October 31 is Halloween

We had a big party for Halloween at Café Uilenstede, which I wasn’t really expecting since it’s not a holiday here.  As the rest of Amsterdam had a normal Wednesday, while we crazy international students celebrated Halloween in style!  60+ students all dressed up in costume and went to the crappy pub that’s about 500m from my dorm, in the middle of housing campus.  I dressed up as "static cling" aka "static electricity" — all black with socks taped on me and my hair sprayed straight up.  Bzzzzzz.  It was sooo much fun!  One comment: in the US, college girls dress up not just in costumes, but in sexy costumes on Halloween.  Everyone here just wore non-scandalous costumes.  Not quite doing it right, but it was amazing ;)
