Could someone perhaps explain this Halloween festival to me? The shops appear to have been taken over by people in strange badly-made costumes (including a few who are appearing to be those zombie creatures from last week, which is in extremely bad taste if you ask me) and everywhere is decorated in cartoon monsters of some sort. I've been trying to think if we have some sort of corresponding festival back home, but if there is, I am unaware of it.
Actually, now that I think on it, is that why the gentleman who had his picture sent to my communications device has pink hair? Is it related to this Halloween?
