Qingqing: Huahua, I’m going to Kinmen in a couple of days. Is there any local specialty you’d like me to bring back?
Huahua: Didn’t you just go there during the summer vacation? Why are you going to Kinmen again?
Qingqing: This time it’s different. I’ll be going to their Halloween event.
Huahua: Huh? Halloween in Kinmen? That sounds interesting.
Qingqing: I saw online that last year they had a fancy dress carnival, which was very popular, so this year I’m going as a pilgrim.
Huahua: I knew Kinmen has historic battle sites, but I didn’t expect there would also be interesting events.
Qingqing: If you’re interested, why not join me in dressing up? Book the tickets now; there should still be some seats available.
Huahua: Haha! Then I need to think about what wacky costume I should wear.
