Scene: Hong Kong (Death Edition)

Being made up of mostly Chinese, Hong Kongers have a fascination with death. No doubt they speak of the dear departed in the past, but at the same time, it feels as if they are taking a long hiatus at a holiday chalet.

These tomb plots are considered to be “landed property”,

while urns of ashes in sealed cubicles are akin to Hong Kong’s high-rises.

Paper money, clothes, shoes, cars, a number of credit cards and whatever else is wrapped and lettered with the recipient’s name.

Delivery by fire.

Light a joss swirl and leave your wishes in the temple.
