Decorating for holidays can be a bit tricky when living overseas, especially Halloween. Large, orange pumpkins are nowhere to be seen in our area. The closest thing we can find is a butternut squash or a gourd. So this year, we settled with decorating oranges with jack-o-lantern faces and had a great time!
There is a group of Thai students studying English this semester at our university. They put together a Halloween party for the College of Foreign Languages and it was very interesting! The students at our university rarely do anything for Halloween, so this was unique for them. We had the opportunity to tell some of our students about the story of the Son raising Lazarus from the dead.
