 Manila's Chinatown Jan 06, 2009
Though it can be difficult to get to without a driver, exploring Chinatown can be a great afternoon experience. We headed here to seek food and to wander the streets a little see what Chinatown in the Philippine was like (being from Vancouver and San Francisco we had pretty significant Chinatown's of our own to compare it to!).
The streets can be narrow and confusing but there are sights and sounds in every direction to experience. Stalls line narrow lanes and alleys, and curious fruits and, my personal favourite, soup-in-a-bag's are stacked in stand after stand. Try your hand at an unknown food of your choice and let yourself get lost, and find your way out! We stopped briefly at a small restaurant to have lumpia and a Coke - a rough $0.40  Part of the The Philippines: round 3 travel blog

I spend 2 1/2 hour in Chinatown and didn't even see a fraction so it's definately worth a visit.
Anyway yesterday Josh recomended that I would pay Intramuros a visit on my way back from Chinatown. However Europeans doesn't respond very well to the asian climate...or well… How do theese people eat? |

I know that they go for 100 in Chinatown but this one was much better then anything I've seen in Chinatown. So the price would fit me. Again like the tshirts, I dont even get a noname watch at that price in Scandinavia so the fact that it's a copy product… Makati & Mall of Asia! |
