A surprise meeting in Manila
We arrived in Manila expecting to be met by Enah and Jun, friends of our good pal John and got the added surprise of John being there at the airport to greet us too! So lovely to see a familiar face from home and the added bonus of a little parcel from my mum with lots of surprise goodies!
John had booked us into an apartment for 4 nights as a …
Hello from the other side of the world
Well we made it. The 13 hour flight from Toronto to Tokyo was LONG - imagine that. We fly into the sun so it never got dark the whole time. The TV's have improved so much - it made the flight go by at least that much quicker.
Tokyo airport is interesting. We landed - we had to get our connecting boarding passes - SO we had to take a shuttle to …
Manila, hmmm….

Another jewel, Casa Manila, is a beautifully restored mansion filled with priceless antiques, handcrafts, furniture (heavy, dark wood), clothes, and many fantastic ideas for souvenirs.

Manila: Didn't miss much Dad.
... off, because I won't be a happy bunny. So, I said to him it is 150 peso like we agreed of we walk and he gets nothing, after a while he said walk. So we did. Then I hear Sarah say that he is following us. When he has caught up with us, Sarah stepped aside and let me shout at him. I told him what we agreed and that if he didn't want it we wouldn't pay him and if he doesn't take it now, he can basically sod off. So he took it and sod off. To explain, I have dealt with soooo ...

“ Handy base in Manila ”
Reviewed Feb 5, 2011
Nice to have plenty of space and own kitchen, more like a mini apartment. Good location, nice view of Manila bay and very helpful and polite staff made our stay a good one. Not the cheapest place to stay, and rooms a little dated but comfortable and makes a nice change to just a hotel room.
