The Philippines: an Asian pride

Asia is the worlds largest continent, she houses one of the most beautiful countries known to mankind; china, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, India, and lots more. the Philippines boast of 7,641 islands, ranking it second among island countries in Asia and eighth in the world; also makes the ideal country for a well spent holiday. I imagined myself taking a flight to the Philippines during the holidays to spend sometime there I guess it would be fun. why don't join me and let's take a ride into our imaginations. my traveling bags are ready what about yours? Metro Manila here we come. The people:

I guess the first thing we should be worried about is the type of people we should be expecting ( their behavior towards foreigners). the Filipinos are basically awesome and friendly people and believe me when I say friendly, they are even to strangers and are not xenophobic, they literally accept strangers in a gathering or event, no wonder @mommykim is such a lovely and accommodating fellow. Filipinos will literally accept a foreigner into their home for a meal or entertainment. guess what, the Philippines is Nicknamed ‘the text capital city of the world' this is because of the large volume of texts sent throughout the country, most of this texts would surely be to a loved one. Let's go for a walk; now that we've gotten to know the people better, we could check into an hotel get refreshed and go for a little survey. but it won't be easy, because of the large population and number of vehicles the streets are rather busy, don't get frustrated yet the beautifully painted buses would captivate your eyes not to mention their tricycles, I guess to avoid stress @FarmGirl would show me around.

It's evening already I guess our tummy would have started grumbling, let's try their street food I guess we will get to see a bit of the night life here in manila. The night life;

Manila is not exactly the biggest city in the Philippines but it's taste is exquisite. One dish I would like to try is Isaw, it's a popular Philippine dish made particularly of the intestines of a pork or chicken, another would be 'Taho' and fried chicken skin, I'm guessing that's @Pichi28 favorite. There are many dishes to be tasted I might as well run out of money tasting them, not to worry @TheRandomRewarder to the rescue. I hope I don't get develop tummy trouble Now for a little tour;

The beaches and islands in manila are just has beautiful as thee city it self. There are many islands to visit one in particular is the Boracay island, it has a vast beach which gives you a clear view of the seas and other neighbouring islands, and a it's also a pretty good spot for sun bathing, not to mention sporting activities and mesmerizing views of wrecked ships and coral reefs, which are home for the Marine life around the island. And if you are a lover of white beaches I guess anawangin cove would be your best bet, @Kristofferquincy what beach do you think we could chill out to take a break from everything. There are tons of activities to engage in; from exploring volcanic sites to underwater diving, shipwreck exploration, underground river tour, hanging coffins and island hopping, cool right I guess I have to come back to my home country, but I wouldn't forget to take so many pictures that would make @Kennysplash super jealous. The Philippines is a wonderful place to be from it's people to it's wonderful landscape and open seas, to me it's one of the wonders of the world.
