Late Halloween Post



Halloween here is so much fun. Last year, I was working during that night so I didn't enjoy the craziness. But this year I know why the news say that Halloween consumption is only second to Christmas.

I was Cleopatra!!!

Halloween here sometimes made me feel that people are mocking the death...which is definitely a good sign in China. We have certain days that the underground spirits come out for some fresh air... Party, big no! We are still in tribe level. We bring the sacrifice to calm the anger and bribe some peace...



Look familiar? You are right, that is the bribe... the money in the second photo values 1 million under earth... impressive!

Money is not the only sacrifice, people are creative and considerate concerning the families' spirits

Besides the living necessity house, car, clothing, even certain special pharmacy product, mistress, in a odd way it reflects the society's twisted greed towards wealth, sex and other taboo... They burn all those sacrifice in front of their graves or the street corner. There is nothing fun, just dirt and creepy wind...
