Actually, it’s hard for anybody to walk in Manila, at least in this area. The sidewalks are individually styled in front of each establishment, not level or linked. They clearly belong to small businesses, parked cars, motorcycles, potted plants and posts. Pedestrians crossing a street are totally invisible to vehicles. Don’t try it.
So, desperate for exercise, C and I joined a health club—you can look into its aerobics room from our window. “Slimmers World” is a spa and workout gym with the vibes of a disco. Should I try the Botox?

We are reading about your adventures all four of us together. What fun! What wonderfully evocative and funny observations. More please!
ReplyDeleteSam adds, "I like kindergarden. I like singing the songs there and the number three playground."
Hana adds: "That [Manila] sounds like the craziest place in the world. All the people escorting you everywhere and stuff! Please post a picture of one of the pedicabs so I can put it up in Quincento [Hana's room/kingdom]."
