🇵🇭Manila, Philippines

After the Philippines, I have gradually explored Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand... I will share Cambodia in October. Let's see if I can come back safely. I was a little scared when I first got off the plane. I was afraid of being robbed, stolen, or attacked... but it was obviously unnecessary. The people here are very friendly. I saw people barbecuing along the way. I don't know if they were eating for themselves or doing business. I was given a skewer when I passed by. Maybe everyone's impression of the Philippines is that it is old, poor and outdated... It's true! The people here may not make much money a day, so they have to enjoy themselves in the moment. The most important thing is to live happily every day. The "slums" that everyone knows are actually places for parties. As I said, life is hard, but don't be hard on yourself. Beer and skewers first It's very safe here! Even convenience stores are staffed by armed police, hotels have security checks in place, and entrance to department stores is also subject to security checks.
