I decided to use Hell Money for a project in art school and it was super easy to find in Vancouver's China Town ten or so years ago. It makes me wonder about the differences between Chinese immigrants to Canada versus the US...
- stupandaus 11y agoThere have been multiple waves of Chinese immigration to the US, with different concentrations of Mandarin vs. Cantonese speakers, education level, affluence, etc. Thus, there tends to be major differences between China Towns in different major cities.
- werber 11y agoYeah, I figured it was something like that, any reading suggestions?
- nogridbag 11y agoPretty much every grocery store in Chinatown in NYC that I've been to has had them.
- hderms 11y agoSame with Chicago
- canistr 11y agoIt should also be fairly easy to find in Toronto. I can attest that my grandparents tend to burn stacks of Hell money whenever we visit the cemetery. Followed by the usual feast afterward.
- mkching 11y agoIt was the same with my family when growing up in Hawaii. Based on the responses in this thread, it seems to be more prevalent in areas with Cantonese populations.
