Oh so it's April 5 for Malaysia? For us in the Philippines the day of the dead falls on November 1. Actually's that's All Saints' Day, and November 2 is All Soul's Day but for some reason people associate November 1 as the day of the dead and that's usually when the cemeteries get filled up with people. Living people, I mean. Ha ha.
It's busy time for many people. the last time I attended Ching Ming was my great grandma's grave...a long time ago. Interestingly, looking at your blog..we do live in the same town :)

ReplyDeleteIt was raining very hard on Qing Ming day in San Francisco. I didn't go. My family went earlier to pay respect to our grandparents.

ReplyDeleteMost people visited the graves on Sunday...
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting event. I think it's really worthwhile; wish we did that more here.
