A city that I always wanted to visit

by muratkorman - last update: Mar 29, 2008

San Miguel Beer is the pure cause

On the river bank of Fort Santiago
It was 11 years ago when I was on a business trip to Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taipei as a translator. That was the first time I visited Far East and the first time I tasted San Miguel beer. It was one of the best I ever tried before and with curiosity I learnt that it was from Philippines, Manila. I remember clearly that day imagining myself drinking that beer where it was produced. After a decade here I am in Manila making my dream come true. Well it may sound a little silly, but who cares? This is the incident which initiated this trip. However, I was so happy to be in Manila as it offers more than just beer. The old city walls Intramuros, shopping paradise Makati, nightlife district Malate and many more.You can always find a cause to travel, don't you?

 Welcome to the land of Jollibees, San Miguels and security guards toting hi-powered arms. To reciprocate your kind words on our very own San Miguel, Efes is not bad. Cheers from the desert!
