A totaly new impression of Manila

Since we get more and more english friends the blog will now start to be multilangual :) 3 different language, beat that anyone! hehe. So as u might remember from reading our blog we visited Manila about 2 weeks ago and then we found it boring and noting spesial. People hasseling us in the streets and people lying straight to your face just to get 100 peso more. But now after visiting the capitol for the 2 time a new impression and some interesting facts came to sight. Like for instance that its the headquarters for the world health organisation and that Manila is with the greater urban area is the 5th largest city in the world. And not to mention the great but quite expencive mall we found. The mall of Asia as its called is the 3 largest mall in Asia. And its big :) Enormous in fact, with and icering, 2 cinemas, theather stage, bowling, 2 game rooms, probably around 500 stores, and so much more that u canot imagine. We arrived around 14:30 and before we knew better they where closing and then the watch said 22:00. We saw alot and walked probably a couple of miles but still by the time they where closing we hadnt seen it all. :( But I quess u need a couple of days to do that sooo.... And another thing that was alittle pain in the ass where the fact that the south, east, north and west wing looked exactly the same. Just different stores thats it :( Imagine the confusion walking around there. U never knew quit where u where.

Even the day went fast we manage to do alot, and spend a couple of hundred euros. We eat sushi for dinner, the kind of sushi that comes to your table on a transporting . And it where a buffet, so we could simply just pic the once that we wanted and relaxe for a long while. :) It was nice and we paid around 12 euros each for it. Other than that we went to see if we could see a movie but nothing felt right so we skipped that and instead just went shopping. New shoes for the both of us, new shirts and so on.... :) At 10 pm when the mall closed we walked outside for a bit and took a taxi back to the airport. Surprisingly we found the people funny, polite and gave us a totally different impression then on the last visit. And since we decided to not take a hotel room we slept at the airport, witch surprisingly was fine. We got some good spots and located the sleepingbag from the backpack and fell fast asleep. Of caurse I (Julian) sleep ontop of the backpacks and with them both strapped to me in different ways. :) It where safe and we had no trouble what so ever. The only thing that was negative about that day where the fact that they charged us 300 peso pr bag we left behind at the airport so 600 all together. (about 10 euros). And that stupid airport fee that allways is a pain in the ass. :( hehe. After maby 4 hours sleep we found our self on the plain to Singapore where we have 10 hours to kill before the flight departs for the great BALI. :) Imagine the 10 hour wait will go just fine, Singapore airport has a great rumor so no problem I rekon. Am acctually looking foreword to see the Singapore Taxfree and to just mess around with children of different etnics. :) But thats it for now folks. Next time we see u we will be in surfers paradise BALI so we just might have to learn how to surf. surpise surprise. But yeah, take care and have fun. Happy bday Petsku btw. Tried to call u in the middle of the night but no answer! see you guys.
