2# As spirits roam the neighbourhoods at night, Let loose upon the Earth till it be light.

That's right! Halloween goodies have, from an early age, become inextricably melded in my mind as one experience for all time. The main difference is that it is going to be held in America, in a country where they are taking this kind of event very serious, so therefore are every single street in Lynnwood decorated with wonderful and scary decorations like, pumpkins, skeletons, scary sounds and etc. For instant have our neighbourhood set up a sensor which will play a scary noise or Michael Jackson’s Thriller song for every time you cross his house. It is absolutely very creative, and it is very interesting to see how creative these Americans are.

Halloween night is almost upon us, and tomorrow we will likely see trick-or-treat night. Last Friday, we had a Halloween dance at Edmonds community college. That was an unforgettable night; I was actually very surprised and happy to enjoy a Halloween with my classmates and American fellows.  I was 

very exited about that night, and ready to scary other people even my own classmates. So what I did, was that I bought my Halloween clothes and bought some make ups, and made a kind of scar with tissue in water and fake blood, which was included in the make-up box. I just showed to my host mom and host dad, and even to one of my exchanging students, and they were in chock and said that it was very scary, and asked me, how I did it.

But as soon as I was, at the Halloween dance, I suddenly find out how much fun and delightful it really was. Every body was dressed very well, and it was more than just creative. I really loved Andreas’, Jan’s, Frederik’s Christian’s costume. It was very funny and the way they act with those costumes was a little bit scary, like they dressed up like 4 old ladies. 

It is me, Christian and Oliver

On the other way, the music, or probably the DJ really turned many good songs on, so therefore you really feel like to dance very much, and that was absolutely what I was doing. I was dancing and dancing, and even sometimes I danced with somebody who I really didn’t know who they were, and we really had a great night.

At that night I remember one sudden experience, which was when I was teaching Mette Lundorf a Dance step, which is this one.

When I was doing this dance step, I could see a boy following or more like watching me very much, and I thought it will be very nice to know who he was, so I asked him whether he wants to dance with me. Suddenly, he really made different and most awesome moves, and at that moment I was feeling like, I really want to learn something from him. We were just starting a kind of dance battle, but I thanked no, because I really want to know him better and even learn something from him, and by the way I have a swollen ankle so therefor my dance would be more limited.

Anyway, I found out what his name was, and he showed me many moves, which was very crazy and even smart. Suddenly I also found out, that there is a lot of things to learn, and even if you say like I have reached my goal, it really isn’t like that, because there are actually so much to learn, so therefore the word learn is not possible to define.

I really have to say that this Halloween night was not just a scary night for me, but a night which made me think what I could do while I am here in America. What kind of things will I learn? What will make me more different?

I come up with ideas like I want to be more acrobatic, I want to dance hip-hop and even learn break dance and Pakour. So actually know I am start adding some new abilities to my self.  So for now, I have just watched some videos in youtube, and tried them out, especially the dance moves, and I have even mixed some moves with the Tamil way of dancing, and may be one day I will be very glad to show up what a kind of difference one incident in America done for me.
