Regardless.... we all came up with activities to do with the kids in our classrooms and the kids would rotate from classroom to classroom doing Halloween activities. The school ordered some costumes for us... without asking us.
Its kinda funny how things work here in Korea. They never ask you for your opinion, even if it is on a costume you are going to be wearing. Nope... they just order it for you and then act insulted when you don't wear it.
I did not wear the outfit that was ordered for me, mostly because it was the SAME as another teacher. I'm not going to be the same as someone else. The whole point of Halloween is to be original... if the point was for everyone to be the same.... there would be Halloween uniforms.
Considering the fact that uniforms are a no-no on halloween unless you are going as Catholic School girl Britney Spears..... I had to come up with my own idea.
I went as a pirate.
Being a pirate was very easy... i already had the eye patch and the hat. You are probably wondering where I got an eye patch and a pirate hat??
When I left home, my lovely friends threw me a pirate themed going away/bday party. I got the hat from them and the eye patch as well. It was all in all a great outfit. They had a red cape there... I don't know if a cape was pirate-appropriate, but I wore it anyway. All the kids called me Captain Hook all day.
I think the costume was pretty fitting considering my job all day was to carve pumpkins... So... I was playing with a small sword (or a knife) all day.
Erik and I did all the carving... i think together we carved around 10-12 pumpkins. Thats a lot of scooping of guts. The kids were mostly repelled by the idea of touching pumpkin brains.
Here are some photos of my fellow teachers....

I don't know who had the genius idea of doing an apple bob... but it didn't turn out well. it made everyone laugh though. Those kids tried really hard.
