Halloween Day

As you would assume, there in no Halloween in Korean.  However, as I teach at an English school, my boss thinks it's important in learning English for the kids to learn about western cultures.  Needless to say, we got to dress up for work and give the kids candy and have Halloween parties.

I decided to be Winnifred Sanderson despite the fact that no one would understand the pop culture reference. As I (finally) had bright red hair on Halloween, I went for it.

My boss asked me if I had any fun Halloween activities planned for the kids.  I kinda joked that I wanted to teach them the "Trick or treat, smell my feet" song, thinking she would shrug off the suggestion.  But she LOVED the song and decided that every teacher at the school had to teach the song to all of their classes.  So now, a total of 400 Korean children from this day forward on Halloween will sing "Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, if you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear."

Go me.

Once I learned that a lot of my students (especially the older ones) aspire to work for the U.N.,  I have started to teach them slang terms without telling them it's slang.  I'm hoping they'll use the terms in perhaps, a job interview for a U.N. position or something.  Should be hilarious.



Or maybe they'll walk in singing the trick-or-treat song...
