It’s hard to be away from home for an extended period of time, and one of the things that makes it harder is missing the holidays. For me the hardest holiday to miss has to be Halloween. The day basically celebrates costumes alcohol and candy, could there be any better combination? Well the Germans don’t really do Halloween. No costumes, no trick or treating and lame parties. Well I decided that I was not going to let that get me down; I was going to dress up and make the best of it. My original intention was to dress up as Gene and wear a cut off shirt a dirty apron a bandana and carry around a can of mixed vegetables. After much deliberation I decided that nobody would get this and a cut off shirt might be a little cold. I then decided to be a ridiculous as possible so I made a robot costume out of a cardboard box. For a brief moment I contemplated being a sexy robot but since most Germans have never seen an American Halloween they would probably not know that anything can be made into a Halloween costume if you put the word sexy in front of it and then take off half your clothes and since I work with children only wearing a cardboard box might be slightly inappropriate. Basically my costume was not well received. Everywhere I went people glared at me like I escaped from the mental hospital and at any moment I might murder their children. There were a few funny interactions though.
What I learned from my experience in
- Germans have no sense of humor
- The most common Halloween costume here is frigid German with stick up ass
- There is a Guy who rides the u-bahn who thinks Robots are sexy
- When people ask you what you are meant to be the correct answer is fucking hilarious.
- German children are stupid and think that I am really a robot
