This is smoky Singapore during this season. Lots of people will just burn some special crafted paper. They will use some containers to do this and some, well, just anything will do. I have to do my homework and get the whole story right about this offerings and traditions, but I have to say it is not my favorite season. The smoky smell brings me bad firing memories. Apparently the government has been able to reduce a big amount of this activities around the city. I still think this is terrible for the environment and the people nearby. They must also spend a good amount of money. But well traditions are traditions so I just try to go around when I can. The good thing about this season is that lot of Chinese people also believe that is not good to swim since the bad spirits might get into your body. So, I'm enjoying that quiteness at my pool while it lasts.
