Unfortunately, Jake's sickness required a change in location for the planned festivities. Luckily, Michael was willing to get his room trashed for a good cause. We decorated with the minimal supplies we could find in Korea. Trust me, this is several days and numerous stores later...so don't knock it. Kim's tissue ghost streamers really took the room to the next level though. Saddly, only about half of the Korean's wore a costume and the others disappointed us. We meant to paint their faces, but got distracted by games and fun.
Jake and I had created a silly scavenger hunt earlier in the week. We invented corny riddles that hinted at locations around our apartment complex to find clues from the roof to an old, smelly mattress in a stairwell. Then, we hid small treasures with the clues and had the Koreans divide into two teams for the battle. It ended up being hysterical. Watching them frantically run up and down stairwells searching for more riddles. One involved Trick-or-Treating at Kim and Jesse's where they got to sample their first jello shots. The downer came when they had to venture to the park in the rain. Carrie jumped up to reach the clue and slipped down the slide into rain, sand, and mud. Note to Erin: You are taller than most Korean women.
The other hit of the evening was SwAMp PuNCh. I concocted a mixture of rum, cider, lemonade, limeade, melon sherbert, and plastic fingers. It turned out a mucus green, but tasted delish. I lured many to the dark side with the tastiness. I originally bought a pretty punch bowl for the mixture, but shattered it after an incident that involved opening the ice bag with a butcher knife over the sink. No more details necessary. Ha, ha.
Well, we hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween. Jake is still not feeling too great and was sad to miss all the excitement. I'm sure it would have been 100x better with him aboard.
