Mmmmmm.  Smells like bacon!
Actually, it's Varanasi, India, at dawn.  I'm being rowed very slowly by a man desperate for rupees.  On the banks, thousands of devout Hindus are performing pujas in the holy water of the Ganges.  If they stick around until death, they can be cremated there, too, which will ensure release from that nagging cycle of birth and death. And you thought Texans took their barbecue seriously!
