A day for roads, crosswalks, signals, ferry landings, station platforms, and the care people owe one another in motion.
Canadian Halloween is American Halloween with colder weather. The costumes are the same but the coats go over them. The little ninja who spent an hour on his mask is now a ninja in a parka and nobody can tell who he is. The pillowcase full of candy will last until November 10. The candy tax levied by parents is real and it is not optional.
The night when the spiritual world feels closest. Kindoki, the Lingala word for witchcraft, is not just superstition in Congo. It is a living belief system, a way of explaining the unexplainable, a framework for understanding power. Tonight, the churches hold all-night prayers and the traditional healers prepare their strongest protections.
A day for the entrance that tells visitors someone cares about this place.
A practical celebration of the list that saves the day, even when one item is remembered only after reaching the door.
You encounter the distinctive Macanese fauna featuring pangolins, civets, and flying foxes that inhabit the region's remaining natural spaces.
