Vacation In Manila
Hi Everyone,
I will be traveling in the middle of February to Manila for two weeks. It has been 20 years since I was last in the Philippines and that was a military thing in Subic Bay. Any suggestions for Manila? Any must sees or must dos? All input is welcome. |

You could help us by telling us what you're interested in: nightlife, beaches, nature, art, museums, etc. I suspect a few people will tell you not to stay in Manila and go to potentially nicer places outside the capital.

Vacation In Manila
Well I do enjoy the nightlife as much as anyone but my main focus is on the
culture and the people there. "grusl" wrote in message ... On Dec 11, 11:28 am, "Just A Cruiser" wrote: Hi Everyone, I will be traveling in the middle of February to Manila for two weeks.

Well I do enjoy the nightlife as much as anyone but my main focus is on the culture and the people there. I'm not too knowledgable about the night life there and I'm sure it has changed a lot but there are quite a few folks on this group with plenty of information. Otherwise, Malate is one of the older bohemian neighbourhoods ... a cool area for cafes and bars . There was a couple of decent restaurants selling Spanish-style tapas and other food. The Jose Rizal Museum is very impressvie to anyone interested in the country's history. Intramuros in general is good for architecture. The waterfront around the Manila Hotel is quite the place for people-watching. Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore |

Vacation In Manila
Hello
For some ideas of what to see in Manila, you could check out my "Manila Day Tour" video, on this page of my website: http://www.bigjimsphilippinesexperience.com/videos3.htm In two weeks, you could also do some short trips from Manila. For instance, you could: - take a day trip to Tagatay to see the Taal Volcano - catch a plane to Tagbilaran and spend a few days touring Bohol - Catch a plane to Caticlan, then spend a few days partying on Boracay. If you want information on adult nightlife, my suggestion is you try this forum: http://www.piatnight.com Enjoy yourself where ever you go! Regards: Jim Sibbick "Just A Cruiser" wrote in message ...
