All Hallows' Eve
It’s Halloween, my favourite day of the year. They have few skeletons, ghosts and pumpkins here and there, and there is a rather impressive haunted house set up at Times Square, but all in all I wouldn’t say that Hong Kong has the same exuberance about this pagan holiday as we do in Canada. No one is dressed up at work and I didn’t see any freaks on the streets this morning. Maybe tonight will be more lively though.
