"Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know ya, where I stand"

manila: part II

this time a b&w batch to make it more realistic and bring some stronger contrast..

manila: part I

welcome to streets of Manila.. the pics below present a very biased view since I was looking for some interesting
subjects and it may leave you with a wrong impression.. in fact, the city itself has been recently developing very fast and
some of its areas remind more of hk central than a ghetto.. but this is much more interesting, isn't it?

'feierabend' in chueng chau

southside

one may think that in this part of the world dogs are a great culinary delight. As a matter of fact, not too far away to the
north, in the Guangdong province, ppl eat " whatever is alive and moving with its back upward" (citing my Chinese friend).

HK seems to be much more westernized.. not only ppl feel rather disgusted with eating dogs' meat, dress them up in some
funky dog wear, but even share tables in restaurants..
