Who are the Filipinos? Learn and understand the locals while walking, eating, and exploring Manila, the Philippines' metropolis. Once known as the “Pearl of the Orient”, this city is rapidly changing. Ride a ferry (subject to availability) going to the one of the most busiest streets of Manila- Quiapo. Visit Quiapo Market and Binondo’s Chinatown and see how the new emerges between the old, in all areas of life. As it’s architecture, Manila's street food is a showcase of the city’s different visitors throughout history. That history is best visible at the old city of Intramuros. Strolling through the small streets might feel like traveling back in time. This area suffered heavy damage during World War Two, but the Filipinos' hospitality and smile remains one that cannot be destroyed.
