Stuff you don't see every day...

...unless you live in Hong Kong.

How about a cup of sun tea on a hot day? Be sure to flavor it with dead bees overnight.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but besides the fact that the worship of false gods is distasteful to me anyway, it seems rather irreverent to light one's joss sticks with a blow torch.  

I think this is a painting of the false god, painted on the door to a temple. Looks like some cartoon character. You don't scare me!!!!

You've probably seen incense sticks before. In China they often burn them in public restrooms in an attempt to eradicate the bad smell. Yep, incense is burned in temples and restrooms. There's something really weird about that. But I digress. The above picture is of coiled incense that's hung from the ceiling.

Coffins for sale. Yep, right next to a repair shop, next to the bee tea shop, right in the middle of everything. So if you go out to the convenience store to buy a coke and a bag of M&M's, be sure to pick up a coffin on your way home.

I can understand if the guy played a flute or guitar, 'cause it is really popular in the Chinese world to play your music in public ... but why would a person carry such a heavy instrument to the train station to play it? Would you carry your grand piano to the station to play it? 

These are the mysteries of the Middle Kingdom.
