looks like a good tradition to me

do you practice any rituals?

lol. thats cool. BTW whats up fellow Patriot Program memba? You been blaming allot of spam?

As much as I can.

i hate the fact i'll never spell BLAMMING the first time i try in a day.

I got your meaning just the same.

That's actually pretty beautiful. I know that a lot of those countries believe in spiritual things, so things like offerings of different kinds aren't exactly weird, and monuments such as these are regular. Sounds like you're having an interesting trip!

I also laughed when I thought it said University of LULZ. Yes.

This type of construction commemorating the death of a person is called a cenotaph, It's basically the same as say the unknown soldier monument. The one's I'm focusing on are more personal cenotaphs, and they exista in many, many parts of the world. There are some very similar in Florida, USA.

People do something very similar in rural parts of Canada, but it's usually just wreaths, flowers, or crosses. I think a lot of people, religious or not, have a need to visit the place where their loved one died as part of their grieving process. Kinda cool the way they do it there.

Thanks for the info. I knew similar practices were carried out in other countries, but I did not know Canada was one of them.
¿Do they place these markings for people who died under specific circumstances? Here in Venezuela they're almost exclusively reserved for traffic-related deaths, usually on interstate highways.
