It was a beautiful winter day today so I headed downtown to see some friends and do a little shopping.  While I was out I saw someone burning money which is a fairly common scene around the streets of Taiwan at certain times of the year.

A money offering to the gods.

Food and incense on the offering table.

An offering table with fruits, alcohol, pork, chicken, fish and lots of paper money.

A view of the Grand Hotel (near our house).
