Halloween (Contest)

It's the day before Halloween, but the costume contest hosted by the university took place this evening. Also, there were tons of students who came to campus in costume today.
It was fun! I enjoyed seeing what kinds of costumes people wore. Some were rather interesting and creative. Many were pretty or funny or clever. There were people in face paint and make-up, and I saw several guys wearing skirts. Some people did costumes in a group.

I didn't concern myself with taking good pictures. I just sat in an area when my class ended early today and took some pictures from afar




























I think this is really fun! I love seeing costumes. It reminds me of being at anime conventions in the U.S. (or in Germany), where a lot of people cosplay.
No one wears Halloween costumes to school at my own university in the U.S. I don't remember anything special ever happening on Halloween. I'm glad that students here dress up.


The costume contest started around 6:30 pm. It was very crowded and I wasn't in an ideal spot. I tried to take pictures but once again, they're not good. In addition, about half of my pictures came out hopelessly blurry :(
Both Japanese students and exchange students participated. There were different categories. First, people walked out in their costumes, and later other contestants did performances in costumes.




























Happy Halloween
