Halloween started in Ireland?

I never knew the whole idea of Halloween started in Ireland! When the end of October was approaching I was wondering if they celebrated this holiday the way we do in America. Quickly I learned that Halloween started in Ireland! Then I was told that everyone dresses up, which meant I had to start looking for a costume store in Galway. Amber and I found one about five minutes from our apartment & luckily we both found a costume we liked. Compared to the price of everything else in this country, the costume was not too bad only 15 euros! This was a great deal especially because the cost of costumes in the states usually start at around $50. After I got my costume I was pretty excited for it to be Halloween.

                                                All of us at the townhouse before going out!

Three of our Irish friends dressed up as Americans which was really funny. Lorcan dressed up as Reggie Bush, Darren dressed up as Charlie Sheen, and Jamie dressed up as an American guy, from what he saw from Kyle. I noticed in Ireland the costumes are more original then at  home. They even put so much face makeup on! My friend Linda had so much face makeup but it made her costume 10X better,  you could tell she put so much thought into it & made it herself.

We all decided we were going to go to a club called Carbon. We found the promoters for the club on the street so we all got stamps for a discounted entry fee and we even got to skip the Q!! ( As the Irish would call the line )
