　　I visited New York City with my family in 2009 and joined the city’s annual Halloween Parade down the 6th Avenue. It was quite a spectacle. People got all gussied up for the spookiest of the holidays. In fact, there were two ways one can enjoy the event, either as a participant or as an onlooker. If you dressed up in a costume, you can participate in the parade and march down the route. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any costume, I could only watch. As an onlooker, I stood among the packed crowd behind the policebarricades. Some eager fellow on-lookers climbed up trees for a better view. A few even jumped over the barricades when the police turned round. Creepy ghouls and giantpuppets were marching down the street and everyone was cheering. It was so fun and we enjoyed a great deal. Looking back, among all other public events that I went to, this one lt the deepest impression. I think the reasons are two folds. One, we did not have this kind of festivity here in China. It felt so strange to a Chinese guy to watch people dressed as corpses and monsters and even toilets and at the same time enjoy themselves. To the more conservative Chinese minds, the party seemed to be the greatest "cultural shock". Second, I was amazed by the creative designs of the costume. I also felt the worry-free fun and happiness from the people all around me. I will never forget the New Yorkers’ creativity and the “in the moment” attitude. Maybe this is why New York City is so great.
