What do you get in your trick or treat bag? And how do you say that in Chinese? :-) Are you getting any election coverage in China?

They hand out pseudo candy here! It looks like candy or pastries, but they usually taste like veggies or bean paste!

I just know that I say "chez-chez" like the french "chez" when they give me something for "thank you!" My vocab is limited, Kirst's is much betterer.

We did get a lot of election coverage here and we are both happy with the results.
