The Middle of the "Ghost Month"

Yesterday was the middle of the lunar month of July, which is considered to be "ghost month". Thus, in the middle of this month, many in Taiwan believes that the gate of 'hell' is opened the widest. Most businesses would put out tables of offering and burn paper money.  The air quality gets very bad, so it's been great to have the rain.

Today, our complex had the 'joint worship service'. Many complexes would do this and again, tables are set out in front of the complex and again, massive amount of paper money is burned.

I had to be home during the afternoon when this was going on. I had the fans on as you feel as if you're getting smoked out of your own house!

In the afternoon, it started to rain and that again, helped tremendously.

A Christina friend sent me this link for any who might be interested to find out more about what happens in Taiwan and other Asian countries during this month --
