The Great Unanswered Questions of Beijing

An ancient oven for burning things as an offering for good harvests.
Why is burning things afterlife mail?  Really, why?  

Is the etiquette of not eating more complicated than the etiquette
of eating?


Why are there camels at the Great Wall?   I mean, they were cute and
friendly and all, but why?
Speaking of the Great Wall, is the dead snake beside the empty
candied wrapper symbolic of anything?  Should it be?


Is the imperialistic corporate franchise location right outside the
imperial city symbolic of anything?  Should it be?  

Why is the people's monument closed to the public?  The Forbidden City
isn't closed! Such irony.  The people of the people's army just said the country
was having an event, and marched around with chairs.  2 chairs per arm per people's soldier.
This is probably the best possible use of an army.  That is not actually sarcasm.
