from 5:00-5:50 and then went downstairs for the party. All of the students showed up on time which was great! I asked each student to bring a snack or drink to share at the party and the mount of food/drinks we ended up with was gigantic! All of the kids had a great time at the party with all of the fun games and the costume contest..oh, and the candy of course! After the party, I headed from Moriya to Toride to meet Daryle who was finishing up a private lesson at Starbucks. We headed into Tokyo and made our own mixed drinks on the train ride there. Alot of people on the train gave me glances and surprised faces because of my scary make up..a few people even asked to have their pictures taken with me. Daryle and I arrive in Shinjuku around 11pm and headed for Ni-chome (the gay area). We headed to my favorite bar Advocates which was really busy with people. We had a few drinks there, headed to GB (which was dead!) and then found a great takoyaki place where we stopped for some takoyaki (balls of pastry with octopus inside)..the guy cooking was soo cute and the takoyaki was so good that we promised him we would come back later for me. We headed to Dragon and I met up with my friend Oki. It wasn't long before we saw some people we had befriended at Advocates show up at Dragon. My great friend Myles and his friend Michael also showed up which was awesome. The biggest thing I remember from Dragon was the hotty-mc-naughty bartender with the assless underwear and muscles for days! Oki, Daryle & I headed to our favorite curry restaurant where we always eat when in Shinjuku. It was great, but as always my mind was bigger than my stomach and I couldn't finish. Thanks to Daryle for helping me finish my meal! Daryle and I ran into his friend Tony outside Arty Farty and hung out talking on the side of the road for awhile before catching the trains back home. It was a great Halloween and I'll never forget it!
