Halloween! YES!

It's weird seeing Halloween decorations all over Japan when no one here actually celebrates it. Yet every shop window is adorned with pumpkins and ghosts. But I don't mind - I would've missed the decorations.
CIE held a Halloween costume contest today (instead of actual Halloween, curiously enough). If I remember correctly, there were 40-something entries into the contest, though more costumed people could be seen around campus.

I was a road. The adorable person standing next to me is my speaking partner, Megumi. She, as well as 99% of Japanese students, did not dress up.

Most of my photos from the actual competition are blurry since I was standing pretty far away from where the judging was taking place. But I managed to snap some interesting costumes that I saw.
For the fantasy and crossdressing categories, respectively.

A very creative Jellyfish!

The CIE staff being adorable.

This kid wasn't in the contest, but he was just too cute.

Ryo won. For obvious reasons.
