nope for her new company. Yes to previous company.

oh so that's why people are burning joss paper..??

sorry, i don't understand the culture.. is it a culture? or religion? is it the same as ghost month?

nope but the building owners and neighbour are lighting bonfires big time!

there is, but it's up to individual staff if they want to contribute or not.

it is part of Chinese culture and my company organizes it yearly.

companies organize .... bonfires?! That would be a major infraction of the fire codes here. Jail time would result.

no really bonfires, mojo.

the burning of joss sticks and papers are for the spirits as the Chinese believe this is the Ghost month.

hoho, I just heard about the burning man community, let me check it out.

hmm, if I ever drop by Nevada, I may give this a try.
