On Halloween

Today was Halloween, and my internet research proved to be true. Fireworks are very very common. I didn't get to see any bonfires, but we could hear and see fireworks going off every couple of minutes throughout town pretty much from when the sun went down (5ish) to when everyone went out clubbing (12-1ish). Costumes here are pretty much the same: girls wear as slutty as possibly outfits - nurses, sailors, cats, etc. - and guys cross dress or wear obscene outfits. So pretty much America plus fireworks! Though the costumes didn't start coming out till after sunset, whereas at home there are the people that wear them all day.
