Ghost month

When I was young, I used to play with those small flags that they used for offering. Being young, I enjoyed playing with whatever I could get my hands on. There was also the getai, and the food accompanied the occasion. In a way, I looked forward to the hungry ghost month festivity. When I was young.

Now, I only find the smell of the burning of the papers irritating. The ashes also flew all over the area, making it dirty. Why can't these people clean up after their offering? Such irresponsible people. Some also ignore the bin provided and choose to burn on the pathement or grasses. At least clean up after the offering is over.

The smoke contributes to the already hazy sky.
