The Europeans always tell me, "We don't need an excuse to have a party!"
I get that. I truly do. However, when given the opportunity, why would you not use a holiday like Halloween to have a little fun? You can dress up and have a beer instead of just having a beer. Oh, hey, and the day after Halloween is a public holiday that most Germans have off.
To my total surprise, the Germans and Europeans did not take advantage of this as much as I thought they would. I thought, to my utter horror, that I would be spending the night in my room instead of out celebrating one of the best (in my opinion) holidays of the year.
It turns out, that one of my wonderful friends was invited to a Halloween party at a house around Achalm. We had to walk quite a ways to get up to what turned out to be a German fraternity house. The fraternities here in Germany are not as socially-based as they are in the States. Here, the fraternity we went to hang out with on Halloween night was a textile-based fraternity.
The house was beautiful, the decorations were unbelievable, and the people inside were really nice.
Thank goodness my Halloween didn't end up being a bust like I thought it was going to be.
Hope you had a "spooktacular" Halloween!
