To soho (soho),
it took more than a year for me to spot your thread. LOL...
1. Mother Brylina (brylina) is right.
2. Mother Moon (ltbs2006) is partially right.
七月不宜带小孩到处走。Including zoo, beach, shopping mall, restaurant, hawker centre, cinema, playground and etc.
I have lived in the United States and stayed in many countries, Chinese lunar 7th month is a ghost festival no matter which part of the world. 七月份的好兄弟确实是存在,出来游荡比平常多。
Some children fall sick out of sudden or unusual cry at night or meet accident/mishap or die. 所有迹象,多半皆与游魂有关。
I have seen 游魂 followed a cute toddler girl and subsequently sneaked into the house. True enough, something happened. At that particular wee hours, parents panicky carried her (in her father's arm), hailing a taxi. Probably, rushing to A & E.
My advice to everybody is, try not to bring children out in Chinese lunar 7th month.
Welcome to participate in praying for having a child:
