Halloween


Yes I know it's late!

People in Japan don't celebrate Halloween besides the odd party. I however had fun! I helped Mayumi set up and tried to help with some activities. The kids were very cute and most of them did their best!

They did performances by age group but some had issues due to being sick for awhile... After the performances we went out trick or treating! (kind of) Mayumi, Tomo and I made 51 bags of candy and I guess she gave them to a local store and the kids went out, lined up and said 'Trick or Treat!' for their candy. You could've guessed that when we went out trick or treating that I was in the spotlight in terms of the most looked at by people.... and I wasn't wearing a costume...

We then went back for some activities. I was supposed to teach kids how to make a cootie catcher but they were more interested in bowling and such so I got to walk around at least. I assigned the awards for best dressed, loudest voice, best pronunciation, etc.

It's funny to see Halloween so commercialized here but no one really does anything... Aw well haha

Till next blog!

PS Yes this one has a picture! :D
