Altars

Every little store, no matter how tiny, has its own in-house altar, where offerings are being made every morning. An orange, a couple of cigarettes, a couple of hundred dollars (fake bills though), a few bisquits or a cup of tea or something else some special ancestor would have liked.

Temples are everywhere and they are full of altars, propped with offerings, as well.
