Manila Part 2

You know what I noticed about the Filipinos? They all have amazing voices. And they like to sing.
Throughout the trip I came across people -in a shop, in the bathroom, on the street, etc- singing to themselves. But full on singing, without holding back. I thought it was beautiful.
And like I said, it didn't hurt that they all did it on perfect pitch!

Alright, moving on to part deux of the photo spamming.*

This particular day took on more of a scenic route (ha!), which I was totally up for.

See the one with the crater? That's a volcano. Taal volcano. 

Manila: Part 1

"Hello, Manila!" is how I greeted this new-to-me city last week. I did not know what to expect and therefore didn't know how reminiscent of my own home country (Mexico) it would be. 

I had to leave Thailand to sort out some Visa 'issues' and decided to do some sight-seeing as well.

There's a reason I'm not a travel agent (other than never actually wanting to be one, that is)- I am crap at planning trips to places I've never been. If I've lived in a place or have been there before, piece of cake, I'm the one you want to call. If not, oy...
That being said, I fear I did not get to fully immerse myself in the Filippino landscapes and city. Maybe next time.
Have you been? What places do you recommend? Or what's a must-do?

I found this sign rather amusing- it was next to an elevator at this HUGE mall. More places should post up signs like this one.

I over indulged myself on my trip. From morning (Breakfast Buffet was like heaven) to night, snacks and desserts were difficult to say no to. Such as this one: Taho. Silken tofu with amilba with tapioca-like pearls. Deeeelicious!
