So Halloween in Japan is bigger than I thought it would be, at least in my area. I don't believe trick or treating is something people do here, but a lot of people throw parties or clubs have special Halloween nights. Shops usually have little halloween decorations up, and there are lot of pumpkin flavored candies and things at stores.

Ritsumeikan throws a halloween party every year. It's 1000 yen for exchange students if you buy a ticket before the party, and you have to come in costume.
Originally I wanted to go, because I love getting in costume, most people at I-House are going, and I figured it would be a good night to cut loose a little.

However, now that I think about it, I don't know how interested I am in going. I love Halloween and most years I've done something to celebrate it, but the basic premise of this party is drinking and dancing, like a night club. It's not really my scene. Honestly, I would much rather eat Halloween candy and watch movies like Hocus Pocus and The Corpse Bride that night.

I'm not interested in drinking. Even though it's legal for me to do so here, I don't care for it. The only drinks I really like are these alcoholic fruit drinks...and even then they have a really low percentage of alcohol in them. I just don't see what all the fuss is.

Haha, I feel like such an old lady, now that I think about it. Talking about how I don't care for drinking and partying...and not to mention that I'm going to a flea market with my friend Steph tomorrow. Living the life, man, living the life.
