Burned money

Hi :)

Another crazy tradition in China. Today when i was returning from the shop i saw people who are burning rubish in the street, i said ok these people are just crazy and they do not have something better to do. After this situation i had a chinese private lesson and i asked my teacher why they do it. And there is an explanation:
Today there is The little ghost festival in China. People celebrate this day by burning fake money. This fake money is for little ghots and ususally ghost means children who died. These little ghosts come out only once a year, today.

For this reason the city looks magic. Unfortunately i did not take a photo because it is said that i can bring by this bad luck to these people.
