Halloween

Sorry this post is so late …

Some places celebrate Halloween here. Not a lot, but a few.

Adelaide, Henry, and I went trick or treating with some friends. It was fun, but a little different than the US.

One big difference was that people are more laid back. For example, Adelaide (age 8) ran off with the friends. They trick or treated away from us most of the night. I immediately panicked. She can’t be alone for Halloween, let alone in a foreign country! My friend was completely unconcerned. “They know where the car is parked.”

As another example, a lot of people gave out home made cookies or punch. Others gave out cookies from a package that weren’t individually wrapped. No one was bothered by this. In the US, parents would be throwing a fit!
