In Taiwan
I’m in Taipei, Taiwan for my Grandfather’s funeral. I’ll post pics throughout the week on my moblog.
Today we went to place where my Grandfather will be cremated to pay our respects at his “shrine” (see pic above, his spot is the upper right one on the white tiles) and burn fake money so that he will have enough money in heaven. Death is an interesting affair in Taipei. The cremation place is almost like a big factory with many, many services going on at once and seems like this is the only place in Taipei for this, so there are lots of people at this place. It almost has a massed produced feeling.
