Halloween decorations
It’s Halloween coming up- the time when condemned souls walk the earth, rivers run with blood of unknown provenance and children will find their plastic Vampire teeth mildly uncomfortable.
I was walking around by Yu Yuan at the weekend (the old town really- those side streets near Yu Yuan) and I spotted a bunch of halloween decorations for sale.
Deeply chilling I’m sure you’ll agree- I would give the address for the shop but when I went back to find it the next day…IT HAD COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED*
I’m still in two minds about my costume- a lot of people have said that when I take my shirt off I look a lot like Jason Stackhouse from True Blood, but others have said I’m a dead ringer for Don Draper out of Mad Men.
*Not really- in Nanshi (near the Bund) try:
225 FuYou Lu near Anren Lu
福佑路225号 近安仁路
If you’re in Gubei / Hongqiao you can get decorations at my buddy Steven’s parents place:
Star Box
Shop E16 Hongqiao Flower Market
is that you James? the guy in the the bottom-left picture.
Hey Jeff- yeah that’s me, I’ve lost some weight recently- thanks for noticing!
You strike me more of a Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean type of guy!
Fortunately, our school has decided to throw the Halloween party on Friday, 30 Oct -and I’m day off. Planning to come as a surgeon with a blood spattered smock, mask and scalpel.
Spared. Thankfully Halloween is NOT part of my culture.
Miss Jane- yes I get that comparison a lot
Jamieson- don’t forget a few pigs eyeballs in your pocket. For snacks if nothing else.
