Manila is a metropolis, it makes it fast enough consideration when trying to move from a "city" to another: that either by metro (3 lines for all Metro Manila!) or taxis, it is easy to 1am, but hey, it's the rhythm Philippines!
L’université est dans Quezon City, on habite dans Marikina, et dimanche, on a décidé d’aller faire une petite journée dans le plus grand mall (euh, un centre commercial parisien puissance 10) d’Asie (et le troisième au monde après deux autres aux USA) : Mall of Asia.
Comment décrire un mall ? Difficile à dire, c’est en même temps le lieu de rencontre de tous les habitants de Manille le week end, un endroit où on peut tout trouver, et un monstre architectural, mais je crois que le Mall of Asia est particulièrement spectaculaire, on peut même y trouver une patinoire avec des machines à artificial snow!
It is located along Manila Bay, so the sea (although nobody would dare put a toe in the water at this point given the color!), it's pretty nice to see the sea in this huge city!
We then went for a turn to China Town, Chinatown as its name suggests, the counterfeit paradise (or Luis Vuitton bags Channel 3 euros, and again ...) and tshirt at 1 euro! It's pretty funny to go into buildings that look like a real Egyptian souk!
What is less funny thing to lose to go, because taxis unwilling to turn their meters, we were sure of getting ripped off, we wanted to take a jeepney (a jeep which can take 20 tunnée person), which is actually a kind of collective taxi, means of transport less expensive here. The jeepneys do not follow a single path through against pre defined (and written on their body), we must know where we go and where to take them, but especially not to ask directions! The Filipino, of what we have seen can not read a map, let alone explain a way, they generally give the wrong direction! So we took a tricycle
that would lead us toward the jeepneys, which proved not to be good, we has finally come down and take a taxi to go to 7! A long day full of emotion!
So much for today
