Halloween in Viet Nam

Yes, like Thanksgiving I am really behind on this too.  My first Halloween in Viet Nam.  I did not initially plan a costume as we assumed it was not a big deal here.

Boy, was I wrong!!!!!!!!!!

My friend Mathew's family organized a big Halloween outing.

First, everyone dropped of candy at their house.  Then Mathew's mother distributed the candy to all the houses participating in the tick or treat.  She produced maps for everyone and we all started from there house and went throughout the neighourhood.

As we had to make a last minute decision we were off to the pharmacy again to make me into a mummy.

The final result.

Taxi ride to the party.

The gathering at Mathew's House.  There were loads of people.

Mathew's House.

Yep, more Mathew's House.

This is the dark alleyway from Mathew's House to the street.

This is Mathew.

People still in and out of the alleyway.

We got to run around with our friends.  The neighbourhood and city are all safe enough that we can just go.  We had a great time.  Once we were all finished we had dinner at The Kitchen, which is the restaurant here.

Hanoi is simply cool.
