Ah yes, another Halloween has come at last! I celebrated my last one in Xiamen, China, and now it's time for Chinese Halloween round two in Shanghai.
It's already 9:30, but the options for Halloween shenanigans are endless. It seems that the first stop will be at a new bar at "The Cool Docks", which is a new club, bar, and restaurant district, and then on to a dance club called Candy for the rest of the evening. The Cool Docks is the new home of Shanghai Tattoo, which is where I got my koi done last fall. Their new shop is awesome!
Anyway, I can't say that I know that Shanghai's Halloween parties will beat the craziness of Franklin Street back in Chapel Hill (which we all know is the "end all" of Halloween parties), but it should be a lot of fun nonetheless!
--------------------
I hope that everyone gets a chance to go out and run around as some sort of masked devil this year! Keep the Halloween spirit strong! There's not enough of it over here, that's for sure.
But hey, sometimes you just have to make do with what you have.
Happy Halloween!

Quick Halloween-in-China story:
So, we paid 100 kuai for all you can eat, all you can drink beer and wine event. It was in the center of a mall, gated off so you had to pay to get in. What it ended up being was some sort of Westerner zoo. There were people crowded along the entire length of the barrier, taking pictures, and it continued on up for three stories. Taking pictures, fine, but standing there for half an hour to an hour... ridiculous. Yes, I had a few unhappy encounters with the spectators.
I miss Franklin.
