Manila

Manila is the capital city of the Phillipines, meaning that like any other metropolitan place, it is filled with huge amounts of diversity in experience, food, and people. But, Manila is NOT like any other city! There are mixtures of local, Filipino culture and European, Spanish influence on every corner. Eating can be done at famous Filipino fastfood chain, Jollibee, or at the thousands of food stands that litter the streets. An off-beat Manila activity may be volunteering to clean up Manila Bay, where you can meet locals and discuss the turbulent history of the city, all while doing a good deed.
