During the leisure time while studying as an international student in the United States, one important part is to experience local life and American culture. In the past, I\u2019ve seen a lot of movies or images showing people\u2019s life in United States, one thing I most interested in is the way they celebrate festivals, there are many traditions during these holidays, such as \u201cPardoning the Thanksgiving Turkey\u201d during the Thanksgiving Day, building a \u201cChristmas Tree\u201d during the Christmas\u2026 and what we\u2019ve done today: Carving a pumpkin during the Halloween season.<\/p>\n

\nAlthough some people may say that it seems a little bit early to talk about Halloween, but I can have a feeling of \u201cHalloween is coming\u201d since September. The Halloween decoration things selling in the supermarket, and my neighborhood\u2019s decoration at their front gate all proving us a strong festival atmosphere. \u201cIt\u2019s time to start my way to start the Halloween celebration.\u201d I think, so on September 25th, a lovely Saturday in the fall season at North Carolina, we been to our teacher- Deb\u2019s house to have an experience of carving pumpkins and do some cooking we skilled in to share with others.<\/p>\n

\nDeb and her husband having us warmly at their house, although it\u2019s our first time been here, we have a feeling of being at home. At the backyard, we have had barbecue, along with the meals we cooked by ourselves. It\u2019s interesting to meet new friends from UNCG, we all feel really full after that because we feel like we are \u201ccontinuously eating\u201d and the meals we cooked are all really delicious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
