"It's so hard survive... How to survive like that...? You should go home to your wife..." At first I thought it was a man talking to somebody on the phone. Then he repeated the same thing again and again. I noticed it was actually an middle-age man talking to himself in the train. Maybe he was mentally unstable because he got retrenched or was unable to find a new job. Sigh...
The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)
