Gay guide manila
Yikes! I'm leaving for Manila on Saturday. Any recommendations for things to do? Gay friendly and "regular" tourist. I only hold a couple of days, so in metro Manila would be suitable since I don't have enough time to venture outside the city.
hmm I'm not too familiar with same-sex attracted tourism here that isn't sleazy. If you're looking for something Gay-friendly, I'd suggest you try Utopia tours. There are a couple of Gay bars here and there that I know of, and they're generally in the vicinity of Malate.
On the flipside, if you're okay with general 'regular' tourism, Intramuros de Manila is a nice place to start. Its an awkward place that is trying to revive its old roots. There are lovely gardens in the area, though. You can get a cool manual to walk you through it, but I forgot his number. Nearby is the Rizal Park. On the other side of the road, near the Manila Hotel is the Film center. Imelda Marcos had that built, and it is said that she entombed tens of construction workers just to finish it in hour for the Manila Clip Festival. The place is supposedly haunted until now. Oh, and in Marikina, there's a shoe museum where about a third or a quarter of Imelda's shoes are
Let’s just get this out the way. Manila is crowded. And hot. And polluted. And there are malls. A lot of them. But the way we see it, that’s a small price to pay for the gigantic payout. The “Pearl of the Orient Seas” sobriquet is fitting, since the shelled mollusc doesn’t observe like much from the outside, but inside an iridescent gem awaits to be discovered—if you’re willing to exert some strive to pry it unlock to get at it. This Asian megapolis is not for the faint of heart, so if exploring the world’s most densely populated city scares you, it’s probably not your place. From war to natural disaster, Manila’s been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times in its history, some say more than even Troy. These misfortunes have only served to strengthen the joie de vivre and spirituality of its people. Manila exudes immense energy and creativity. Manileño culture, diet and language is a tasty hodgepodge of Chinese, Malay, Arabic, Spanish and American influences. Considered one of the most gay-friendly countries in Asia, the Filipino people are overwhelmingly pro-gay in their attitudes. Manila has irrefutable same-sex attracted creds. True fact: the queer subculture has its own secret slang language
