'Little' Jacob, Cameron, 'Big' Jacob and Isabel

Halloween in the UK is one of those things where most people go 'Oh no, trick or treat - it's so American!' And they're right. So when a lady here at Bangkok Garden handed me a piece of paper with detailed plans for Halloween I thought 'Oh no, trick or treat - it's so American!'

So on Thursday we went to Central shopping centre and bought some masks and stuff, as well as some treats.

On Friday we set out with 'Little' Jacob from Isabel's class and Cameron from Jacob's class, and with a list of apartments to go to. It didn't take long before the kids had so many sweets in their bucket that we had to go back to our apartment to drop some off. Everyone that we visited was very generous and the all the kids had great fun, although they were all tired out by the end of the evening.

Trick or treat is still so American, but the children enjoying themselves is the important thing.
