Happy Halloween.  It's a holidy not much celebrated in Japan outside of foriegners.  However, I went to my host family's house.  There were about 20 kids when I got there, and they loved the horse face, what can I say? After an awesome dinner, we went out trick or treating at about 10 houses in the neighborhood.  My host mother Kinuko organized the whole thing. It was a great time, and I actually got to get some candy.  I was going to hit up an adult halloween party afterwards, but I was out to 8am the previous evening so I was a little kicked. The horse face, well let me tell you. I picked that up in Osaka when I was there a few weeks ago.  What is interesting was that for dinner, I ate some basashi, which is Kumamoto's local delicacy.  It of couse, is uncooked horse meat dipped in soy sauce with ginger or wasabi.  Very tasty, but a little difficult to get through the mouth of the horse mask...
The scariest pat of my costume, which you can't really see in the picture, is my Vancouver, Canada T-shirt. Now that is horrific. AHHH~!
