Happy Halloween everybody! People celebrate Halloween differently all over the world, and our travelers know how to do it in style wherever they are.

Here is a cute story from Zolab. He’s traveling with his family in Japan, celebrating Halloween with karaoke and pachinko.

Trick or treat in Tokyo

Tonight we went trick-or-treating with Meredith and Isa.  It was weird to not be in New Jersey with my friends and I was kind of sad for a while.  But then I started collecting candy and it was okay.  I like to hang out with Meredith and Isa a lot.  There were lots of kids on the streets in all kinds of costumes, but none of them were too scary.  I got a lot of candy and am about to fall asleep now before I count it.  Tomorrow we are going to spend the night at their house – that will be fun!

The Halloween decorations at Disneyland Paris have been up for a while. CDspring enjoyed them on Wednesday in France.

Halloween at Disneyland Paris

While the US versions have kinda gotten stuck on Nightmare Before Christmas, this park had tons of “Pumpkin People” statues and displays through out the park.  They even had pumpkin people in their shows.  When we arrived, there was a multi-language Villians show going on in the main plaza which was very cool (Diana was loving it).  There were a bunch of pumpkin people in the show that looked very creepy but cool looking.  I told Diana that if the color scheme of the displays were “red”, it would be quite disgusting.  However, the orange made it feel like pumpkin juice and not blood.

Bambbles is an English teacher, working in Chengdu, China. She brought her whole class to McDonald’s and had a Halloween party at McDonald’s. The photos are really cute, and everyone learned how to say “black cat” and “Happy Halloween”.

I got all dressed up as one of their new vocab words (black cat) and biked over to McDonald’s, where they were having the party. I think I had a few people look at me like “what is she wearing, crazy foreigner!” and may have caused a couple others to almost crash their bikes.
