Hi Everyone.
It was me Englishbird who went to Manila for a week to see my BF. I am still completely spaced out, but I will attempt to tell you abit about my trip. Not too much though, cos I don't want to bore you all
I flew to Manila with cathay pacific via Hong Kong, they were great. They even landed early in Manila! I was dreading Manila airport as I have read so many horror stories about that place, but I collected my luggage and was out of the airport within 30 mins and with no hassle. I did feel like I was being stared at abit but that may have been my imagination!
I had arranged to meet Edwin at the passenger waiting area at the letter E but he decided to wait at the letter T. So i had a few minutes of panic, thinking that he hadnt come to meet me, plus I couldnt call him cos my mobile decided it wasn't going to work there.
We stayed at the Somerset Salcedo in Makati, I would highly recommend it. It is serviced apartments rather than a hotel. The staff were great, nothing was too much trouble.
I really liked Manila and found the people really friendly. We went to Greenbelt, Mall Of Asia, Star City and a few other places around that area. The only complaint I would have is the traffic!!.Oh my god! I have never seen traffic like it, it was a continuous rush hour,
Next time I go it will be for longer than a week and we will go out of Manila. so I can see some more of the country. I won't see my BF again now until July. When I will go to his cruise ship in Alaska to see him. Thats such a long time to wait!
