Hey all,
I just posted my blog about my participation
in a traditional Chinese festival ceremony in the countryside. It was a wonderful experience, one single day that seemed like a month, so much did I see.
You don't have to read the whole story (it's looong), but I might as well not write it all down again here,
so go and have a look at the pictures!
The festival we celebrated is the Dead People's day, or we would probably call it All Saints even though in China
of course it is not a Christian festival.
I also talked with my students about this festival, and Irma, I showed them pictures
about el Dia de los Muertos, they were very scared of the little sugar skulls ....
Greetings to all,
Uli
