As I said earlier in Australia when I was growing up we never did anything for Halloween. Few places other than the US seem to make much of a deal of it as far as I can tell. Anyway yesterday was the first time I've ever been trick or treating and our daughter certainly had some fun. We were given a map of the places that were participating and did a circuit around the little ski village which included a haunted house in which many a kid came through screaming and crying their heads off! My little girl is a bit young to be all that scared of anything yet so she was fine. There were a few games for the kids and then we all had dinner. Pretty good fun all round.

I currently live in a smaller town area of Tokyo, but there's a pretty high concentration of gaijin so the Japanese are used to us frequenting/living in the area. Because of this, they're more open to some western ideals including Halloween. There is a woman in the area who is organizing a get together with all of the Japanese children in town to let them "trick or treat" American style at all of the local stores so they can be exposed so some of the holiday spirit. Myself and two friends were asked to take photos of the event since we have experience with photography. That's how I'm going to spend the first part of Halloween. The second part will probably be at a club in Shibuya.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.

I am much too old to do Trick or Treat thing, but I ALWAYS celebrate Halloween, and always will. When I was a kid in England we had Halloween on base, because the Brits didn't celebrate it back then, but Guy Fawkes the next week was much more fun anyway.

This year some Korean friends are hosting a party and costume contest at their bar, so I will be in full regalia - of some sort. The costume has been through 3 major revisions and there are still 11 days to go. 1st was an aged Wonder Woman (we looked alike 30 years ago, but unfortunately not now). 2nd was a rather elegant victorian witch (sort of steam punk though). Now its more of a modern, slightly fashionable witch with a touch of S/M-leather.

Who knows what it will be by next week!


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.

I always celebrate on Halloween day, but not because of the american meaning, just because it's my Birthday.

Partying. Kind of hard to trick or treat at age 20, and classic fancy parties have too many middle-aged adults.

I might be going with something simple, being frugal bigtime, now. >.<


There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.
