Manila

I grew up in here and I love Manila.It maybe a lil’ dirty but,I love this place.It’s sooo natural.It’s the environment I grew up in so I’m into it.Too bad I’m now livin’ in Malaysia.

Well.. I got some friends studying in there..

Anybody fancy a 6 day all around Philippines tour this October? Message me.. I already got some cool people joining me.. Lets get more!!

backpackers, jungle trekkers, city wreckers :P whats uuuuuup!!

I visit Manila en route to my summer seminars 2 hours or so outside the city. Not much happens on my way to Laguna, since I am able to get my sisters to pick me up at the airport.
Now I might be talking about places outside Manila (hehe), but Makati has some nice spots to visit.
Could anybody help me out with the name of this Italian coffeeshop in that area? Friends are gushing about their coffee, claiming its the only authentic Italian coffee for miles around.

Head out to the country somewhere, or up to Baguio, where all of the Philappinos go for their vacation. Go hit the amazing beaches up north or cruise to a different island. Manila is just another dirty city.

I have family here, so I come every so often to visit. However, beyond Intramuros, I don’t know that there much of tourist interest, unless you enjoy shopping malls. I will say that the people are warm and the food is fantastic.

Everytime I travel to Manila, I always get a sense of nostalgia. The smell, the sights, the street, and the locals… I’m cravin’ Jollybee and some good Filipino cuisine!

Living here for six months! It’s gonna be a wild ride! :-)

But still a lot of fun. It really does have the feel of Bangkok, but a little dirtier and things don’t run as smoothly. The people are great though. The food will leave you craving vegetables and things that are not fried but after a little work, you can find yummy noodle bowls and things for super cheap.

YAYYYY IT DID

A bit boring… very calm and placid, not vibrant… feels like vancouver.
