    No one noticed - including me, until a friend pointed it out - that I originally posted this photo the wrong way round . Of course traffic has always driven on the right in the Philippines .
    Neither Photobucket nor my slide scanner are smart enough to tell me " wrong way round " - no matter how good modern technology there's still room for human error .
    I didn't label the slide 34 years ago ( too many Christmas parties and filipinas distracting me ) so I still don't know which road this was.

    This is along Manila City Hall...as you can see the tower with the clock at the far right of the picture.

    It's good to know that someone who was a baby when I took the photo can now help me identify where it is .
    I'm also happy that so many members have appreciated these images, given a new lease of life by modern technology .

    i recognize it cause my previous work is in Malate area and i always took a jogging there every morning with my dad from luneta to CCP then back to rajah sulayman near Malate church. And i love to go walking along Manila area i'd like to explore by walking since i'm from the province and it helps me to avoid the traffic hahaha
