In middle Europe they have these lovely traditions that people really decorate their houses. They can also decorate their trees in their yards. Really beautiful.

I think that the best part is when these little witches (children all dressed up) go trick-or-treating at people’s front doors with their decorated willow branches. They are so cute! You really don’t have to go further than your very own doorstep to experience Easter.

I have been in so many different countries at Easter time, but I have to say that I like it how it is in here! But that Ayacucho sounds really interesting and attractive…

I'd really want to see those things that Tilkkuliini mentioned! But those little witches are also very lovely!
