I don't see a problem with it, as it doesn't affect the ability to worship. It seems more about maintaining tradition.
What was the most surprising thing you ate?
Probably the donkey roll! It looks like dirt, but it's actually red bean and sticky rice. It was pretty good, but a little too much red bean for me.
Did you find that people could practice their religion freely?
Yes! There are tons of mosques and churches all around. Even my old workplace had a Christian church in the basement!
