Tricks or Treats
November 2, 2008Halloween 2008 is in the bag and it seemed from all involved that it was a success. Unfortunately I was not able to make the rounds with the kids as it amounted to too much walking. Instead the Ayi and Alice took the boys along with about 40 other kids to the neighbourhoods around our neck of the woods. I stayed at home and gave out candy.
A big thanks to Craig and Kristen E. for organizing the event!
For those not aware Halloween is purely a western holiday that is not celebrated in China. It took plenty of explaining to the locals why there were a pack of 40 foreign children wearing strange garb wandering in their midst. Most of the locals were very curious about our jack-o-lanterns as we put some out on the front steps of the building. They were very curious why we put candles in them.
The pics.
