Random Manila Facts

Clearly I'm totally overdue with blogging! This is the shopping centre just over the road. Powerplant Mall. I need to get a picture of the piano, but people can sit and play to their heart's content. It adds such ambience to your shopping experience.

There's also a few Starbucks in the area. Everyone walks around in the evenings and goes for late coffee or frapuccino in my case :-) It's so wonderful just being able to walk freely at night. Totally awesome!

This was the smallest bag of Jasmine rice I could find at our local grocery store, Rustan's. It's incredible how much rice there is here! I've got a photo of the rice isle in the shop further down.

The duck lives in another shopping centre about 5 minutes away. The next photo is basically a picture of his home!?! Such a stunning shopping centre. Looks more like a garden than anything else. All the restaurants open onto the garden and spill over into different parts of it. Totally stunning to sit under the lanterns and have supper - as long as you have an outdoor air con nearby...

This is the isle of rice I mentioned earlier.
