Afew hours in Manila, Philippines!

Hello Steemians,

I travel a great deal and have decided to share snapshots of the various places my work takes me.

First Off, Manila, Philippines. I had the opportunity to travel there late last year.

Unfortunately, I was quite literally only in Manila for a few hours after I found myself with a day to spare whilst in Hong Kong. I really enjoyed my short time there and I hope to be able to travel back sometime in the near future for a decent visit as I didn't really manage to do or see much. Manila is a lovely, albeit, sometimes scary place and well worth a visit. Manila is a vibrant clash of colors, cultures and old and new.

All photos were taken with a mobile phone so please excuses the varying quality.

Some shots from the air of the city and beautiful seafront.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport which serves Manila and surrounding areas.

The BayView Park Hotel where I spent the night

Public Transport - Manila Style - the Jepney

I wasn't brave enough to try these and stuck to Uber and it's local variant, Grab.

The Spanish left an indelible mark on Manila as evidenced by the old Spanish architecture and monuments scattered over the town.

Rizal Park

Of course Manila wouldn't be complete without Chinatown

Last but not least the famous SM Mall of Asia

I didn't manage to travel to Makati or anywhere else as I had to fly back to Hong Kong. Next time hopefully I'll manage to get to Cebu.
