Halloween

You and your electric Buzz Lantern

Giant floor lantern - there were lots of them

Rather than taking the lantern out at the Chinese mooncake lantern festival, we went to a Lantern festival for Halloween.  It was the first that we have ever been to.  If it was not for you, we would not have gone as it was raining quite heavily an hour before, and it was in Sefton Park (hence likely some muddy paths).  However, it was worth it as we've never seen anything like this - giant mobile paper lanterns in all shapes and sizes.  The parade ended with an 'art display', which was very similar to the 'Wayang Kulit'.  After this experience, Wellington boots are definitely on my shopping list as our shoes and socks were soaked through at the end.  I can't believe we've never owned a pair of them after 10 years in this rainy UK weather :)

We also went for the fireworks display for Guy Fawkes.  All these outdoor, cold activities, and at night, only for you.
