HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! How funny! Bathrobes and pajamas are pretty common Halloween costumes here...although students do show up in their pajamas to school during regular days as well...why, I don't know.
Well, it's now Nov. 1st...no more Halloween here. It's now Day of the Dead in Mexico.

LOL I bet. Here, usually if even teenagers are seen trick treating they're really frowned upon. It's viewed as something for younger kids here, if we gave out treats (which we don't simply because hardly anyone is in to it enough to make it worthwhile) we'd be happy just to see an effort made with costumes - sometimes you see kids going around wearing nothing but those kids towels that have a hood on them. That's not a proper costume! LOL!

I got a couple of Reeses' peanut-butter cups, which are awesome. Got a few tootsie rolls, a small bag of kettle corn, and alot of Snickers mini-bars.
Yeah, trick-or-treating for Halloween is a big thing here in the States. It's mainly for the kids, but it's just as fun doing it as an (almost) adult...although you do get alot of raised eyebrows from the candy-givers.

Haha true. Halloween sounds fun - when everyone is in to it I mean. It's not a custom here, it's only started happening over the last few years, and not many people embrace it. I always wanted to do it as a kid, seeing it on tv and movies LOL. Did you get some good treats?

Things are going well. Earlier this evening I went out to do some trick-or-treating with some friends. Then later on I tried to give treats once I was back home, but it seems as though no one likes to go around asking for treats in apartment complexes.
