Halloween weekend

What a crazy weekend.  First, Friday was just a wild day at the school.  I was told to start my day at noon which is 50 minutes earlier than normal. Which was no problem, but then I get a call from one of the other teachers at about 11:40AM telling me I am late. Which from what I knew about when I was supposed to be at work that wasn't true.. Anyways, we were celebrating Halloween with the kindergarten classes and had to dress up.  So i bought the cheapest stuff I could find which ended up being an eye patch and crappy pirate hat.  worked out fine.  All the kids dressed up and we took them out around our area walking and singing Halloween songs in our costumes.  Then we ended up at the park where each of the teachers were on the corners holding bags of candy and the kids would trick or treat and get candy from us.
Here is an awesome picture which is also extremely funny in front of the school:
Friday night was awesome. went to my friend shaun's dad's new bar called pub hq.  The best part was that I was on my bar A game and won 3 games of darts and a game of pool! what a night! 

On Saturday I took a train with 12 other foreign teachers to Busan to watch one of the biggest fireworks shows in the world.  It is such a big event when you go you have to go stay on the beach all day to stake out a spot.  We got to the beach at around 2pm and the place was already getting extremely busy.  The show didn't start until 8pm.  So we waiting on the beach all day, which ended up being a fun time.  Unfortunately it started to rain around 7pm, so we were waiting on the beach in the rain for another hour to watch an hour long fireworks show in the rain too! it was a bit crazy doing that, but it was well worth it.  That was easily the best fireworks show I have ever seen.  People really need to take notes for the 4th of July hahaha.  That night we went out to a couple bars in Busan which was a good time. And there were plenty of foreigners out which is really fun.  I ended p sleeping on the wooden floor in a hotel room some of the other people in my group rented.  That was awesomely painful, but a lot better than sleeping outside in the rain.  Great weekend though, and met a few really cool people who I will continue to hang out with. Gotta love making new friends.
