Today is Halloween and it reminds me of the USA. Two years ago I was in NY and I was a bit desperate because I did not know what to do about this inofficial holiday. I was afraid that kids could come to my home demanding sweets (trick or treat). Thus, I asked my colleagues if the kids would really come (since I lived in Harlem) and what to do if so. Nobody could give me advice how to handle the situation. I guess this is something every foreigner in the USA has to go through once. I decided to buy some sweets on the way home, just in case. However, that evening (it was a Wednesday) I stayed in the office, working little longer and went home around 8pm. I stopped by the grocery store and bought some chocolate. It was rather hard to decide which one to buy. I wanted something not too unhealthy, it should be something that I also like (just in case), and finally it should not be too expensive. After figuring out, I came home around 9pm and waiting for some time, it turned out that not a single kid showed up (I don’t remember if I kept the lights turned off in order not to attract much attention). Finally, I ended up eating the chocolate my self.
