alas, the road is closed now, for re-paving...

but you should try Rizal town in laguna, at night.. the straight (and then-unlighted) road cuts downward thru the cemetery on both sides of the road, with the old trees shaking hands above you, and the bridge almost invisible far down below... i made a u-turn and went back to go home.. never mind my meeting!
which is why bilib ako sa jeepney drivers na matatanda. kaya pa rin magdrive kahit oldies na at walang headlights.
