Although it's not celebrated over here, we were able to take some time out of our regular schedules to dye eggs with the students. I've posted a new album with some of the faces I see on a daily basis.
Taiwan will celebrate Tomb Sweeping Day in a few short weeks. On this day, families maintain their family grave sites and worship their ancestors. Maintenance of the site includes cleaning, weeding and repairing any damage that may have been done over the wet winter season. Some families will add a new inscription on the tombstone to add beauty and new meaning.
Other rituals include burning ghost money, lighting off firecrackers and having a huge feast. A group of us will be heading to Sun Moon Lake for the weekend to do some camping and hiking. I can hardly wait!
