Not so Thriller in Manila
... of books (in English!!) and clothes, and shoes, and pretty, shiny things. *sigh* But all in all, Manila was really just a big, dirty, crowded, slightly scary city which we didn't really rate (apart from the shopping), so we ...
manila, philippines!my second hometown!!!!
... my experiences in Manila...First and for most I am not a native of Manila...I'm already 19 years old during my first step in Manila, Philippines. It's just only because I do have a training in Manila that's why I need to go there. The second ...

The Philippines
... coins and the taxi drove off. These kids were only about 12! Very sad... Despite the bad whether I really enjoyed the Philippines. The people are super friendly and always happy to help. I'd definitely come here again, but next time during the ...
What have I been eating?
... to try new things, but these seem to be a standby for me when we aren't eating Italian, Wendy's, or at Irish Pubs... yes Manila is fairly cosmopolitan in the nicer regions of town, but you'd be very suprised that even the McDonald's menu isn't the same ...
Goodbye Philippines - my personal summary
... As with any of the other countries that I have visited so far during my trip, the two and a half weeks in the Philippines have been great. Manila was an interesting experience (which I have to admit I don't need again), but the island of Palawan, where I ...
Manila, the city with 2 faces.
... ; the dress, the ceremony, the atmosphere,... very strange - again I didn´t had the feeling I was at the Philippines. Further we visited Manila Cathedral, Rizal Park, Roxas Blvd and watched the beautiful sunset at Manila Bay. In the nighttime we ...
Marinduque: More Than Just the Moriones
Marinduque Island, off Luzon, is well known for its Moriones Festival but much of the island's beautiful sites (white sand beaches, hot springs, lofty mountains, waterfalls, etc.) are relatively unknown or taken for granted. We actually drove around ...
I'm still alive - Driving in the Philippines
After a highly stress free journey reaching the Philippines, a slightly larger challenge was to follow - getting around the country in a car. Now I haven't driven for about 4 and a half months and I don't think I fully comprehended what was needed of me. ...
Leaving everything behind...
I felt this is one of the biggest and toughest decision I've ever made in my life so far... to live in a foreign land and leave everything behind. It means starting all over again...new life, new relationships, new career. But this doesn't mean ...

Le Village Loves
Fuck me dead, I'm beat. On the bus to Manila, from Clarke Airport...my first impression of the Philippines is that sleep is still too far away from me. I haven't slept one minute in the last 32 hours and the lack of sleep is spoiling my mood. I'm sad. I ...

Metro Manila

Ba-Bay Philippines !
