They do have pumpkins (called "southern mellons") here in china but we couldn't find any, I suggested we buy watermellons ("western mellons") instead and they seem to have worked out great. They are easy to carve, and when lit from within the red interior gives them an even creepier red glow.
Oh, just a few hundred Chinese students trick-or-treating at my dorm room. No the Chinese don't usually celebrate Halloween, but my three friends who are english teachers here were hosting a Halloween party for their students, who really got into it.
Before the festivities started up all 200-300 costumed chinese students loitered around the outside of the teacher's apartments.
So many kids, and they all want candy.
I am dressed as doremon, a pan-asian cartoon character, he is a sort of blue magical cat, who flies.

That sure is a lot of trick-or-treaters!
Maybe we'll try carving a watermelon next year.
