Manila Ocean Park is the ultimate treat for kids in Manila. Aside from being educational, parents and children can bond while watching the different fish in the big aquariums. At Manila Ocean Park, my fear of the underwater instantly vanished that I wanted to snorkel right there (if only it were possible). I would have loved to take gazillion photos for souvenirs, but finding a good opening was impossible. The crowd was just indescribable although I managed to get some few ones for you to check out.

Manila will not be Manila if one of these will not be present: the crazy jeepney driver, who drives like a maniac; the big malls and fancy restaurants, juxtaposed with the " turo-turos " (or point-point) because you order the dish by pointing at them; the shanties, for each have a story to tell; the homeless, who can only call the streets their home; the struggling employee, who live hand-to-mouth; the entrepreneur, the student, the promdi .
