People from different countries see death in different ways. 3

In Taiwan, we seldom talk about it even on Tomb Sweeping Day. 4

In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead with joy. 5

During the festival, they also sweep tombs, 6

but they remember their dead relatives in a lively way. 7

Two months ago, I visited my friend, Rosa, in Mexico. 8

I was there for the Day of the Dead on November first and second. 9

We invited the ghosts back to our world. 10

We painted our faces and dressed up in costumes. 11

Later, we danced at a street party. 12

It was so fun. 13

Back at Rosa's house, 14

there were flowers, candles, candy, and food on the table. 15

Her family cooked a big meal for everyone, 16

and then shared touching stories of their dead relatives with me. 17

For Mexicans, the Day of the Dead is all about love, not fear.
