Halloween Decorations

p.s.
This is the big decorations I mentioned below. It has lights inside that can be turned on at night time. In this year, this was one and the only one I saw.



I guess this year the oil price is really too high that increase the cost of living which the people would try not to spend too much on decorations ! I hardly see any big Halloween decorations like air-inflated big white ghost or big pumpkin (with lights inside). In past years, there are some pumpkin patches selling wide variety of pumpkins in big parking lots or some open area. This year I can't see anymore. In the past, I would purchase one/two pumpkins and put on the porch but no more for this year.

The pictures above was taken by me when I was driving in the area which I lived. There isn't any decoration competition in this community anymore otherwise it will be more eyecatching. The people here normally would start decorating very early (in early October). Some year, my opposite neighbor had decorated the front yard similar to the picture no. 5. They even would change the flowers they planted in yard as well. Mostly, they would choose flowers in orange like African Marigold. If you were the judge on the decorations appeared in the pictures above, which one would you pick as the champion ?

Ghost appeared in my Kitty's home !



I checked my blog last night and found that there are some pumpkin decorations in my Kitty's home. At first, I didn't pay attention to them but suddenly I saw those pumpkins had happy faces then a ghost appeared ! but it's only a happy face ghost not so scary at all. It looks like Halloween is also getting so popular in Japan nowadays. All the others little pets' games have their own Halloween decorations now. In real life, there are a lot of my neighbors have put up their special decorations already. Let me go out today to take some pictures and upload them here for you guys to see tomorrow.

Barvillage Registration - Please help me.



Barvillage has sent me a registration letter but I have tried to register for quite some times already but still couldn't do it successfully. May I ask if there is anyone that kind enough to help me in completing this process ?(name it whatever name you can, please !). I have tried to type Chinese, Japanese, English, full font, half font but it's still not accepted. I just want to say thank you to those of you help in this. Thank you very much.

P.S.



I finally found out from ToMaTo which she taught us that we have to use Applocate change Explorer to Japanese and then type the full font English or Japanese name which could be accepted by the system. Then, new problem came up in the process of signing-in after I have selected the appearance of the charactor and house. This Barvillage is really so difficult to play !!!
