I believe whatever pays the bills is worth being grateful for, no matter the nation. :) We are in Kuala Lumpur right now and were in a temple the night before CNY. It was fun observe them handing red envelopes and paying for the bell ring and other services. I got the filling it is all about the money. In front of the temple, a crowd of homeless people were trying their luck as Chinese felt particularly generous. Well, if you don't have any you are hungry on the street, so it is all about the money.
