First post in a while - mainly because last semester wasn't TOO exciting. I didn't travel that much, and there weren't a lot of fun holidays to write about. BUT! Now it's the start of my last semester in Thailand (granted I get accepted to teacher's college in the all), and the winter semester has many more opportunities for fun!
Halloween is sort of celebrate in Thailand, but definitely not to the same extent as Canada. People will have Halloween parties, and go out, but that's about it really. And some schools will do small Halloween activities. Normally on holidays, I like to make a craft with my students. I don't do crafts very often because I have to buy all the supplies myself, and it can be quite time consuming. But Halloween has always been my favourite holiday, so I wanted to do something special. I decided to have my students make Jack-o-Lantern hats - which I especially liked because it gave them sort of a costume. So, I spent about 300 baht on supplies, and 3 hours cutting up the paper into smaller pieces. But it was so worth it!
( PSI had also planned to wear a costume, but all the teachers at our school have to wear black and white as the head of the Thai Buddhist monks recently passed away. So I decided a costume wouldn't be appropriate)
Here are some pictures for your amusement:
