00:26They are blaming the ghost month.

00:29What is this?

00:30Kahera has been in a bake shop in Ilaya, Siana for more than 4 years.

00:34And every month of July or August, their sales are slow.

00:39This is called by the Chinese as a ghost month.

00:42Despite this, they can't close their shop.

00:45The ghost month is a belief in some Asian countries.

00:48Based on their culture and according to their Feng Shui expert,

00:51it starts in the month of August and reaches up to the part of September.

00:55During this time, it is said that the gates of heaven and hell are opening at the same time,

01:00unlike the living.

01:01They believe that the spirits are making noise

01:05and that it can affect our decisions in life.

01:09The vendor named Richelle also believes in the ghost month.

01:13Her problem now is how to strengthen her sales, especially since she is new to her job.

01:19Even the vendor named Jennifer also believes in the ghost month.

01:23How does Jennifer fight against this belief?

01:30The ghost month.

01:31Because it's August, that's why the hardships are there.

01:35Now, the ghost month, our cakes and bread are weak.

01:40The Chinese say that even if it's a little, as long as there's profit.

01:45It's a bit weak now.

01:47The sales are weak now, even if it's day or night, it's weak.

01:51I was hoping that I could get the Nespec that I will sell.

02:03Meanwhile, Ivan, the ghost month started on the 4th of August and ended on the 2nd of September.

02:11There are also those who believe that whether it's a ghost month or not,

02:14our success in life is based on our own efforts and faith.
