Manila, Philippines



This time it was off to Manila.

Interesting place, for the first 3 hrs, after which it became excruciatingly boring. 
Poverty was apparent and the traffic conditions are painfully bad. 
Bangkok and Singapore have Nothing to complain about.

Thank you for checking out the pictures.


Prime waterfront housing.
1 Horse Power
Chrome is "IN" in Philipines
Local Transportation called "Jeepneys" (Modified WWII USA Military Jeeps with surplus old isuzu engines) Very inefficient, old diesel technology means pollution and poor fuel economy. Worse part is they only fetch around 20 ppl.  They need Buses badly.

I guess i would like to post some pictures of my room view - whenever available. 
Heres a series of pictures showing the view at different times of the day. 
In Manila it gets bright earlier in the day and gets dark around 5pm ... 

Everymorning i wake up and my first thought is "HOLY FUCK I OVERSLEPT" ... it looked like it was 1 pm outside... when its only 7 am... 

8 AM
Around... 5 PM i think?
6.30 PM - it gets dark pretty quickly
1 AM


Thats it for Manila. For now.
Thanks for reading.
