Last week I experienced my first Japanese party–a Halloween party at one of the dorms of Nanzan University.
Let’s see if it’s something like an American dress-up party 
Halloween just got very popular in Japan the past two years. People treat it as a dress-up day, without really knowing the meaning behind Halloween.
The difference might be, Japanese students don’t really dress-up like these to school, like we might do in America. There might not be a rule but I guess they don’t want to scare the professors.

Studying on one of the most beautiful campuses in the US, she enjoys photography, reading, Japanese tea ceremony and her Japanese class every morning. For her, learning new things every day is the most satisfying feeling. While studying abroad in Japan she hopes to immerse herself in both traditional and modern Japanese culture, improve her Japanese to a higher level and make new friends.</span></p>
