Wonderful photos guys. Let's always try to label and give a short description for every photo posted so that our foreign guests would be guided on what we are posting and no one could say that posting all these is just to pull the post counts.

wow, Manila is booming and surprising. Every time I saw new pictures I find something new. Just a Question, are there some remaining buildings of the Spanish colonial period in the city, as we have in Latin America.

It's name is Vigan.Here are pics of modern Manila LRT's Purple Line on Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City Ninoy Aquino International Airport Skyscrapers lining Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue in Makati City Makati viewed from Makati Shangri-La hotel

Wow! It's really world of wonders! How I wish that one day i could see your country. It seems that I'm going to have fun with all these lights glittering at night and with the friendly people hanging outside, for sure it would be a great fun. Leestat from Vladivostok.

Manila!
Manila's name always gives me the tickle to fly right away in this southeast asian city.
Based on what I read, people from there are English speakers and they are like westerners when it comes to thinking and fun. I just wish that my housemaid was a Filipina. |
