I love the way Japan embraces other cultures and celebrations. 2 of the biggest Irish festivals every year - St Patrick's Day and Halloween!
Have a great time this year and a big raspberry to the begrudgers :-)

Japan: where they celebrate a day so unrelated from their own culture that they have to start early and people are gathering in shibuya in cosplay days before. It's not about being spooky, it's 'look at my boobs'.
Is this because of the stockholm syndrome japanese have with the us?
Been to shibuya on halloween two times, no more will I force my way through such an ocean of people.

"sexy nun costume"
I'm not sure I want to see that. Sexy nurse costume maybe, haha
" groups of grown men dressed as schoolgirls"
I definitely don't want to see that.
I have to admit I kinda like the Godzilla masks, haha, lol
