Halloween

Oh my god, Halloween was a blast here! Halloween is pretty much an American invention, and has only filtered to Germany a little bit, but it has made its' way across the ocean.

At first I was going to dress as a day of the dead sugar skull thingy, but then Jen and I had some last minute inspiration...so we decide to dress as representatives of our countries :)

Which means I was the Statue of Liberty and Jen was a lumberjack lol!

We went out shopping on Saturday to a couple secondhand stores, where I found some satin sheets to wear and Jen found some suspenders and a toque. Then back to the apartment for durums and die Simpsons, then we started getting ready.

And pre-gaming (aka vorsaufen) with Stroh....a note about Stroh is needed...Jen had told me about a bad experience with Stroh before, and it is an 80% (160 proof!!!) Austrian liquor. And it is potent. Oh boy, is it potent. I had brought a bottle back with me from Austria, and we finished it. We were drunk before even leaving the house.

So we got all dressed up (including epic eye makeup for me and chest hair for Jen) and stumbled down to the Irish bar. We were the evenings entertainment on the U-Bahn, as we were the only ones in costume, and well, we're loud and silly anyways.

So we get to the bar, which is packed, so we decide to bounce next door to the Australian bar. And there, no bullshit, we started the party. We started dancing and pretty soon we had a group of people dancing with us. Started with another girl, then a guy, then more started in. We had a ton of fun!

We went upstairs to cool down (it was HOT in there!) and I then got serenaded by 2 German guys trying to sing the Star Spangled Banner, albeit to the tune of Amazing Grace. Then we went home. It was a lot of fun :)

We brought Halloween to Munich :)

Happy Halloween!
