At home in the city of the dead 2



These leafy suburban streets are actually part of one of the worlds more interesting cemeteries.



These are in the Chinese Cemetery, one part of a huge three part cemetery. The other parts are La Loma a Catholic cemetery, and North Cemetery (more on that one in another post). All three have elaborate tombs.

You can peek into this one and see a toilet in the room on the right. It's typical that they have running water, flush toilets, and electricity.



There are even shops in the cemetery.
