Halloween coming up

Posted on October 8th, 2004 by Sacha Chua

Looks like people are gearing up for Halloween. I’m looking forward to
seeing the costumes. Fortunately, the 31st is a Sunday. I think I’ll
go to Harajuku. Heck, people cosplay there on _normal_ days.

I was tempted by some of the costumes in the shops, but I don’t think
I’ll be able to justify that expense to myself. I don’t want
to have to find ways to fit a frilly Chi dress into my luggage, no
matter how much my Chobits-loving friends would like to see me in
something like that…
