A true city of the dead, the Chinese Cemetery is an amazing area where the dead are venerated in houses instead of graves, and where the family still comes by regularly for more than just laying fresh flowers.
The big street still had all the noise and pollution that can be found in many parts of Manila, but as I turned a corner and walked slightly uphill, the smaller streets had a much friendlier atmosphere. Kids playing outside, an old woman sitting on a chair, a man washing his jeepney: life seemed much more relaxed here. When I reached the entrance gate of the cemetery, I met with a resident who claimed to have been born here, and decided to explore the cemetery with him. That was a good decision: he turned out to be a very knowledgeable guy with a good sense of humour. We agreed on a two hour walk, and my new found friend started to talk enthusiastically about the history of the cemetery.
