Shopper's paradise
Just went shopping for Qing ming with my dad earlier. Qing Ming is like a period for Chinese to pay their respects for the deceased. That's when you see people burning lots of paper money, houses, and clothes as a way to "send" these items to our family members in the nether world. So there I was with my dad, choosing the clothes, shoes and even accessories. Spotted: "luxury" items like bird's nest, and even abalone were seen! Besides the "in" items like PDA, credit cards, and the normal Rolex watches lol. There were so many other items to include for each "personal" package. Hell money now comes in many forms, even in US dollars! Yes that's right. Guess my dad is trying to get me to learn more about this tradition. Funny how all this beautiful paper sculpture will be burnt, but hopefully its for the good ;)
