School and the Halloween party

School like usual. After I headed home, did some shopping and laundry and then took a nap. Got up and headed out around 8:00. Halloween is a newer holiday here in Japan. When I was here in 2005 there were some decorations here and there but not much really happend.
Now halloween is a bigger holiday and there are a couple common things that people do. One thing that is pretty much a thing that foriegners do is the Yamanote Run. This is where a bunch of people dress up and run around making noise and acting crazy on the main line in Tokyo. This tends to annoy people on the train and JR has often posted notices on their website asking people not to do this.
The other common thing that people do is have parties. This is the one that I oppted for. Temple had a party at Muse and it was supprisingly packed. Most of the girls dressed as either Geishas, Nurses, School Girls, or Race Queens. It was pretty good. I met some cool people and barrowed a couple different costumes.
From there a bunch of people and I all headed to Curtain Call in Roppongi Hills for a supprise birthday party. I stayed there till morning and headed home.
