Manila - Quiapo

Nao e a palavra filipina por "quiabo" como eu imaginava, mas talvez voce pode comprar arroz doce aqui, pois vendem de tudo nesta feira.

  
Quiapo is one of Manila's many street market areas. Cheap clothes, pirated DVDs, black market pharmaceuticals, watches, handtools, knives, toys, fruit, handmade baskets, anything you can think of.

  
Fresh mango may be the most popular fruit here.

  
Bob took a couple of these shots with my camera.

  
This guy is selling wire hotpot holders.

  
The keyring guys were taking a little break.

  

Crispy Chicken Ass

  

"Bunda crocante de galinha"
Mehmet had to order it, just so we could see it.

  

It's the part of the chicken where the long tail feathers grow. I nibbled just a little and yes!-- tastes like chicken! But we just couldn't get over the unappetizing quality of the word "ass," so it was a waste in the end.

  

Grilled tilapia for only about a dollar. 美味しいよね!

Boracay Part 2

Here are a few more photos from Boracay. I don't think they require any special explanation.

  
Me lembra das praias nordestinas no Brasil.
