Language:
The Halloween party this year in Xi’an, which was organized by foreigners, was the most cosmopolitan party I had ever been to. All continents had their representants. There were people coming from the usual Western countries (United States, Canada, France, Italy, Australia, England, Ireland), people from Latin America (Ecuador and Mexico), and people from some more unusual countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Bahrain, Pakistan, India, South Korea). Many Chinese were also invited.
As it is the tradition, on Halloween, people were wearing disguises. Here are pictures of some of the disguises people wore during the party.
This American guy wanted to dress up as chairman Mao, but he bought the wrong costume, and ended up dressing up as his opponent, Chiang Kai-shek (founder of the Republic of China, Taiwan).
Some French people.
An Indian guy, dressed up as a pregnant nun, is chatting with a French woman dressed up as a Black woman.
People are touching his fake belly.
A Mexican guy wearing the traditional costume from the Arabian Peninsula, the thawb and red keffiyeh. Islamic costumes were popular at this party. However, two Pakistani guys went too far when they dressed up as mujahideens (Islamic religious warriors) with fake Ak-47s and walked down the street. It turned out to be a very bad idea, especially in China. They were arrested, their weapons confiscated, and then released.
As usual, everybody was taking pictures of their costumes and of others.
In the end, the apartment where the party took place, was all messed up. The four people who live there will have to clean up everything themselves.
Shattered glass, dirty floors, cigarette butts everywere… the cleaning job ahead will be long and unpleasant…
