It’s Halloween! It’s interesting the different opinions on Halloween here. All anyone really knows is what they’ve seen on US television. We’re constantly being told “how we celebrate Halloween in the US.” They’re also quick to say they don’t celebrate the holiday, but a lot of people dress up in costumes and attend parties?

Judy’s school has and elementary party early in the day, and the students are all dressed up in costumes. The secondary school has a dance/party after school, also with lots of costumes.

Judy – getting into the spirit!

Over at my school, the parents have been decorating, and have a built a haunted house (in the music room). The activities begin at 6:00 pm. I would like to attend, but I’m not up to staying around all afternoon without any classes.

Some of the decorations over at BHSFIC.

Back at the apartment, little kids are wearing costumes everywhere. Their parents are taking lots of pictures, and people are handing out candy to those that walk by. Lilly has lots of questions about Halloween that I try to answer. I think she understood enough. The Chinese don’t have a lot of holidays, especially fun ones like Halloween (even if it’s little more than a date on a calendar).
