If you are a tourist and are
planning to stay in Manila for a
short trip, here are the following things to do:
1. Wear Comfortable Clothes
Well, for starters, the Philippines is one of the hottest
places on Earth. Summer time in London or wherever you are from is the coldest
in the country. Temperature can reach up to 34̊ in a normal dry season in
Manila. If you are planning to take long walks, it is wise to dress appropriately
and make sure to wear the most comfortable shoes. Be like any local and blend
with the crowd. If you are lost, don’t hesitate to ask from a local. Filipinos
are known to be the friendliest people in the world so it wouldn’t be hard to
approach them.
2. Travel on Local Transportation
Each Asian country has its own
unique means of transportation. The Philippines also has its own to offer.
Jeepneys. Tricycles. Pedicabs. Kalesa. These are the rides that can make your
trip colorful. Prior to your ride, make sur you already have the exact amount
of fare on your hand. Prepare yourself for chaotic moments, traffic, and tons
of things to see. Learn to say “para” when you have already arrived in your
destination. To show respect, you can add “po” at the end of the word.
3. Try the local food
Filipinos have a unique taste
palette and your trip cannot be completed if you don’t try to these different
set of flavors. Plenty of food are sold in the streets (as Filipinos love to
eat, 5 different set of meals complete the day). Try balut, isaw, sisig,
chicharon bulaklak, fish/squid ball, dirty ice cream, mani, banana cue, taho,
turon, tokneneng, kwek kwek, binatog and the list goes on. Sinclair James International
