We're fenced in

As I got up in the morning to go to the rowing session at 6:15 am, I was confronted with a new obstacle: THE fence around San Clemente, the apartment complex in which the graduate students live. It's about 2.00 m high and very long (it's basically surrounding all houses, so maybe up to 2 km).

The reason is, that we've got less than 100 h left to count down for Halloween! We are told to "keep it safe, keep it local". (We are told not to freak out, but somehow this fence and many, many police officers from all over the US make me a tiny little bit nervous...)

There's a video how to keep it safe and local:

In Germany, there was a wall, but now, here's a fence.
