This is one of them Suanna pictures.  I have no idea when she took it.

Intramuros has cool Colonial architecture.  Though much of it was bombed to rubble by the Americans, this area has seen a lot of restoration.

This is another Suanna-cam shot.

Ahoy.

Intramuros has several huge Catholic churches.  Since it was early January, the Nativity scene was still up.

The Vehicles
of Manila

In the distance, you can see a cool armored car.  Manila is generally overflowing with bizarre modes of transport.

BMX bike side-car taxi.

In action.

Bald Tires.

Upgrades include the umbrella roof...

...and a motor!

Jeepney Bus

These buses are based on the original American Jeep.  They are all over the city.  Each one gets decked out with unique funky ju-ju.

This one sports the BMW radiator grill, the faux industrial strength winch assembly and the Pegasus hood ornament.

God is Love.

This one is made by Ferrarri.

On our last night in Manila, we went to the Hobbit House.  They have a wealth of 70s and 80s amateur Gygax-esque Tolkeinata.  But the kicker is... all the waiters are dwarves and midgets.  Seriously.
