The First Halloween!

I experienced this Halloween twice. This Halloween was the first time for me.

The first Halloween was at Commons last Thursday. I was Little Red Riding Hood. I took a long time to memorize the name... It's a long name! It means AKAZUKIN in Japanese.

Anyway, I had never gone to a Halloween party, so I was very excited!

Attendees costumes were really nice. I wanted to be more gorgeous like them.

One group members were zombies and they danced with Thriller song. It was great!!! I wanted to give them a prize! They really looked like Zombies.

I really enjoyed the party.

The second one was with Yoshimi, my host mother, her children and her brother's family.

I wore a Pikachu costume because it's popular for children.

Although I went to trick or treat with them, Yoshimi and I didn't join them. We just watched with their parents. We thought Halloween was only for children and we were too old!!

That's why we couldn't get candies and chocolates. After that, the children shared their chocolates with us.

Recently, we don't know about our neighborhoods very well. I thought Halloween was a good opportunity to communicate with them.

However, I was surprised and a little shocked on this Halloween.

Their parents started checking their candies. At first, I didn't understand.

Then my parents told us the reason that someone put bad things into children's candies before, so checking them was a very imortant job for them.

I understood parents also was important for their children.

They were very kind and also their parents were kind and polite.

My host mother often said be nice and share with Yuko and Yoshimi and often talked to us. She was a good mother.

Anyway, I enjoyed this Halloween heartily! However, I was shocked! When I came back to my house, my group member also went to trick or treat and got many many chocolates and candies.

If I can go to trick or treat again, I will try to get them!!
