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.

Mabuhay Manila
Travel To Phillipines February 15th, 2010
Manila, as the metropolis not much different with Jakarta. Pollution, traffic, homeless, crime and other social problems is the mirror of a major city in the developing world in general. One time I took a bus across town, on the bus a little girl handing out a packet of sweets to each passenger, I think this is a free snacks for passengers, but the sweets wrapped in paper stuck to the contents of which appeal to passengers to buy sweets to help defray living the little girl who dropped out of school.
Every passing pengerah offices of labor, I always see long queues of people who took a job application folder, hoping to be accepted overseas employment. Understandably, the Philippines also compete with our country in terms of labor export.
Several times to read reviews from the Internet about the journey of the backpackers, many mention the legendary crime in the city of Manila. Perhaps because of the high crime rate, level guards minimarket had a gun in the waist. But every place is different, certainly interesting to watch.
