I have been to some that are not so nice and overrun with weed. I know how you feel about visiting cemeteries and taking photos as a tourist. Perhaps the residents are happy they have not been forgotten.AVCr8teurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791962268368737548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-16777939456968418502012-01-19T22:31:38.773+08:002012-01-19T22:31:38.773+08:00But would you dare to play at the cemetery at nigh...But would you dare to play at the cemetery at night? ^^<br /><br />My grandfather's sister has a house right next to a "jirat cina"/Chinese cemetery. I would've been scared stiff if I'm asked to spend a night there.

And the mention of Mushizuka is as a teaser for my upcoming post on it.

So It was impossible to put in Temple's grave. So his grave is located in public cemetery.minorhttp://serendipity05.jugem.jp/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-76431311305811981472012-01-18T22:38:58.512+08:002012-01-18T22:38:58.512+08:00Let me know where you buy your plot. ^^Let me know where you buy your plot. ^^linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-6835371124712891132012-01-18T20:51:23.585+08:002012-01-18T20:51:23.585+08:00Ha ha...
