METRO MANILA --- The difference between the LRT & MRT

WE WILL BEGIN OUR TRAVEL IN METRO MANILA, the Capital of he Philippines.

In this place where you will find tall buildings/ skycrapers, medium size and  huge malls everywhere, community stores (sari-sari stores as what we call them), various public transport (tricycles, jeepneys, buses, cabs), and new and newest car models  --- all of these rule the highway! I almost forgot, the Light Rail Transits (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT).  I think of the LRT as a train for Middle Class to Lower Class citizens, and MRT for the Lower Class because of the narrow space it has inside, you would always squeeze yourself in and out of the train among those people refusing to leave by the train door because of the difficulty of getting out when they reach their station. While LRTs are quite spacious and quite comfortable, I would wait until the train stops and the doors open before I began to walk out.

MY FAVORITE PLACES IN THE PHILIPPINES!

Honestly, I have only visited a few places but have not been to so many places in the Philippines that are worth remembering.  I believe that a lot of foreigners have fallen in love with my country when they visited.  Maybe it is one among the Top Ten in their list that they are going to visit again and again.

As I was watching TLC Channel, I am very proud that the hosts of the shows like  ___________, _______________, ____________ have complimented the Philippines so much not only due to the places that they have been to but also because of the FOOD!

Let me take you to an entire tour of the Philippines, some which I have experienced, the rest, well... based on what I have been hearing from tourists who have written their travel experiences in their blogs.  But maybe I can be of so much help because I am a very resourceful person that I will give you the lists of even the hidden places that not all tourists have been to YET.  Who knows, you might be the first to step on it. :)
