I was walking back from the coffee shop this morning and passed three or four shops selling paper toys... I was fascinated, so I did a little more research.

| Paper Offerings! |
This past Wednesday was a Hong Kong holiday called Ching Ming. It's a day designated for families to clean their ancestor's grave sites and remember their past family. The burning of paper goods represents the objects a family wants their kin to have in the afterlife, such as:
 |
| Paper IPad, IPhone, IPod Shuffle |
 |
| Paper McDonald's |
 |
| Paper Gucci Handbags |
 |
| Paper Button-downs |
 |
| Delicious Paper Roasted Goose, Suckling Pig, and Roasted Duck with Duck Sauce |
 |
| Paper House complete with Philippino Paper Maid and Driver |
Most of these shots were posted on Instagram. IPhone and Android users- Follow me @raqalot
