So here is a post about a few things I've done recently back in Melbourne. As you all know, Halloween was last week. However, as you may not know, Halloween is not popular AT ALL in Australia. How did I find this out? On public transit into the city to meet up with a few friends at the bar.
Now I'm a big fan of "go big or go home" so I went all out with my Frankenstein costume. Like so:
Let's just say, I got a lot of awkward stares on the train, and was only too happy to get into the American Bar the Kodiak Club on Brunswick St. It was decorated nicely and I had some great friends inside.
New Orleans, Danish, and myself (Danish dressed as a Canadian)
Some other friends as "the three blind mice"
My frankenstein legs
Then I was out again on Friday night at the Wild Things Fundraiser for the protection of Australian Forests. Recently in Sydney a large forest fire was started by kids with cigarettes. They are often destroyed due to the heat. Besides the cause, the best part of the night was being able to dress up! They had great bands (like the WooHoo Revue I saw at the Northcote Festival), massages, facepaint and Henna tattoos as well.
My "mother nature" costume, made of dollar store objects, and my henna tattoo
An amazing singer/band that I have yet to find the name of.

It was a lot less embarassing going downtown with Germany so that was better than Halloween. But oh well, sometimes you have to dress funny and just not care!
