Why did they call it candy?

Our very first Halloween in London and thrilled that the American tradition thrives here too.

After telling the mini vampire to take whatever candy he wants from the basket, I hear him turn to his mum as they walk away and say “why did they call it “candy”?!

Ha!

Sweeties it is.

I’m going to nail this new language if it kills me!

    Huānyíng & Welcome

    Huānyíng & Welcome
    Now living in my 6th country, and having been an expat for 25 years, I have spent a lot of time thinking about what in the world I am doing here - wherever the "here" may be.


    As we move countries and into ever more multi-cultural environments, it can be helpful to exchange ideas with like-minded people, and explore what in the world we are doing.


    If you'd like to learn more about how I can help you be more effective in your multi-cultural work environment, or support you in assimilating in a new country, please email me at helen@bannigan.com or contact me via www.bannigan.com.
