Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 27 October 2024

It’s Halloween this week, and we’re going to be dealing with costumes.

But we’re also going to introduce you to the Japanese custom of “mundane Halloween”, for people who want to dress up, but don’t want to go all out in dressing as a zombie or vampire or any of the standard Halloween tropes.

Instead, they dress as very ordinary things.

Any mundane Halloween costumes will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
