So this is my first Halloween in Canada and I was super nervous about having to deal with trick or treat people making me answer the door. Except now it’s nearly 8pm and we haven’t had a single one yet and there’s a whole bucket of chocolate sitting by the door waiting. I actually lit up the porch and put a couple of decorations outside because I was getting impatient.
Where are all the adorable children??
I happened to be in Japan for Halloween last year and it was epic. I got free ghost cookies on my pancakes - there was an all out riot at Universal Studios with Thriller zombies and escaped prisoners with chainsaws - There were parades that started from the 25th - and hundreds of people walking around in costume all over Shibuya.
Canada has provided me with two weirdly decorated lawns full of plastic pumpkins. I feel like a should be relieved but instead I’m just disappointed.
