Today the Information Society and Media Intranet (internal web site of DG INFSO) put on a Halloween look and there was a link to a slide show of Jack O’Lantern’s pictures taking a journey to meet his friend (Director General) by visiting and sneaking into various sites of our buildings.

The pictures made everyone’s morning delightful and I regret that, because of inaccessibility to the Intranet site from outside, I cannot share the slide show here.

I heard from many local people that in Belgium it is widely considered that Halloween is merely a commercial occasion. However, belonging to a rather still (!) young and international group, I see this is one of the big party themes most of us go for. Not many of us have said they were seriously thinking of dressing up, though. Major reasons were: 1) they were not really enthusiastic about putting on costumes or make-up; 2) they didn’t want to spend money on buying something worthless. As I was not really up for dressing up either but more for partying, based on the opinions expressed by my peers, I bought the Halloween party ticket this evening.

Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, enjoy the last night of October!
