My First Halloween in the U.S.

 

 

 

         Where is the best place in the world to celebrate Halloween? Definitely in the U.S. I came from

 

a country (Saudi Arabia) where Halloween is not a big holiday, I was insanely excited about

 

experiencing a proper Halloween in New York City. Me and my friend  carve a pumpkin at our

 

university I could not ask for a better activity. Carving a pumpkin actually involves some techniques

 

that I cannot wait to share with my non U.S. friends next year. It was very entertaining and satisfying

 

to find out how evil our pumpkin looked like once we put a candle in the middle. Most of my

 

American friends seemed to be over Halloween because they have been celebrate it so many times.

 

But I felt like a little child about to experience her first real Halloween ever. I like the children's when

 

they came and nock the door asking for candy a trick or a treat. But overall, this Halloween 2013 was

 

unbelievable and I am looking forward to sharing this experience with my friends back home.
