Too bad you can't really see clearly the ambulance making its slow crawl down the street. Now, it didn't have sirens on, just lights, so maybe it wasn't on an emergency call, but even WITH sirens they still move at a snail's pace, and traffic still won't yield. And that big empty space across from me? That's the site of a new complex with the ridiculous name of P&T: Palace and Taste. Uh huh. Sure.
Growing up in Taipei, I used to hate those sounds. Funerary rites are one of the worst aspect of Chinese tradition. The deceased family force the whole world to witness their mourning by disturbing the entire neighborhood, not only with loud and annoying sounds, but with parades and displays that block the alleys and streets. It is totally selfish and uncivilized.
