So, I've noticed that there's some decorations that remind me of Halloween back home. Now, I only recently got here so I'm not sure but. I figured I should check what holidays, and other celebrations there are here. Just to try to be prepared?

Feel free to tell me about other celebrations back from your home too, I guess. Just curious.

yeah halloween seems to be one of those holidays that everyone celebrates no matter where you go

as for something from home

setsubuns always been really popular

I don't want to assume that everyone knows about things, with people being from all over and different times.

Setsubuns?

thats fair yeah
just saying that everywhere ive gone so far a lot of people seem to have some idea of what it is or heard about it

yeah setsubun! you can think of it like celebrating the coming of spring. it can vary around japan but the idea is to drive away evil and welcome in the new year

I guess places might have their own sort of version that might be at least similar or something. Yeah.

I'm just assuming this place probably has it's calendar and stuff but I figured to check about others. Could be interesting, could celebrate ourselves. Like this setsubun. Back home there's Lunar New Year which I guess is similar in being at a different time of year than the 31st Dec/1st of Jan. Usually around February or so.

oh yeah that sounds like setsubun to me! usually its around the beginning of february now and most people tend to do things like throw beans around their homes to chase off evil spirits.

sound familiar?

Less sure on the beans but yeah. The timing sounds about right. Each year usually celebrates a different animal. I think it's a bigger thing around Asia but we celebrate in America too.
