The author personally did his own foot work with all that goes with it, being attacked by mosquitoes, bees, knats, and other annoying insects, walking the other way when he came across a snake he could not identify, chased by dogs, and one time he was even accompanied by some dairy cows that wandered into a cemetery. Mr. Seng always felt close to the people resting there and felt like he was preserving the fact that they were once were alive like him and wondered what their lives were like.
