Halloween!!

The weekend was a little crazy because there were two special parties. First of them was Halloween Party prepared by girl from the United States. This was my first party like that because in my country we have totally different tradiction.  In Poland people are very religious. In the beginning of November we have All Souls' Day (Zaduszki) and All Saints' Day (Wszystkich Świętych). During there days Polish people go to churches to pray for their dead relatives and they visit graveyards. It's time of reflection and memoirs.

So back to the party. It was in american climate. Everyone wore some scary costumes and make-up. There were some vampires, a witch, pirates, animals etc. The best costume was Shrek :D And I was a mumie. At the party was very loud and funny. Everybody had great humor and we were laughting all the time. There were also dance and typical american games. One of them was beer pong. I've known this game from Americans movies or series like Greek with brotherhoods and sororities. So it was piece of something what we call in Poland "American Dream". In this game players don't use rackets but they try to throw the ball into plastic cup with beer. Then the loser has to drink it and they play as long as nothing will leave. I tried it but it was really difficult to hit the target. But I have to admit that it was funny :) I don't know the name of the second game but in this one there were two teams. Players stood in front of their enemies. It was a little like a race which team drinks beer faster. After one person drank his cup, he had to turn in upside-down in special way (which I can't exactly explained). Then the next one could do the same thing.  With this game, there were a lot of volontiers and fun.
There was also special punch made of apples, juice and alcohol. I don't know all ingredient but I'll ask the cook for recipe because it was delicious!!

In conclusion, I can say that it was really pleasant party and very interesting experience. American style is so different than mine. In Poland there are also some Halloween parties but I don't think they are similar to this one. I'd like to repeat it some day.

In Gent, on this Friday, there is a Halloween Party at Porter House so we'll see how it is in Belgian style :p
