With the help of some other resident teachers, we hosted the now second annual Nanjing Halloween Party.
To really appreciate these photos, however, you need to understand that Halloween is a uniquely American holiday. Very few costumes can be found; what is available is for children. So everyone at our party had to use their creative juices.
Prize for most creative, hand crafted: Washington, as a tube of Crest Tooth Paste.

The prize for the most authentic goes to Julia, as a Chinese Police Officer, using her father’s uniform, and complete with accessories: a badge, walkie-talkie, and a suction dart gun.
