Final days in Manila & Quezon City

The last 5 days was spent with family in Quezon City & Manila. We visited family & friends, and was taken sightseeing and shopping all over the place. We ate, drank, shopped, and sweated through many shirts.

We checked out Binondo, which is Manila's old Chinatown, as well as Intramuros, the old "walled city" of Manila during the Spanish era. Did some shopping at Greenhills, the Galleria, and Mall of Asia. Ate "balut" and "taho", crickets at Fely J's, and drank "lambanog" palm liquor. Endured death metal during Goth Night at Magnet night club on Halloween.

Pictures of this part of our trip can be found here: Manila

I have to give my family (especially my mom!) a HUGE thank you for making this amazing trip possible! It was so very cool to show Russell the country/city/house where I was sprouted, and my family made it all possible!
