In the wedding party, guests give the cash in red envelopes ,and enjoy a rich meal. The money is used to cover the fee for the meal during the wedding party. After the wedding party, the bride and groom's close friends will stay with the couple until the very late night. They try their best to embarrass the couple by asking them to perform mock sexually acts in front of their friends. Taiwan is usually conservative about sex, but becomes very open during wedding parties among close friends.
Some funerals are solemn, others are festive.
Family and relatives of the dead may employ the services of an electric organ flower car. Women sing, and sometimes strip off their clothes, on the car. This behavior is explained as entertaining the dead. Some strangers may be employed to cry for the dead. Since Taiwan is very crowded and the land is very expensive, people spend lots of money buying a place to bury the dead.
