Wow, today is very smoky. I can smell smoke everywhere on the streets, even in the train I can smell it.
In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm.
You can check further detail here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Festival, if you are interested about it.
Maybe most of Indonesian Chinese people don't really know about it. I also don't know about it before. Or maybe because I'm a Christian, not a Buddhism.
