Manila

The smell of diesel gas, beeping of car horns, continual traffic and hot tropical air.

At 9:45pm on December 17th, 2018 at the Aquino International Airport of the Philippines, we've finally landed in the country's capital - Manila.

During my time in the Philippines, I wanted to experience the full authenticity of my roots and say yes to all experiences daring or small.

Throughout a large chunk of the trip we weaved in and out of this central area visiting large attractions like the world renowned SM Megamall, the biggest mall in Asia. With traffic jams taking place at 10 o'clock at night - I truly believe that this is the city that never sleeps.
