just around MANILA

I have been to Manila, several times already, and the malls, are the only place that I enjoy visiting. But since I am going there to meet friend who is a first-timer in Manila, I decided to explore Manila a little bit more by visiting Intramuros too.


Day 1: We had late lunch at Oki-oki restaurant at A. Venue mall. We ordered Chicken curry , chicken teriyaki and shrimp curry. Food tastes good, and staff are friendly. Around 7:00 in the evening, we just walked around the area to see the other establishments nearby. Before going back to the hotel room, we decided to check out the live band performing. (I will be talking more about the hotel on my next post)

Day 2:  We left the hotel around 1:00 in the afternoon already, so we decided to just head to Mall of Asia, I have been to MOA several times already, but I havent explored the entire place yet. I asked the cab driver to bring us to the bay area-where fireworks will be displayed at 7:00pm, I didnt expect that there are a lot of people that time, just chilling, dining, walking around.

view around 6:00pm

Day 2: Intramuros: It was a Sunday, and I was amazed, since their is no traffic at all around Manila, we paid the cab driver P150.00 from Makati Avenue to Fort Santiago. We decided not to get a tour guide, since we just want to roam around and take pictures, but I still want to try THE Carlos Celdran walking tour in the future.

It was indeed a very beautiful day, my first time in Intramuros.

FORT SANTIAGO

MANILA CATHEDRAL- which is under renovation that time

Inside the Chinese Museum - Bahay Tsinoy/Kaisa P150.00 for a ticket
