Halloween Yokosuka style

Fair warning would have been nice.....the base allows people to sponsor up to 10 Japanese people on to trick or treat. This is a fantastic idea except it makes for an additional 5,000ish people on base and the need for much more candy. We kept sending the kids out to trick or treat and then we would recycle their candy into our bowls. We bought 600 pieces of candy and recycled another 600 probably before running out. I know our neighbor had over 2000 pieces and ran out. But the important thing is that everyone had a blast.

By the end of the night we had Matt wearing a mask and hiding around the corner from our front door. We would give him the signal of "That's the most awesome costume I've ever seen" when a big kid came up. He would jump out and scare them to death. Hilarious. The Japanese kids especially seemed to love it but it's all such a new concept to them. No one was expecting it at all.
