I went dressed as Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus. I was afraid that no one would recognize the American cartoon, but I met a woman from Poland who said she used to watch the show with Polish voice overs when she was a kid.
I read an article about how people are working in Germany to reduce light pollution and promote dark skies. This surprised me because, especially compared to NYC, the street lights in Berlin are kept very low and the city gets quite dark at night.
My friend is a nanny to three children and I visited their house the night that they were celebrating Halloween. The kids were watching Halloween movies and my friend and I took turns pretending to be Halloween spirits and delivering candy to them.
I learned that Germans started celebrating Halloween about 20 years ago when getting dressed up and going trick-or-treating became popular as an imported American tradition.
