From the plane window, see the blue expanse of the island and the sea turns. Shades of the sea presents a dazzling blue for coastal islands each region are generally decorated with extensive coral reefs are shallow blue-brown. Some look like a road connecting inter scattered. “If it falls, people usually use to cross the shallow reef between islands, most only stay a few meters that require people to swim,” said Myra. Outskirts of the shallow coral reefs were then lined with dark blue deep ocean. Some of the Philippine Sea region is deep enough that it is often crossed by a whale. Landscape land area was no less miraculous.

Travel To Phillipines February 15th, 2010
When it comes to size, the tomb of China in general consuming more land than the non-China. How not? aja follow-up treasure in the tomb. The graves of the descendants of China rich in Manila reportedly recorded in “Ripley’s Believe it or Not”. This is what makes me so curious. LP mentioned in the book, this location close to the LRT station (train overpass) Abad Santos. But in the map attached at the point LRT station wagon R is the nearest Papa. While officials at the LRT ticket counter I asked told me that I should get off at the station Bluementritt. Information that makes confused and misleading, I finally just follow the instructions in the car and I fell in R Papa.
Apparently no one, because a few hundred yards after leaving the station, I saw the 2nd entrance gate is locked in a state funeral. While the wall 3 meters high wall surrounding the cemetery complex. I try to surround the tomb complex from the outside to look for another door in the hope that there are open, but no avail.
As an illustration, the majority of the tomb of China who is here is more similar to houses in elite residential complex. There is shaped Europe, China, to Art Deco. Some are equipped with air conditioning, furniture, electronics, bedroom, and even a post office box on the fence “home”. But make no mistake, in the “House” it is grave. The family owners of the luxury building it is for the pilgrimage. Ahhh … .. unfortunately, until now remained a ‘mystery’ because I can only see it from the LRT station.
