We have now been in Ireland for 11 weeks, and over the course of those weeks I have settled into life in a foreign country and gained a lot of experience. I will be sharing with you my Halloween experience in Ireland, Dublin and especially my own company where I work in.
My name is Jil, I’m 16 years old and currently living in Clarehall. In Switzerland we don’t celebrate Halloween the same as here in Ireland. What many don’t know is that Halloween originated in Ireland. Which is why I think the people here are so crazy about it. A lot of people take Halloween very seriously, and I think you could compare it to Carnival in Switzerland. You see spooky decorations in the houses, and lots of parties and events are being organized. What surprised me the most was that every person from little kids to old people likes to enjoy Halloween with their friends or alone.
On the 31st of October where a lot of fireworks in the evening going on and it was very loud outside. In my neighborhood where a lot of kids doing the trick or treat on the front doors dressed up as all sorts of things. My company, the ISI language School Dublin, did a lot for Halloween and for the lots of foreign students that we have there. As you see in the first photo there is the Dia de los Muertos Altar, they put this up because there are so many Spanish-speaking students, so that they could understand what the day is all about.
