Music for the Dead

Posted in Dorms, Exchange, Miscellaneous, Observations by leafgirl04 on September 19, 2007

Something really cool here is that from time to time, or a few times in a day, I’ll hear a sort of special music playing from a vehicle moving outside from my room because the dorm is right beside the road. And no, it’s not the garbage truck. This time, it’s actually music playing to signify that people are transporting the dead.

Before I found out what it really was, I thought Taiwanese people were partying it up all the time. Anyways, I don’t know if I’m supposed to feel something or honour their life or whatnot, but the music is cool in its distinctiveness.
