Netherworld Tour

Last few week, my friend forward me an email that is interesting and scary as well. The topic of the email is “Netherworld Tour”. You may found this news or story at The Star online dated on Wednesday 17 August 2011. The tour is help in our Pearl Island, Penang. The story is about a Door seller who aged 47-year-old would like to participants of the first ever outdoor “Netherworld Tour” (a trip to hell).



As all Chinese people know that now is the month of seven for Chinese calendar. I believe that some of the non-Chinese may don’t know what the meaning of the month of seven in Chinese calendar. The month of seven in Chinese calendar is the Halloween days for Chinese. For western side, Halloween is the day kids can wear their special make for Halloween costume and go around and ask for candy from door-to-door. I look excited & fun rite. But for Chinese Halloween that’s a big different. We don’t go out till late night for that month. We don’t simply say something bad about the “good buddy”. We believe on this particular month, the door from the hell is open and the entire “good buddy” is coming out look for foods. So you may see at the night time, a lot of auntie do some prayer at the road side. They will bring a long food & also prayer gold paper. Normally the old people will warn youngest do not go out at night and do no back home late night too. This is because they say if your luck is not enough to protect you; those “good buddy” will stick to you and follow you home. Once the “good buddy” with you then you will fall sick, face lots of bad luck and maybe involve in an accident. My grandparent told me before lots of old people will fall sick on this particular month. If you were lucky enough then you will be recovering soon. But if you bad luck then you may not pass that month.


So, back to the news or story that I received base on the description I mention just now, I wonder how come those people still want to join such tour. If you really successful go into the tour and you successfully come back into the reality world then you are lucky. But if you could not back to the reality world, what will happen? Will you die? Will you come back on day? No one will know. I wonder is the human is too free and nothing to do till can think out such idea. I’m sure some people will think that I never try before and see before how could I say so much. What can I answer you is “if the “good buddy” doesn’t want to let you see them don’t and force to see them. If you really saw them just ignore & forget about it.
