Tour in Manila, Philippines (2015)

After I visited my relatives in Caloocan City, Philippines, I went to Manila on September 26, 2015 by riding at Light Railway Transit (LRT) from Monumento to Central Station. The LRT stations as well as the trains are always crowded and full especially during rush hours and raining periods. Before, we used coins but right now, we are using cards. The entry and exit areas are now electronic and computerized.

After I get off from Central Station, I started to walk along Arroceros Avenue up to Manila City Hall. The sidewalks right now are crowded because of sidewalk vendors and street food vendors. The pedestrian underpass is now beautiful because the tiles are new and newly painted walls and ceilings. There are many small stores at the pedestrian underpass.

Because of heavy rains, I was not able to have a tour at the other places in Manila. I went to Intramuros which is the central part of Manila. I went to the brick walls of Intramuros. The place is beautiful and historical look. Along Muralla Street, there are many small restaurants and carinderias for the students of Mapua Institute of Technology, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Lyceum of the Philippines, and Letran. When I was a student of Mapua, I used to have a lunch or dinner at the carinderias there.

Intramuros is also a tourist attraction or spot especially to foreign visitors and tourists. You will see caleza or horse driven vehicle which is the vehicle of the people during Spanish Period.
