Walking around Lexington on Friday, October 29, I found a small childrens parade going on from one of the local schools. Children were dressed in vivid costumes and looking like they were having a blast.

Watching the NYC Marathon for a couple of hours was really interesting. It was obvious that all of the runners put a lot of effort into the marathon and were very motivated to finish. As for the fans, the same was shown from them. There was a lot of cheering and fans supporting the runners, even if they didn’t know someone who was running in the marathon. Those who knew someone made signs, and had flags. There was a variety of people watching, including people from Japan and France who proudly showed their pride. The same with the runners, a few to mention who wore shirts from their homeland were France, Australia, Italy and of course USA. It was amazing to see the whole world come together for such an exciting event.

Trick or treating on Halloween, I came across this scene. A group of kids and a few adults got into a fight in Staten Island’s South Shore. Speaking to someone there, someone began throwing candy or eggs and a racial epithet was shouted, resulting in the fight.
