It's the time of year when Mexicans believe the dead come to visit. Streets and houses are decorated with skeletons, flowers and colorful skulls, while many people dress up to welcome the spirits. It may sound a little spooky, but it’s actually a moment of celebration. As Jaime Ocon reports, although Taiwan has its own tradition of honoring deceased ancestors, the two events are very different in nature.
