The Philippines is an amazing country

The Philippines is an amazing country. This album has a bit of everything. Photos of amazing malls, streets and the beach (you should know that you have to pay to enter the beach as they are private). I have been, and they are very good, but watch out for jellyfish, because there are quite a few, so don't be surprised if you see people bathing in clothes lol. However, you can sleep at the beach as many beaches have small apartments for rent. It is very typical for people to have a small business in the basement of their home and they are very curious because you can use transport ranging from

A jeepney ride to a tricycle to taxis and buses, but on the other hand you integrate a little more in the lives of Filipinos.

Walking through Manila

Walking around Manila is a different experience. Its natives are friendly and open, generally you do not feel unsafe when walking around. The part of the historic center, Intramuros, which I visited, is 100% safe. I recommend keeping an eye on pickpockets and closing the bags (and this was recommended by Filipino friends in Japan), but really I had no problem.

Monster or mermaid?

Monstre ou sirène ?

Manille, surpeuplée, chaotique et polluée, cultive les superlatifs, paradoxes et bizarreries. D’un côté, la capitale des Philippines rebute, de l’autre, elle ensorcelle. Visite d’un monstre à deux têtes, boule à facettes, surtout le soir venu. Que voir ? Entre tout et rien, mon cœur balance…
Manila, crowded, chaotic and polluted cultivated superlatives, paradoxes and quirks. On the one hand, the Philippine capital repels the other, she bewitches. Visit a two-headed monster, mirror ball, especially at night. What to see? Between everything and nothing balance my heart ...

He estado dos años seguidos en ...

He estado dos años seguidos en Filipinas en el 2008 y este 2009,y volveré a repetir sin duda,perdindome en una de sus 7000 ISLAS,su gente encantadora,su clima,paisajes,gastronomía y cultura la diferenicia de sus hermanas del triángulo Asiático.Un nsueño perdido por encontrar ese es mi titulo de este sin par destino. Personalmente he estado en Manila,donde deberias alojarte en el centro,solo en el centro Makati,donde no hay malos rollos,y fuera del intenso tréfico.Personalmente calidad precio me alojé en el Hotel Intercontinenatal,si quieres màs lujo tendrias que ir al Sangrila pero es muy caro.No dejes de visitar Intramuros y la casa del Gobernador Español,así como el templo de San Ignacio,toda esta parte Histórica me recuerda a mi bien amada Sevilla(de España) y a nuestro pasado incacabado en esa zona.Luego la zona de la Cruz de Magallanes y el Centro Makati,es pintoresco.Pero no pierdas tu tiempo en Manila quedate lo minmo,lo mejor la ISLA DE BORACAY,LA ISLA DE CEBU y LA ISLA DE BOHOL Borcay es como irte a Nice,una Isla llena de contrastes,5km llenos de playas paradisicas,agua cristalina,y un corredor de Isla que bordea numerosos Hoteles y restaurantes,ambiente informal,de lujo o mochillero todo junto y revuleto.....De un Hotel LUJURIOSO como Sangri-la o Mango ray un Hotel frontal al mar y de precio aceptable dirigido por un Suizo,te aconsejo este Hotel familiar http://www.Mango-ray.Php.Visita la playa de Bocca Chica donde Sofia Loren hizo una película en los años 60.Excepcional playa,sin duda una de las mejores que he visto en mi vida,se hacen collares solo con las conchas de esa playa de 2 km. CEBU màs al Sur,a 600 km de la capital,es una Isla caotica,llenade contrastes,tiene la extensión de la península Ibérica,esta todo muy Virgen,yo me aloje en el Hotel MARRIOT y ni te aoncsejo otro,si solo uno FRONTALPLAGE con su casino distinguido.Hay muchos pueblecitos y playas por descubrir.Esta ISla es una verdadera aventura. BOHOL situada al Sur de Cebu,(creo 80 km)se accede con Ferry te aconsejo el Super Cat,ahorras tiempo y dinero frente a la lentitud de otros medios de transoporte.Me aloje en la Isla de Panglao,de fina arena y sol abrasador,paradisico,me recordo a República Dominicana,pero la playa en si, es mejor la de Boracay en cuanto a templanza de fondo,quietud del mar y profunidad.POR LA MAÑANA VES A MILES DE ESTRELLAS DE MAR en el suelo de la playa y puedes ver los delfines a simple vista.No dejes la Isla antes de visitar el famoso mono miniatura Traiser,y las montañas de Chocolat Hill,algo grandioso y sublime como única herencia de la geología. En el mundo. Si quieres un viaje placentero,lleno de aventura y en un pai emergente no dudes de visitar Filipinas te sorprenderá Espero poder aconsejarte mejor en mis proximos destinos. Un saludo
I spent two years in a row in the Philippines in 2008 and in 2009, and will repeat undoubtedly perdindome one of its 7000 islands, its lovely people, its climate, scenery, cuisine and culture of her sisters the diferenicia Asian Triangle. A lost nsueño find that's my title of this unparalleled destination. Personally I've been in Manila, where you should stay in the center, just in central Makati, where there are no hard feelings, and out of intense tréfico.Personalmente money stayed at the Hotel Intercontinenatal, if you want more luxury you would have to go to Sangrila but very caro.No sure to visit Intramuros and the Spanish Governor's house, as well as the Church of San Ignacio, this whole historical part reminds me of my beloved Sevilla (Spain) and our past in that zona.Luego incacabado the Near the Cross of Magellan and Makati Center, is pintoresco.Pero not waste your time on what minmo Stay Manila, the best Boracay Island, the island of Cebu and Bohol Island Borcay is like go to Nice, an Island full of contrasts, full of beaches 5km paradisicas, clear water, and a corridor that skirts Island numerous hotels and restaurants, casual atmosphere, luxury or all together and revuleto mochillero ..... From a luxurious Hotel and Shangri-La or Hotel Mango Ray a full sea acceptable price and run by a Swiss, I recommend this family hotel http://www.Mango-ray.Php.Visita Bocca Chica beach where Sofia Loren did a film in the 60s. Exceptional beach, definitely one of the best I've seen in my life, necklaces are made with only the shells of the 2km beach. CEBU Further south, 600 km from the capital, is a chaotic Island, llenade contrasts, is the extension of the Iberian Peninsula, this all very Virgin, I stayed at the Marriott Hotel and dont aoncsejo another, if only one FRONTALPLAGE with its casino distinguido.Hay many villages and beaches descubrir.Esta Island is an adventure. BOHOL located south of Cebu, (think 80 km) is accessed with the Super Ferry Cat advise, save time and money compared to slow transoporte.Me other means of staying in Panglao Island, with fine sand and scorching sun , paradisico reminded me of the Dominican Republic, but the beach itself is better in terms of Boracay background temperance, quiet sea and profunidad.POR MORNING SEE THOUSANDS OF STARFISH on the floor of the beach and you can see the dolphins simply let vista.No Island before visiting the famous miniature monkey Traiser, and mountains of Chocolat Hill, something grand and sublime as the only legacy of geology. In the world. If you want a pleasant trip, full of adventure and an emerging pai feel free to visit the Philippines will amaze you better hope I can advise my next destinations. Greetings

The place of arrival in the Philippines is usually the capital: Manila.

El lugar de llegada a Filipinas suele ser la capital: Manila.

Excellent
La ciudad no te dejará indiferente, A pesar de no ser el punto más exótico de toda Filipinas, merece la pena dedicar un par de de días a conocerla. La mejor forma para moverse es en tren, pero ten en cuenta que no llega a todos los puntos o lugares de interés por lo que tendrás que combinarlo con los autobuses.

The Philippines is an incredible...

Die Philippinen ist ein unglaubliches...

Die Philippinen ist ein unglaubliches Land. In diesem Album ist ein bisschen von allem. Fotos von den unglaublichen Einkaufszentren, die man dort vorfindet, die Strassen, der Strand. Aber das solltet ihr wissen, dass man Eintritt für den Strand bezahlen muss, da diese privat sind, aber man darf da auch übernachten, denn an vielen Stränden gibt es kleine Wohnungen zu mieten. Ich war in einer und sie sind in Ordnung. Man sollte jedoch auf die Quallen achten, denn es gibt dort sehr viele. Wundert euch also nicht, wenn ihr Leute mit Kleidung schwimmen seht - hihi. Es ist typisch, dass die Menschen dort kleine Geschäfte in den Lokalen ihrer Häuser haben. Der Transport ist auch sehr kurios, denn man kann mit einem Jeepney bis hin zu einem Dreirad fahren, aber natürlich gibt es auch die üblichen Taxis und Busse. In den anderen jedoch integriert man sich etwas mehr in das Leben der Philipinen.

I was in one and they are fine. However, one should pay attention to the jellyfish, because there are very many. So Do not be surprised if you see people swim with clothes - hihi. It is typical that the people there have small shops in the places of their homes. Transportation is also very strange, because you can go to a tricycle with a Jeepney up, but of course there are the usual taxis and buses. In the other, however, to integrate a little more into the life of the Philippines.
