Last Saturday Dede and I went to Nagoya for Halloween. A friend said that he and others were going to attend 'The Absolute Halloween', which included entry to seven different clubs, all for only 3000 yen! (about $35AU) Considering Halloween isn't really celebrated in Australia, we didn't want to miss this opportunity.
On Thursday I ordered my costume, and Dede decided to be a zombie so we had to research how to do all of his makeup. My costume arrived Friday night, thank goodness! Then we went out to buy a LOT of makeup, which funnily enough was mostly for Dede.
On Saturday we got to the hotel at around 3:30pm and realised that it was located within one minute of most of the clubs! We both got ready...Dede's makeup took about four hours.
At around 8:00pm we went to our first place, the Red Rock Club. Turns out it was an Australian bar so there were plenty of people to talk to. They had a deal going; 3000 yen for an all you can eat buffet and all you can drink. We should have arrived earlier, it was from 6:00pm - 9:00pm!!
We met a few people, but our friends hadn't arrived in Nagoya yet so we stayed at the same spot. At 8:30pm they announced there would be a costume competition. I was hoping to win a prize, and thought I had a pretty good chance...and I did!! I won third place with my Little Red Riding Hood costume. I got a cute little cat toy, and a 1500 yen voucher which I couldn't use on the night, so we'll have to go back again sometime.
Lots of girls during the night wanted photos with me :p
At around 9:00pm we were off to meet our friends!
I don't think we made it to all the clubs...it was a pretty exhausting night!
The first two clubs were fun; the night had only just begun so there weren't many people about and I could dance on my own in the dark :p The last club we went to was awful. The DJ played un-dance-able songs, and kept cutting the track to yell out "Are you having a good time? Happy Halloween". Awful.
Oh, and yes, I danced. I think I enjoyed it for the first time. I put it down to my recent exercise routine. Ten minutes of leg toning, ten minutes of cardio, then six minutes of dancing to PSY.
The next day, the hotel offered either western or Japanese style breakfast. The western was pitiful; bread and coffee. Awful bread too, melon-pan and stuff like that. Not even really western. So we had Japanese; udon noodles, rice, etc. It was so yummy!
