Wow!

You have brought here a completely new culture to me, all all all.
First of all, burials in my country are not celebrated in this way. They are associated with a sad event and no music is there present. The family members even try not to listen to any music or allow themselves any kind of entertainment after that. Women (the elder generations) wear black if I am not mistaken for at least 40 days, or even a year, or more.

I see that your tradition is completely different. Although it is sad even to lose someone, people try to turn the sadness into a celebration? Much better!

But all those colours, food, music, it is completely a different world to me! So colourful!!! 🙌

The dresses that the women wear and the decoration on the heads, how cool.
ANd the style of dancing! I have never seen it! Thank you for this experience almostsober@almostsober

P.S. Although I see why you have titled your post in the same way as I, maybe it would be good to slightly vary it?? :D

people might think it is the same post if dont open it, or if anyone else wants to write a similar post that they should title it this way... so to avoid it. I hope you understand my request :))

However, I do like your whole post and your creativity, it was cool (plus the food stands and the maggots... Uhm... is it common to consume them? How do they taste ?)
