Hey all,

With Halloween coming up and I was just curious if anyone knew where any good costume shops in or around Seoul.

Thanks!

Haha, I was actually thinking of doing that.... Or a cab driver... There's this uniform shop near Namdaemun that has SO many different uniforms- there's gotta be something funny there... Just as long as it's not going to get me into any trouble!

here's a good idea for a costume.
i won a prize with this one.
get some old clothes you no longer want, put spray glue all over the clothes and then take shredded newspapers and stick them all over the clothes.

go as "The Sunday Papers"

That was a good JJ song.

Just go as a hooker.. lots of mini-skirts everywhere with the high boots Wink easiest costume in the world.

However, dressing up and walking around like that may look alot funnier than a real actual costume.. Shocked

See that would be funny except I don't need to dress up in a mini skirt and high boots to get called a hooker here.

I'm encouraging my hagwon kids to also dress up for Halloween day. I'll probably bring some candy to class for trick-or-treating.


I'm looking at a couple of ideas for costumes and your input on where to find items in Seoul.

Thought I'd go as a farmer. I'm looking for overalls, XL, and a Korean-style farm worker hat. I'll have a bandana, boots, and a rake or some kind of tool go along with it.

The other idea would be as a Korean or American soldier. Anyone know where I can find camoflage uniforms in Seoul? Are there such places as those military surplus stores we have in N.A?

The good thing about the camoflage is that I could turn around and use it if I were ever to go play paintball, or hide in the mountains if the commies to the North were to attack us!Wink



Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Next to the train station in Suwon, there's an "American style" mall that has a shop that sells lots of Halloween type stuff. Pricey, but great! If you're teaching the kindy's, you could have them make masks from paper plates and decorate bags. Have a few moms in the neighborhood provide snacks for "trick or treaters." Did that once and had a ball! Talk it up with your director. A bunch of "Halloween dressed" students parading through the neighborhood is great advertisement!

These theme seems to go over extremely well and gets really crazy on Halloween in Greenwhich Village (NYC) and the one in San Francisco.. both are great places to celebrate Halloween as an adult.. absolute madness.. never been to the New Orleans Halloween.. thats gotta be right up there as well.. (as its gotta be good in Toronto, London, Sydney as well)..

As far as Seoul.. probably wouldn't go over very well at all..

I love that idea! Fabuloa. I might be really original, and go as a fairy! It would be cool to go as Morpheous, but god knows where i could get the costume from. Also, the vampire chick from Underworld was pretty cool, in a kind of bondagey way.
