Take the bus to Sunset Boulevard

If you do not go to Manila Bay Sunset Boulevard along the coast, you cannot count to Manila.

So we climb a local bus heading West. Manila's bus is a lengthened by Jeep, each car can seat 10 individuals, this car produced from local Jeep conversion factory, not scrap the old motor cover white metal or stainless steel car shell, a new car was born. Each Jeep driver will leave their cars dressed in flower and the breeze, posted full car shell provocative designs and text. And Manila together in such a car, your mood will involuntarily okay, just turned from behind the window watching the scenery, from time to time, and the Philippines in the window opposite handsome head winking.

From the hotel over the road we are the best in the city, guided tours of the building's mouth constantly from former President Marcos names: this cultural centre is Marcos era, the theatre is Marcos era, just above the light rail is also ordered the construction of Marcus.

Mr. 40s guide a little miss that he happens to the youth of the 90s, he went so far as to assert that the 70 's in Manila is the most developed city in Asia, said Marcos stepped down, democracy is coming, but economic development are not as fast. As a foreigner, you do not need to complain to the local people take it seriously, he still loves his place of residence, or he is on the side of a monk statues are warmly told us about 10 minutes.

The sunset is attractive, sunny in the morning through the planting of tall on the roadside, Golden coconut light pours in Manila Bay blue of the sea.

On the banks of the local people each morning exercises have become gold, is, jog man or follow recorder Slickers old lady, or face happy smile white teeth. I had completely forgotten for the moment is in a foreign country. Here are my feelings and Bund acutally, I like the same in their own doorstep, soon joined a jump gymnastics team. The sea in the distance a hulking ship, the pure sea and sky to make it look like it is set on the stage.

Locals prefer dusk here to watch the sunset, then you can glance at Sun inch inch to fall deep black sea.

Fort Santiago

Built in 1571, the castle of San Diego was previously a colonist who inhabited place in Spain, the small towns are still beautiful and solemn, although it has fallen out of the wall.

Castle outside the River, on the other side is Chinatown — a.d. 10 century began to immigrate to Manila in Fujian house built in here. Castle on top of Cannon on the perennial erecting a river, aiming at the minds of Spain who knowingly Chinese on the national economic significance, but fear Chinese forces exceed them. Once across the River in the Chinese community in a precarious is a sign that Spain will hasten the gun fired past within the ammunition. Each time they are not driven, because the Chinese will make a beautiful clothes, do not have been here before the meat bun, wonton, Chinese grocery store has an ancient traders from the East to the beach. From 1603 to 1686, Spain people did a total of 4 times, were killed by the Chinese more than 5 million people.

The Castle also serves as the lead role in the prison of underground corner along the river there is connected with the river water fastness.

It is said that Japanese occupation was put into the people did not live up too, once the river rises over the ceiling, was stuffed in the sewers of geologice hazards in constructing quli turn of centuries, who will have to fend for themselves. Apart from this horrible function, the Castle also has held over the Philippines Sun Yat-Sen-SA-Lee. In 1896, "thought crime", the SARE Lee exile on return home, his uncle took the parents news to the reward being around his colonists. Lee SA in the castle of a black House spent 12 to his mother and sister, judgment and night breaks down, shoot. The day Lee SA-hands were tied, were escorted from the walk to the Castle. Later people to Mosaic on the floor metal foot, his day walking routes image display in front of visitors. I just walk along the lines of the footprint, the depth from the Castle until you come to the National Park. Located in the National Park West corner of the scene is now converted to Lee SA-Memorial Park, in a brick walls covered with MOSS, a performance in front of Lee SA was shot dead at that moment, the situation of the statue group all the statue has 3 metres high. Lee SA-obviously already shot, painfully struggling to days, standing behind him, the number of armed soldiers for an enhanced row. Lee SA-leaves of wealth in this country is to let his compatriots for the first time clearly recognized that the Philippines should be an independent country, rather than Spain's subsidiary State; while growth in the country they are Filipinos. Writing history always has a price, just to gain such a now looks very simple common sense, Lee SA-paid life. 100 years have passed, the Malays, Spain and Chinese descent, regardless of the mestizo or pure, now call themselves "Filipino".

In the restaurant before accepting the "security"

Malate is a similar Shanghai Xintiandi, in an elegant, modern buildings scattered trees, everywhere covered with for coffee and dinner of Western-style tables and chairs.

Here looks calm and quiet, no danger of clues, so that when the entrance as a security again, lifting his hands the little wooden sticks in my purse strumming, I think he is a bit redundant. He is in the checked bag has the bomb. If security is a woman, she is sure to have my clothes a honk honk outside in order to confirm that I am not a bundle of the explosives in the Marauders. In fact, all in Manila to hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, cinema, must have the check, multi-pronged terrorists not long ago in the city some bomb detonated. In the enter hitsExtremely high public acceptance check before, I was a dose of "assurance", what's more, each time into the restaurant before a routine check itself with comedy is more an aperitif: a bit of fat cooking has time to Cook, hand pinch with a pair of chopsticks in the guest's bag and playing with that posture like in their food!

Although the Malate environment is good, and Shanghai, to find a delicious and affordable dinner, go to the new world is not enough, you have to find the locals to different restaurants.

Roadside big glass rear head eZ publish, eZ publish, self-service restaurant is good place, 250 Peso grades in a fresh and incomparable can eat roast suckling pig, Manila is will roast meat, pork, fried meat, smoked meat, meat sauce, doing very well. In the selection of fruit juice, the variety of tropical fruit name's judgment is reduced to zero. I had to consult a native of Manila girl Ailian, the Chinese doctor immediately for me to come for a cup of green mango juice (locals call green mango). If you buy a cup of mango sauce 10 chunks of money, I'd rather a 100 bucks to drink green mango juice. This thing is too good to drink, it's a seconds reminded me of the record had since all good things, sour plum soup has far better than it. In drank the last drop of light green liquid, I disconnect the embedded in glass along with a small piece of green mango meat, it looks like a cork as dry, bite, sweet and sour juice it immediately in the mouth four projection.

Manila is like a piece of flesh, countenance, but hidden surprises.
