While it's not celebrated here in Kuwait, that doesn't mean there aren't parties!! A friend of ours hosted a costume party on his rooftop. The weather here is perfect right now, so of course this was a great idea. Abboud and I went as Wilma and Fred (Flinstones).
We arrived early to help set up and came out into a mostly done arrange of decorations. There are few things here that make me feel at home, but this moment of seeing all the cut out bats, pumpkin carvings, cider drinks, and Halloween candy was just like being in the states. And to top it off, when everyone arrived, they were just as done up in costumes.
The party went on for hours, full of treats, beer games and playing cards. With off course, some monster mash music. I highly recommend to anyone living here from a western country... Make sure you still celebrate your holidays as well as the cultures' you're in. Duh, twice the amount of parties! :)
