   #halloween

   A question for non-Americans:

   Is Halloween celebrated in your society? How? How about Day of the Dead?

   I had a friend who treats me as an encyclopedia ask me about this and I didnae really know the answer. I'm under the impression that the former Spanish colonies generally do some kind of Dios los Muertos and the Western world imported American Halloween sometime in the past couple generations, but I have no hard facts.

   Thanks in advance for anyone willing to share. Boosts appreciated.
