I arrived last night in Manila and am staying in the Makati area of town. Since I arrived late, I do not yet have an pics to share, but my first impressions are as follows:
*People are quite friendly, though not necessarily helpful
*Crossing the street seems to be an act of taking your life into your hands or pure craziness – I haven’t yet attempted outside, but will soon and can report on the reality of this later
*Women somehow manage to wear tight jeans and not seem to sweat…
*Flip-flops are the national footwear!
*It is definitely a large city
So, I am about to go out and explore a bit to see just what this place is all about…photos to come!
Until next time,
