Xiaoqing: Halloween is coming! Do Taiwanese celebrate Halloween?
Xiaohua: Only kids celebrate Halloween, adults don’t really celebrate it.
Xiaoqing: Why is that?
Xiaohua: I think it’s because Taiwan already has Ghost Month and the Hungry Ghost Festival, so Halloween is mostly for kids. Plus, kids can dress up and go trick-or-treating, they really enjoy it.
Xiaoqing: Have you prepared candy for the kids?
Xiaohua: I not only prepared candy, I also prepared a zombie costume.
Xiaoqing: But I thought you don’t celebrate Halloween?
Xiaohua: I’ll dress up in my zombie costume and wait for the kids to come and scare them! Hahaha!
