Ghost in Taiwan


Taiwan Ghost Month

It's not quite like Halloween in the U.S where we get all dressed up and have a great time. Ghost month here is Taiwan is quite different. All over the streets, u can see people setting big fire pits burning paper money to the ghosts, aka "Good Brothers". Its truly a spectacle to see, people worshiping with food stuffs ranging from instant noodles, chips, cookies, beers, and lots of paper money.

Why do Chinese people have such strange concepts towards the afterlife.
I find that there is a strange obsession for them to give (burn) things made out of paper. I've seen paper made stuff to look like money, houses, cars, mobile phones, and even paper man and paper woman.

I say when I'm dead, I really hope I don't have to worry about money or food or any other material things.

But just in case, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ...

Burn Me a:
Huge house, housekeepers, Mercedes SLR, Big screen TV, Plane, Yacht, lots of GF's and of course MONEY $$$...
