Halloween!

Well, it was Halloween a while ago, right?

In China, there is no Halloween normally.
That's kinda sad to hear.
But not in all places.
At the Xing Hai Guo Bao (星海国宝), my apartment building, there are many people from foreign countries like Singapore, Japan, and Sweden, and at Halloween night, they all get together for a party.
My school, the Dalian Maple Leaf Foreign Nationals School, is practically the same as an average Canadian public school, and of course, they have a special Halloween day where you can dress up in costumes, and bring candy to share. It was really cool and fun.
After school on Halloween day, I rode the school bus home, and quickly changed clothes and had a snack, and I was down at the main lobby and spa at about 4:30 pm. Unfortunately, I didn't really like my costume from last year, so this year, I dropped the costume thing. I went down in normal clothes and a thick jacket, and we set off for trick-or-treating at around 4:40 pm. We only got to trick-or-treat at some of the houses that were participating, and they were all in the four apartment buildings that are in our complex.
In my group, the kids were crazy and uncontrollable, and they screamed and ran where ever they went. Hearing them scream their heads off was torture, but I continued on because I wanted the candy.
Well, the crazy kids never calmed down, even at the end, but at least I came back with a basket full of candy. Sigh.
But anyway, it was better than I predicted. I thought that when I got to China, Halloween would be over for me. But I was wrong, and I'm happy about it, because then I can still mooch the candies like I use to.

How was your Halloween like?
Send me that in the comments! :-)

Wishing you a good day in my paradise,
