The Mystery Of Hell Notes
It’s the Hungry Ghost Festival (HGF) again! I always wanted the gahmen to acknowledge it as a public holiday. If the Chinese New Year can get us 2 days of holidays, the month long HGF should give us around 3 to 5 days worth of holidays! WOOO HOOOOOOO!
The most intriguing part about the HGF is the burning of offerings for the ghosts. I don’t know about China or the Chinese in other countries but here in Singapore, our ghosts get stuffs like tons of money, gold ingots, clothing, hand-phones, makeup, houses, luxury cars with chauffeurs and MORE money. If all these really work, most of the ghosts get tons and and tons of money! But the thing is, if every ghost gets around $172,527,192,027,000 every time someone burns hell notes for them, the stuffs in hell are probably bloody expensive.
A can of coke costs about $1.20 here but in hell, it probably costs about $1,200,000.
How does a ghost receive the money anyway? Is there a ghost bank that will magically store the money into the accounts of the ghosts? Or will the money just appear right in front of them? If it does? How do they go about keeping the money?
Won’t you like to know?

Hmm…hell notes.
I find them amusing, probably because I’m Catholic and thus less into Asian superstition/culture.

The inflation in hell is so high that people have to burn notes in billions, lol why not just make a new currency at 1 000 000 000 000dollars to improve life in hell?

yongwei> I think there may be already such notes in place. Imagine finding change for a 1 000 000 000 000 dollar note.

You realise that we burn stuffs like cars and private jets… but I was just wondering where they are going to get the petrol to operate those stuff down there.
