My first Halloween Party

Last year (2007), I had a Halloween party whth my Taiwaness friends.

That was my first Halloween party.

Actully, I'd known that waht halloween before I had a party.

Because it is a strange culture for me.

Maybe, many Asian students also don't know that.

So, I'll introduce about Halloween simply.

Halloween or Hallowe'en is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties.

Usually, people have a costume party.

The ancient people believed that on night of October 31, the spirits of deceased would visit their family and witches would appear. And they would cause ploblems such as sickness or damaged crops.

Thus, people wear costume or mask to protect self from badness.

All my friends prepared custume.
But I didn't.
Finally, I dressd a soccer uniform and a bandage on my leg.
At last, I attched sticking plaster on my face.
It looks like a hurt soccer player?^^

We had a great time.


We saw costume each other and estimated score.
There were varied costume.

It is one of the most interesting parties in my life.

The Midnapore Lake

I'll talk about The Midnapore Lake.
When I came to Calgary, I'd stayed at homestay nearby Shawnessy.
Actully, I'd stayed there for a month.
There was a lake park for village folk.
My host parents usually go to there to exercise and walking.
So, I've been to follow them there three times.
There were very peaseful and tranquil.


I could exercise many kinds of activity like that swimming, fishing, throwing discus, canoe boat, paddle boat.....
And all of them are FREE!!!


When I visited there first time, I was very suprised.
And when I heard that the lake was made by human, I was suprised again.



Especially, I liked green grass in the lake.
There were covered with grass almost all.
I could walk there without shoes.
And I also tumbled down the grass hill like a child.
That reminded me of my childhood.

It is my good memory in Canada.
If you live neayby Shawnessy Station, you should go there!!
Maybe you'll like there.
