|D Hahaha, sounds funny! But isn't this pray a little bit selfish. Okay, I bet back in old China it was (and still is not even now) no fun to be a woman. ^^;; I'm glad that most countries are a step farther in thoughts, so it's no horror anymore to be a woman.

Slowly kids over here are also going to take over this tradition. -_- No good for my sleep but hey... Somehow it was cute!
:O Oh well, I guess he couldn't do much with kids in costumes. xD Probably you ended up somewhere in TV without knowing?

Yes, it is selfish, but I think that human beings are essentially selfishね. I'll post more interesting parts of this novel; I have to read 11 chapters (200 pages) by Friday. X_______________X

Walpurgis Night is supposed to be full of witchcraft and bonfires, but now it's become such a belittled event of dressing up in costumes. Still, I think it's cute. And I hope we didn't end up on TV. :O
