Happy Halloween!
Do you believe in ghosts? The Ancient Celts believed that ghosts came back to this world on Halloween. They wore scary costumes to hide from the ghosts.
Recently, this car ad was pulled off the air in Europe. Viewers said they could see a ghostly face reflected in the car’s window.
Look carefully! Can you see it?

We found him!On Monday, a friend sent me a link to this very strange photo of a bunch of zombies in Sydney...

I Shaved my Wife!
In my last entry (The Halloween Countdown Continues), I included a link to a video of our 1999 Halloween costume - Dr. Evil & Mini Me from the Austin Powers movies. Most people assume that Mayumi wore a bald wig for that costume. WRONG! She actually shaved her head...
It was her idea! Honestly!!!

It was her idea! Honestly!!!Her nick-name was Ikkyu San for the next couple of weeks...

The Japanese media usually refers to anyone with a shaved head as "Skinhead." In English, Skinhead usually refers to members of neo-Nazi groups. Mayumi is definitely not a neo-Nazi! "Shaven-headed" is a better term to use. For example, Bruce Willis is a popular shaven-headed actor.
By the way, the Halloween countdown continues! Go to モカモカのブログ for the latest updates in photos & videos.

She decided to write about them on her Mocha Mocha Blog (モカモカのブログ). Read her first entry here: Getting Ready for Halloween. Read the rest of her countdown at the following links...

Insane!
Every Month, we hold a Service Lesson for students who have missed their regular classes. At the last Service Lesson, we played the Be & Me English-practice version of Snakes & Ladders, a popular board game in Western countries. One of the more difficult vocabulary cards in that game is "sane." Sane is the opposite of crazy. Another way to say crazy is "insane." For example...
This is an INSANE thing to do!
