| Being a hermit for the past few days made me desprately want to get out, even though I had plans for Halloween night. My friend and I biked up the road that went parallel to the coast and eventually got this sight when we reached the area where my base school was. It wasn't as great a sight as I hoped, but on the plus side - exercise! |

| (L-R) Peter, Kelsey, Me At the venue for the ALT Aomori Prefecture Halloween celebration. Lots of alcohol was to be had here. Had a Strong and another chu-hai while walking to the venue (Strong is the brand name of a popular chu-hai. Chu-hais are basically delicious mixed drinks in cans coming in flavors ranging from pear, to peach and proofs of 6 to 16. Strong is 9% alcohol!) Oh yeah, and you can legally drink in public in Japan. AWESOME RIGHT. Drink a beer while passing a cop on the street, they can't do anything to you! |
 |
| Already drunk at this point - and so are these random Japanese folk! This is technically "after" the ALT party. The ALT party stopped at around 11PM, and from there a party with a different host took over, and a whole bunch of Japanese pepole came in. Apparently the DJ was famous? and from Tokyo? It became much more fun after the crowds came in though, for sure. |
 |
| Another photo with some random Japanese folks. Throughout the night in my drunken stupor, I would shout over the blasting music to random people, "一緒に！一緒に！" (issho ni! issho ni!; together! together!) and dragged countless Japanese people, some of whom were sober, and not feeling it, to the dance floor and to the raised dancing platform. |
 |
| Last photo to conclude the night. The 3 people no the left are ALTs and the 3 girls on the right are complete strangers. Someone shouted at me to take a picture with them so, still drunk, I thought, "why not?" |
