Our celebration of this non-Chilean holiday started early-Tuesday afternoon. Katy and I baked delicious chocolate cupcakes and frosted them with brown, white, orange, and green Halloween designs. There was a ghost, a spider, a bat, a witch hat, 2 monsters, a black cat, etc. We gave them to Diego for his birthday. Giving them to him was a little bit of a scene because we showed up to his apartment in bunny and zebra costumes on our way to a Halloween party. The Halloween party was thrown by Miercoles Po', the organization that has parties at different clubs every Wednesday night for foreigners and Chileans. This week's party was aptly themed Halloween Po'. (Po is a word that Chileans say at the end of every thought: "Si po, huevon, vamanos a Miercoles Po).
On Friday Katy and I went to Patronato- a funky fashion neighborhood reminiscent of Harajuku- and found costumes. The best part about our costumes is that we bought them at normal stores and the people there would not consider them costumes. After costume hunting we met up with Giorgette, a girl from our dance class, and went to an Arabic restaurant with her. After lunch I met up with Javiera, my tandem partner, and we went to ice cream and sat outside to enjoy the sun.

Friday was also Aaron's birthday so we celebrated. It was a fun mix of Americans, Chileans, Australians, and Europeans. We all met at a hostel and after awhile walked to a club in Bellavista. It was another succesful night of dancing! We ended the night Chilean style by eating chorillana at 4:30am.
Saturday was Halloween so of course we had to dress up and go out! I was a zebra, Katy a leopard, Becca Cleopatra, Emily Lady Gaga, and Meera ??? (maybe a drag queen). We got ready together and then split ways because we were going to different parties. It was a fun night even though we didn't end up dancing. Highlight of the night: getting asked out by a Chilean cop. Not professional behavior!
