I flew into CLark on the 23rd... Jumped in a Cab and headed into Manila! Wow what a sight driving down the highway... Take away stores everywhere: jollybees, dunkin donuts, macdonalds, hungry jacks and seriously millions more! It's fast food capital in sure!

Anyway after a slight mishaps with where i was staying I finally arrived at red carabao! It's this gorgeous mansion right it the heart of a crazy district called Santa cruz! so I settled in, dropped my washing off and picked up some local street food which I shared with my roomies.

Next morning it was up early to head to makati city to pay for my liveaboard! Traffic was crazy... I mean in took 1 hr to get in! Then it took 1 hr to get back! So time was running short to get to back in to the airport to get my 4:15 flight to puerto princesa. Ending up picking up my washing still wet, throwing in my bag and jumping back in the taxi ive been in all day! Traffic was horrendous! I mean 2.5 hrs to get to the airport which is just across the city! A mad dash to the check in counter... And I had JUsT made it! Haha

Manila is a pretty hectic city.. However I wasn't there for very long but what I can see it's busy, dirty and a bit
Of a cross between Bangkok and Saigon. Oh and there are huge malls everywhere!!! Also People are extremely friendly and called u mam every second! Haha.
