00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:08.623 
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, a
series of shops on Hang Ma Street, Hanoi 

00:00:08.623 --> 00:00:12.326 
quickly changed their clothes,
displaying all kinds of accessories and 

00:00:12.326 --> 00:00:16.399 
costumes for Halloween with many bright
colors, attracting many tourists as 

00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:17.880 
well as domestic people. 

00:00:18.526 --> 00:00:23.526 
This is my second time in Hanoi, but the
first time on Halloween. 

00:00:23.526 --> 00:00:26.940 
The decorative items here are very
beautiful and colorful, not 

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:28.306 
inferior to other countries. 

00:00:28.482 --> 00:00:31.420 
I bought myself a toy as a souvenir. 

00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:36.418 
I came here to buy Halloween decorations
for the company. 

00:00:36.858 --> 00:00:41.138 
First of all, I think there seems to be
less creepy stuff in the merchandise this year. 

00:00:41.958 --> 00:00:49.208 
They focus more on fall related items
like pumpkins, ghosts, and spooky things 

00:00:49.208 --> 00:00:51.438 
less than last year. 

00:00:53.018 --> 00:00:58.318 
Regarding the price, I think it is a
little higher than previous years. 

00:00:58.318 --> 00:01:03.258 
Years ago when I bought it I felt it
was much cheaper. 

00:01:03.558 --> 00:01:07.003 
I feel like people are decorating for
Halloween on the streets quite early 

00:01:07.003 --> 00:01:08.858 
this year, it's not even October yet. 

00:01:09.518 --> 00:01:14.816 
But now when I go shopping, I see quite
a few stores decorating 

00:01:14.816 --> 00:01:16.037 
and importing items. 

00:01:16.037 --> 00:01:17.256 
It's Halloween! 

00:01:17.256 --> 00:01:19.736 
It is a festival imported from the West. 

00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:22.196 
Halloween decoration market this year 

00:01:22.196 --> 00:01:23.656 
Predicted by retailers 

00:01:23.656 --> 00:01:26.016 
There will be some change in purchasing power. 

00:01:26.016 --> 00:01:27.176 
Compared to previous years 

00:01:27.176 --> 00:01:28.936 
Due to the impact of recent storms and floods 

00:01:30.211 --> 00:01:32.993 
This year it is likely that people will
cut back on spending so it will 

00:01:32.993 --> 00:01:34.291 
not be as good as last year. 

00:01:34.651 --> 00:01:37.471 
The price is also higher than last year,
the shipping cost is also higher. 

00:01:38.091 --> 00:01:40.031 
But it is certain that the price of the item will also increase. 

00:01:40.231 --> 00:01:44.631 
Just focusing on pumpkins, leafy scenes
and more of a fall theme, not much else. 

00:01:44.751 --> 00:01:49.433 
Because as everyone knows, when there is
a storm or flood, everyone will focus 

00:01:49.433 --> 00:01:50.771 
on doing charity work. 

00:01:50.771 --> 00:01:53.651 
Then it will reduce the cost
for you and your child. 

00:01:53.651 --> 00:01:56.716 
Because everyone has just finished the
storm and flood and the Mid-Autumn 

00:01:56.716 --> 00:01:59.270 
Festival, the current purchase volume
up to now is low. 

00:02:00.370 --> 00:02:03.490 
If it's about price, the current time
when people first buy will 

00:02:03.490 --> 00:02:04.790 
be the most stable price. 

00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:08.896 
And if later on, the quantity of goods
is exhausted and gradually depleted, 

00:02:08.896 --> 00:02:12.370 
then if the purchasing power is greater,
the price will increase. 

00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:15.670 
It's because of market demand. 

00:02:16.803 --> 00:02:21.814 
In just a few days, this street of paper
offerings will become even more bustling 

00:02:21.814 --> 00:02:25.823 
with Halloween colors to welcome a new
costume festival season in 2024.
