Halloween provided the students here at Tsinghua yet another opportunity to have fun. Albeit, this time in fancy dress. Initially sceptical, the prospect of imitating the character Joker from the recent blockbuster hit 'Batman: The Dark Knight' was too persuasive to decline. A few Qingdao Beers later, the party was in full swing with everyone living their role. Especially me (just wait for the videos! ;-).
A large group of around 20 or so met in the local halls of residence to warm up before the big night. This provided a great opportunity to stalk and frighten the unsuspecting residents, including the poor ladies at the reception desk! My pencil prop certainly added to the horror. A similar occasion was when I was entering the lift to be greeted with the screams of six shocked Korean girls- most amusing. You could say, it certainly put a 'smile on my face'.
Adequately relieved of any remaining inhibitions, we hit one of Beijing's largest Halloween parties, the Yen Fetish Halloween Party. With a crowd supposedly over one thousand of ghouls, witches and other disturbing creatures composed of the shattered figments of the darkest of imaginations, free drinks on entry, the party was an utter uproar.
Now however, the fun must be suspended - mid-term exams await in just over a week. A good reason to be 'so serious'. Gulp.
