Manila

by Jim_Eliason - last update: Jan 11, 2009

Add one part asian, one part spanish and one part american and you have a Filipino. It's very much a fusion culture that would fit just as easily in Latin America as in Asia. That having been said, it's a very vibrant culture with unique cuisine and a passion for music.

Manila itself has very few sites that would make it a tourist destination in its own. So it makes you dig a little deeper. What it does have is great shopping, fantastic cuisine and great nightlife.

Pros:"Great nightlife and food"
Cons:"polluted, noisy not many tourist attractions"
In A Nutshell:"Come for the people and culture not the sights."

 Hello Jim! Thanks so much for visiting my Puno pages. I see--you've been to Manila! You should visit the South/South Central parts next time--it's definitely unlike Manila. Cheers!

 You have great tips here in your Manila page. If you happen to visit the philippines again there are also other places outside of manila equally as interesting and beautiful :)
