I was surprised coming home from work to see 2 badly dressed ghosts (my god - that sheet with holes thing is never gong to catch on) wandering down a nearby street. At that pointin time I decided it was time to eat out for the night.
I see some homeowners up in Perth have pressed charges against some kids for vandalising houses. Some traditions just don't transfer all that well to foreign countries I am afraid.

Yeah and that's the thing - it's not a tradition here so hopefully it will never catch on. When I used to read american kids books I always thought it sounded like fun, but it's never been something Aussies have done so the only reason it would become relevant here would be a blatant marketing attempt - which [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] . The only good thing I think might happen if we started Halloweening would be that it would delay the Christmas decorations in the shops until November...
