November 2005 - Aberdeen Tour

Aberdeen is a small coastal community I hadn't been to yet so I went on an AWA tour. We visited a temple with a burnt offering chamber (my name for the fireplace). When a chinese person dies, relatives buy paper replicas of items the person owned in life. These paper items are taken to temple fireplaces like this one and burned so they will go to the other side with the person. These ladies were burning paper suits.

Then we went to the wet market. This is the "fresh" food market where the floor is always wet from flopping fish, dripping carcasses and squashed fruit.
