Macau – Old Downtown

Filed in Photography , Travel 14 comments

:hypediss:

I am kind shocked how many pictures I took during our 24 hour stay in Macau – I want to finally get to the China pics. But you deserve to see all of the Macau images.

With this post I am going to take you to the Old Downtown of Macau. Here you will see the traditional parts with shops, antique stores and couple of street restaurants. I loved walking through there. I’d just wish I would have brought my medium format camera to take some portraits. Oh well, next time.

the paper clothing and watch etc. are not intended for toys but are gifts for dead friends and family members. they are burned so that the dead can enjoy them in the afterlife. there’s also ‘spirit money’ and the full gamut of house hold appliances from rices cookers to radios and t.v.s all made out of paper and cardboard and all fairly realistic. i once saw a beautiful card stock t.v. with a lenticular screen that changed as you walked by it.

jd,

thank you very much for the information .. I actually have heard about these paper burning rituals. Didn’t put it together though. These boxes looked like toys to me ;)
