Short walk thru' Manila

Flying over the skies of the Philippines,

I will always remember the view of the numerous islands...

We had a short transit in Manila,

and decided to explore the city and perhaps get on one of the cool Jeepneys..

Their most common form of transport,

the Jeepneys are bright, eye-catching and definitely very local.

Street hawker selling some guava.

(a green tropical fruit that goes well with sour plum powder)

We walked through the streets of Malate,

an old-meets-new neighbourhood

Here's an unrestored Malate Church.

Street food with barbequed meat

- Isaw manok (intestines), chicken liver, and three-layered fatty pork

We didn't have enough time in Manila to really get a feel of the city,

but an odd but interesting fusion of modern buildings and traditional street hawkers.
