Hello, dreamers! I know I'm a bit late but I just want to wish you all a Happy Halloween!Halloween was a huge part of my childhood back in Sweden. Everyone in my neighbourhood would decorate their house and dress up to go Trick or Treating around the neighbourhood.
However, Halloween isn't really a widely celebrated Holiday here in S. Korea, so unfortunately it was a bit underwhelming for me this year as well. I would've loved to spook out some kids and hand out some candy this year. But, I settled for dressing up and going out with my friends over the weekend. I tried a lot of different looks and the one in the picture to the right is one of them. Can you guess which character I was inspired by?
Anyway, I went to Hongdae on Friday and only like 10% (which were mostly club workers) were dressed up for Halloween. I ended up still having a really good time with my friends tho. On Saturday I went to Itaewon and everything was completely covered in Halloween decorations and it was packed with people (although too many for my liking) and literally everyone was dressed up to the max. It was so much fun to look at all the amazing costumes and we ended up going to some quiet bars to hang out because most places were completely packed. I had a very pleasant time.
So, except for the parties at clubs and bars in popular areas, there's really not much going on here during Halloween. My neighbourhood looked just as it always does, there's no "trick or treating" going on, and it's just not celebrated at home at all. But overall it was a pretty good Halloween. It was a huge motivator for me to wear some makeup looks that I wouldn't dare to wear on normal occasions. How was your Halloween? Is it widely celebrated where you come from? I would love to hear about it in the comments!
Stay spooky and drink more water, dreamers. See you again soon!
