Halloween (10/31)

Believe it or not, they celebrate Halloween here too. But not nearly as much. Some people take flowers to the cemetery, and others dress up to trick-or-treat. We live in an apartment building and had three children come to the door. (So now I have all these left over mini-chocolate bars.) But kids here go to any house. They don't care who lives there. And, if you don't give candy or are stingy, they do play tricks. Three children from my class admitted to egging someone house. Another said that he put dog poop in a paper bag and lit it on fire. He rang the door bell and ran. The owner of the house came out and stepped on the bag to put out the fire. Crap! Not nice!!! Halloween here is a bit different. But I did make a jack-o-latern, though. I carved a face into an orange while at school. It's just not the same, is it?
