[Impressions]
It was raining heavily in the morning and we were worried about what would happen, but by the time we arrived in Manila the rain had stopped and we were blessed with perfect weather for sightseeing.
In Intramuros, the streets from the Spanish colonial era remain, and I was impressed by the depth of history.
At Casa Manila, life at that time was recreated, and it felt like I had traveled back in time.
At Fort Santiago, I was impressed by the history surrounding Jose Rizal.
At the last stop, the Mall of Asia, I enjoyed shopping along with the Ferris wheel and the seaside scenery,
and it was a fulfilling holiday.
