Halloween in Taiwan 台灣的萬聖節

Ping's parents took us out to dinner to celebrate Double Ten with her older brother Terence last night. There's a nice Japanese restaurant right next to their place in Zhuwei. We took the bus to the MRT which drops us off right across the street.

This pumpkin is an example of how Taiwanese celebrate Halloween.

It says: "Attract fortune, enter treasure." They put it in front of the door to the restaurant.

How interesting to contrast this with the phrase "Trick or Treat!"

And here's our Halloween treat! Mark "zinged" himself pretty well with the wasabi--and loved it!

Baba, xie xie! ("Thanks, Dad!")
