Mannila, What is it like? Options

What is it like?

[--Kaged--]

full of traffic
bad pollution (people always using a handkerchief to cover their nose), loud
bad unorganized drivers
lots of poverty (moment u get off the airport, you'll see what i mean haha)
lots of slums (my family lives in a rich area so i really didn't get to see this often as i wanted, except the ones along the highway).

but it's also good for shopping. there are tons of huge malls that have lots of stuff inside. and they have like a theme park, water park, historic site, etc.

if you're a nature-lover, manila is not the place for you. it's very congested with sporadic trees.

aroceros park is a piece of land, it's historic. there are lots of trees there and by historic, i mean that the chinese used to settle here before they found binondo. right now, the government of manila's planning to build a school right inside the park. many are naturally protesting this move since trees will be cut down.

Cool. Im not much of a nature person. Im more of a city person. Im one of those people who cant live in the queit countryside but have to live in a big busy town haha. Does anyone know how much computers or laptops are there? because they are really expensive in the Uk and i might be able to get cheap deals over in Manilla.

oh but keichi, being an urban dweller doesn't automatically equate to not being a nature-lover, no? i mean, you may prefer to live in a rural community without trees and such. i mean, even new york city has a central park, a haven for many

are you in the US? buy your laptop there. it's cheaper i'm sure.

You got to have first the correct spelling of the name !
It is Manila.


Manila had a lot of trees, but for most westerners they still have very few.

There is also Luneta or Rizal Park with lots of trees!~

don't just believe in what other people tell you completely. see it for yoursefl, i mean i love manila and though it is like some people say full of these and that. i miss manila so much, eventhough i'm here in what many people call paradise, i miss manila and manila have many things that many places can't have and can't substitute.

plus they got loads of chics and hearty warm people, my advice is see it, don't just base your decision solely on what you get here bra.
