My Halloween (uh, three weeks ago) was fun, and involved a spooky trip to Ocean Park's Halloween Bash (like Knott's Scary Farm, only in Hong Kong). Lots of haunted houses that were much scarier than I expected-- including a "Haunted Chinese Village" that was all tricked-out in Yue Laan Jit (or Hungry Ghost Festival) decorations for extra ghostly verisimilitude (two posts and an article I did last year on YLJ). Here there were park-workers dressed up like Chinese ghosts and "vampires", who were pretty creepy until they started moving-- by hopping. According to Sonia and the other HK-ers, most Chinese ghosts can't walk, only "hop" along. Of course, my camera battery had already shut down by the time we got here. Some other pics:




But HK blogger 24 Hour Party People seems to have had an even better one than mine.
