Halloween in Israel

I think Halloween can be counted as my least favorite holidays.

Not that I hate it, it's just down there on the list.

 I DO enjoy how freakn cute all the little kids are all dressed up, and I do remember loving to dress up for Halloween when I was a wee-one.

 So celebrating Halloween in a country that doesn't usually celebrate it was a stretch for me, but once we got started it was a ball. I thank Hali,

who is full of Halloween spirit and excitement for everyone.

We all made our costumes, while watching Nightmare Before Christmas, 

out of what we brought to Israel and let me tell ya,
we did not come with Halloween in mind. Except the lovely person who knew I would need pink tights to complete my ensemble:)
At the end of the day (and by end of the day I mean,
3 hours before the party started)

it was decided I would rock the 80's in Israel.

So we had a bunch of sexy vampires, a Pink Lady,
bumble bee, geisha, and an aerobics chick.

The party was in Yehiam, which is the kibbutz next to ours. We hitched a ride with a lovely kibbutsnik and squoze 10 people into a
5 person car...With room to spare.

I figure we are either really skinny, or flexible;)

We got to the party early, because this was our only ride, and was pleasantly surprised with the decorations, pub, and people. Our friend David was the DJ, there for we didn't have to watch as people "clubbed" to "Cotton Eye Joe" or Eiffels "Blue".

(Israel loves the 90's)

I love the pubs here. Everyone dances and interacts with everyone.

No men standing on the edge trying to look cool or

give you a "you fine" nod.

No, no. Here the men openly point and yell about you.

 I might not be fluent in Hebrew but I'm pretty sure I can tell when someone

is saying something along the line of
"I could tap that" ;)

Now would be a good time to mention that we,

the MASA dancers of Ga'aton, are a phenomenon.

 I do not joke when I say guys travel to our nothing pub in Ga'aton

because of all the dancers.

 So all night guys would point with their friends and say, 

"Those are the dancers!" It's very funny.

It was a great night full of dancing, and good company.

2 am rolled around and we had to find a ride back to the kibbutz.

We ended up asking a very nice guy who was trying his best

to be get in the good graces of Hali, to drive us home.

I ended up driving us home, thank you God, and sent the man back to Yehiam.

A solid Halloween in Israel.
