Paddy's Halloween Party!

In case I've yet to mention, I've joined a school circle - Paddy Fielders' Tea Party - which is essentially a English Conversation Club. And it held a Halloween Party this recent Tuesday night.
It was held at a small pub-like place at Kabukicho from about 7pm onwards. I've never been to a Halloween Party before and this was pretty fun - especially seeing everyone's costumes and creative efforts. Being stingy, I absolutely refused to buy any worthless items just for Halloween, so that led to me deciding on my costume just 1 hour before the party itself. Thankfully Rachel had like everything haha. So I went as a ... gypsy! Apparently I looked like Jack Sparrow /some mediterranean thing too since one or 2 people approached me with the same reaction, but oh well. There was free-flow drinks (as is common in Japan) and food too! The food was pretty yummy, especially the dessert! The executive committee performed as a band as well and sang songs to entertain us. We even played bingo cards (with 5 winners but unfortunately I wasn't one of them) and there was a best-dressed prize too. Japanese seem to have no reticence about going in front to perform and sing though -interesting. And Seung Hee, a Korean girl in the circle and who stays in the dorm nearby, said that Koreans are probably even more 'shameless' in the karaoke sense lol.

So some pictures below:
