When we told the kids we were going to come to Chile for three months, Jacob cried about one thing: “We’re going to miss Halloween!” Well, come to find out they do celebrate Halloween in Chile, but it’s not as big as in the US.
We were very lucky to find some cheap masks and just the red Power Ranger costume that Zander wanted being sold on the street. We went to Aventura Center, a Chuck-E-Cheese kind of place, in a big mall in a suburb. Kids in costume got to ride the rides for free, and we played games too. The mall was just like one in the US, but a little nicer. The food court had all the US fast-food chains, but interestingly, the few Chilean fast food joints were getting better business than the US ones.
