7th Month

Well, it's arrived - Hungry Ghosts Festival. The time when the gates of Hell supposedly open and all the Hungry Ghosts get their vacation time on earth...Lots of offerings are given to appease the "visitors", and one is exhorted not to wander around 'til late at night, "just in case". There's a massive tent set up in the void deck of a nearby block, and shows are staged nightly for the "visitors" to keep them busy. I guess it's in the hopes that they'd be so occupied they wouldn't be out creating disturbances amongst us. *shiver*
