        <description><![CDATA[In the northwest of China it seems some people are vaguely aware of Halloween but no one celebrates it or knows much of anything about it. But me and some other American teachers will introduce some students to the fun of a Halloween (万圣节 wànshèngjié) party tonight; I'm a devil (魔鬼 móguǐ), my friend is a witch (女巫 nǚwū) and another friend is a vampire (吸血鬼 xīxiěguǐ). I like the word vampire in Chinese; "suck-blood-ghost".]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Same up here in the NE.  Some people know about it, but it's not celebrated like it is back home.

What about those of you in the big cities?  Any kids trick-or-treating?  Is CPod having a dress-up day today?  If so, who's dressed as what?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Cologne Halloween is a rather new import; I saw it here the first times just a couple years ago. 

But it is embraced tightly by the Kölsch population because it is an awsome excuse to celebrate yet another carnival party with cologne beer, singing and dressing up (next to the actual carnival weeks, Sylvester, Christopher street day, marathon, Christmas,...). 

Always amazing to watch for someone who is not a 100% native.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dutch people are a bit too "nuchter" to share in those US party's.
Basic schools promote the habits, but parents are not too enthusiatic yet, and kids are easily scared. With Santa and X-mas and St Maarten(nov 11th) there are feasts enough.
Good lesson anyway. You'r getting better. Keep up the high
standard. I promote CP everywhere !
