Stockholm China travel reviews

In the last comer is an ornate wooden hearse (hand Stockholm China travel reviews carried) with a coffin inscribed and painted with insignias and painted silver insets.

As I cycled back towards town I detoured to avoid a stony section of road, and took to the paths through the fields. This was how I came across a vast old Moslem cemetery, mile upon mile of crumbling vaults, made of clay and straw, shaped like long domed coffins or else circular resembling bee-hives. Many vaults had fallen inwards revealing dark holes underground. Occasionally the ground beneath me was so thin I could feel it sink under my weight.
