Happy Halloween!

While I do not have the culture of celebrating Halloween in my home country, it seems like quite a popular festival here in Japan, that is, for its commercial value! All kinds of Halloween-themed merchandises can be found on the shelves of stores during the month of October. And in MaxValu, one of the many supermarkets in Shinjo, they even had this...

A Gigantic Pumpkin!!!

with a little "Guess how much it weighs?" contest for shoppers
I didn't take part in the contest nor did I bother to find out exactly how many kilograms that monsterous pumpkin was. All I know is that when I returned 2 weeks later, it was replaced with this...

A smaller but nicely carved pumpkin!

Anyway, since we are in the Halloween mood, here's a video of...

Watching this video reminded me so much of my Hong Kong trip with ping around this time last year. And it seems like the Disneyland Halloween highlight of a mega Jack Skellington sitting on pumpkin is still the same.

And once again,

Happy Halloween!
