I have on many occasions seen a lot many Chinese folks burn fake currencies as a tribute to their dead, and in fact come across this ritual often living in China.
Joss papers or fake currencies are sold commonly, and what my neighbor was burning isn't it.
I mean paying tribute every two weeks is a bit much, and the papers had a distinct fapiao (invoice) look to them.
Of course I'm not going to ask them directly, but maybe sneak a peak to figure this mystery.

Ho hum. Sunday evenings are so meh. It was a bit sunny, but just as I exclaimed excitedly about the weather having a distinct yellow glow, it turned into a mulled terra-cotta and now everything is murky again.
You know that moment when you're dying to wear a really nice dress, but you've nowhere to go, so you make reservations in a fabulous restaurant.. yeah, well, I did that today. And now the thought of getting dressed for dinner doesn't feel as glamorous as it did this morning.
I never thought I'd write this, but I'm so undecided about shoes.. sobs
