hahaha! it's impossible! LOL. We have 7,017 islands! :)  But we do have nice bridges.. this one is perhaps the one of the most scenic and one of the top 10 longest in SE Asia (Thailand has the longest I think) and it connects the islands of Samar and Leyte - The San Juanico Bridge.

Available on day time, Sat and Sun

Second one is "Patpong" lactaed on Silom Rd.  

Available on nite time for everyday.

Hi there manjoe,

I think for every traveler around the world, especially in big cities like Manila, Bangkok, New York, etc., you have to have some common sense and be street smart. There are areas in Manila, I would not go alone at night even if I am local - the same goes that you don't go wandering alone in Pat Pong (my classmate's aunt was mugged there) or wander alone into a money changer in Kota Kinabalu (I was almost held up last July in Malaysia by people representing the government, they were trying to extort money from me just as I got out of a money changer). Whenever you are in a big city, you have to always keep your guard on, and I think it is the same for Manila and anywhere else in the world. Oh yeah, one tip, keep away from places that look seedy and you will be alright. :)

Hope that answers your questions! Check out http://tourism-philippines.com for more info. I write for that site. :)

Cheers!

May, I ask u something. Is it true like my friend told me that you shouldn't go alone in the night around Malila.

I means nothing to offence u. coz I like the night life too and I aslo know your country like the music so, do I.




Hi there manjoe,

I think for every traveler around the world, especially in big cities like Manila, Bangkok, New York, etc., you have to have some common sense and be street smart. There are areas in Manila, I would not go alone at night even if I am local - the same goes that you don't go wandering alone in Pat Pong (my classmate's aunt was mugged there) or wander alone into a money changer in Kota Kinabalu (I was almost held up last July in Malaysia by people representing the government, they were trying to extort money from me just as I got out of a money changer). Whenever you are in a big city, you have to always keep your guard on, and I think it is the same for Manila and anywhere else in the world. Oh yeah, one tip, keep away from places that look seedy and you will be alright. :)

Hope that answers your questions! Check out http://tourism-philippines.com for more info. I write for that site. :)

Cheers!
