I can't explain this, but I can describe what I saw...down a dark alleyway in Dongjiadu (old town) about 10:30pm, I came accross this scene...buddhist monks burning what looked like boxes (beer and other things). I can only imagine it was a funeral or something..my instinct took over and I started to shoot...most of the people around me were amused as they often are..one guy who was drunk told me stop..having taken four pictures I moved on....the monks had finished their chanting by then and moved back in to a house. I wonder...is this how a poor man's spirit is put to rest in this rich city?
