Well, some stores do carry a few masks, but I've noticed that the big stores seem to ignore it. Though I do recall having seen some Halloween themed sweets in one last year but there's no trace of them this year >.<.

It's mostly just highschoolers who "celebrate" Halloween here since it's pretty new and schools (at least when I was at school) like to organise masquerade parties :3. A few students even come with costumes to school xD.

I guess the Halloween still needs some time to "take root" over here :3.

@Poggio: Well, it does make sense to have everything (or most of it) on display early, and I think it's rather considerate towards the customers as well since they'll know what they can expect (more or less) for the holidays. It's nice to be able to inform yourself early :3.

I don't like saying where I live but you're free to guess xD.
