Manila

Strolling around Manila is a different kind of experience. Its old architecture from bygone years gives the impression of being elsewhere. One lazy Saturday morning, I've decided to do a walking tour of Escolta (think Fifth Avenue in the 19th-mid 20th century) and took these photos.

I forgot the name of this building, however i do remember that its has been converted 2? times. First as a supermarket and now as a bank.



If you look closer, you'll notice that the clock is from Strasbourg and yes, it still works.

A Neo-classical building in Escolta.



What used to be an old theatre.
