BEFORE coming to Hong Kong, I rarely got the chance to smell the sweet scent of incense, and I enjoyed it when I could. But since coming here a few months ago, I have begun to hate that smell.
I have nothing against Buddhism - or any other religion - it's that it's this constant burning of incense that's annoying me and my family.
Even though there are signs everywhere where we live saying no burning of incense, the people just don't seem to pay attention to them.
Every morning, when I wake up, instead of being able to breathe in fresh air (or as fresh as it gets in Hong Kong), I find myself waking up to this smell of burning incense .
Not only does the burning of incense annoy people, it's bad for the environment as well and speeds up global warming.
And, it's not just in the hallways. You can smell it wherever you go.
