Lets begin our adventure at divisoria market. Its the biggest wet market in the country. From there you can go any where but first we must start our day long trip with a heavy breakfast meal for a budget of 40 pesos or less than a dollar you can have beef mami with kiampong quite heavy. After our breakfast lets start our journey using the means of transportation in the country the world famous pinoy jeepney. For a fare of 8 pesos you could drop by to San Lorenzo Ruiz Basilica in ongpin street. Enjoy touring around just passing by the street of the four century old Chinese tradition in the place which is spectacular from the famous hopia ube, wanton mami, old buildings famous restaurant from the oldest ambros mundos to the new generation fast food chains. Halfway to the ongpin street you can see a store selling Chinese delicacies such as buns, kikiam and siomai but i will suggest that you buy 2 buns for 20 pesos for your afternoon snacks. far middle of the street problem will occur of curs your thirst, there's a drink called tubo juice( sugar cane juice) for 12 pesos a glass or melon juice for 5 pesos. at the end of the street there you could find dozen of jewelry store and the sta. cruz church from there you can hop-in on a jeep and stop at Lawton post office from there you can enjoy site seeing of the walled city of intramuros where you could find century old churches,schools and universities, such as colegio de San Juan DE letran. if you are a student you can avail the 470 pesos student entrance at the fort bonifacio former millitary garison of the Spanish, American and the Japanese soldier during their respective occupation in the land. you can find there the rizal shrine old garrisons, buildings, amphitheater paintings,chapel,sunken garden, Hispanic landscape and the view of pasig river in front of downtown manila.
Lunchtime, since the area is surrounded by schools the food is ranging to 35 pesos to 50 pesos maximum. after couple of minutes of break and refreshment its starting to make hot at that time. i suggest go for a walked to a mall near by at the back of manila city hall. you could passed-by the manila cathedral and San Agustin church the oldest churches in the country. Refresh your self in air condition mall for an hour and at the afternoon at about 4:30 pm start to go to Baywalk park manila where the famous manila sunset will take place. enjoy the site seeing while eating the buns that you have buy in Chinatown with a bottled soda. and if your enough why not try a musical presentation in Luneta park and see the dancing fountain. whewww! just narrating this blog makes me tired. i wonder where will my imagination will take me. caio.
