Singapore: shaving in heaven

Many Chinese believe that you can make your loved-ones' time in heaven more agreeable by burning paper offerings of things they might like. For example: a new car, beauty products or a Louis Vuitton purse. In Singapore you will find many stores selling all these (sometimes beautifully crafted) paper items for the dead.

I will definitely be requesting martial arts kit and English-style donuts when I go!
