11 November 2024 Manila: Last day in the Philippines

 




Our flight was not until midnight so we had one last day in Manila.  We slept in, had breakfast and did some mall walking.  We had a late lunch over at a peri peri chicken place.  Our late late check out was at 6 PM and we headed to the lounge for a bite.  We said our goodbyes to all the helpful staff in the Lounge area and then it was of to the airport.  We were plenty early but there was a gate open so we checked in.  The luggage was a bit over weight but at least it was not so big that it required repacking.  We saw a guy with a huge wok that had to cone out of the box and the box was reconstructed around the wok.  We sat in the lounge for hours and then went down and boarded at 11 PM.  


The chicken place claimed to be spicy


the mall was all decked out


No grooming needed for this eyebrow deficient man


There was a section in the mall for health related shops, nail salons, skin clinics, waxing, barbers and hair stylists


Many guitars 


So many guitars


The first floor was ready for a concert

A Japanese Gate


All sorts of Japanese storse and restaurants


A gaming parlor


This reminds me of the Sake containers in Japan
