Pictured are some chocolate biscuit snacks. The first one is a mushroom, the second a "homerun". They are both tasty and can be bought heavily overpackaged at any convenience store.

Speaking of treats, Hallowe'en is just around the corner. It's not a big deal here, but we have seen toy shops stocked up with masks and decorations, so it's either catching on or they are catering entirely to the foreigners.

We don't have plans yet, but I sure do hope that we find some costumed silliness this Friday. Fingers crossed...
