Philippines 2007

On my trip to Hong Kong I had to head over to Manila for a couple of days to meet with the VP of a University to discuss some stuff. I think that the Philippines should be a great place to vacation! There are so many islands and it's so tropical. Lining one of the larger boulevards there were ficus trees that were more than ten feet wide. Really incredible. If there were a tree like that in any town in the states it would be a real attraction, but in Manila it's just another tree, so I can imagine what the jungle is like there. Too bad I didn't get the chance to head out of Manila. It's not the cat's meow. Anyway, it wet my appetite for the country, so I hope I have a chance to get back there soon. And see some islands. One thing though, you know the reason you never hear of any Philippine restaurants? I think that's because it's really not that good. I won't comment further to keep the post positive! ; )
