I am from Russia, and we do not celebrate Halloween!
It has always been my dream to experience one of the weirdest things (IMHO;) - to celebrate Halloween!
Unfortunately, I am too old to go around and trick-or-treat (although, I love candies very much:) So the teacher from the previous school brought pumpkins to the class and we had Pumpkin Carving!
As I said before, I always wanted to participate in any kind of Halloween activity. So that was more than perfect to actually carve pumpkins! It is on of the most exciting experiences! I realize that that probably sounds very strange especially for US citizens, because they do carve pumpkin since their early childhood.
On the right is the pisture of our pumpkins.
While carving pumpkins we found out that it is not that easy!
Everything starts when you choose one at the store, because you should use a special kind of pumpkins for this kind of activity! (it should be rather soft and ripe). We were not so lucky with our pumpkin as it was very firm and almost impossible to carve, but we did it anyway! Yeey!
Also there are thousand of different conditions one should follow carving the pumpkins, but I am not going to tell it now.
Anyone who has never done it and has an oportunity to do it, please do so!!! It's a lot of fun!
