death

i was travelling down a small dirt road on a tuk tuk and heard moaning music being played quite loud from a tinny speaker out the front of one of the houses.
The local i was with explained as we went past that it was because someone had just died there.
The people nearby all seemed more or less the same as normal. Quick to smile at a passerby and upbeat. death is a normal part of life i guess.
interesting the way different cultures treat death. There's something very removed about the typical Western method and i wonder about the impact it has on our lives...
