They always say, “Don’t stop in Manila, just pass through on the way to anywhere else in the Philippines”. In this Manila vlog I'm not taking that advice!

I spent a week in Manila determined to find out what this huge mega-city can offer.

In this video I’ll head to Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world and my favourite part of Manila. I’ll also step over to the district of Quiapo next door, to see some incredibly mixed local life.

I’ll show you all sides of Binondo and Quiapo - Churches, a mosque, a beautiful Taoist temple. Traffic, people, lively markets, poverty and affluence. Oh yeah, and they’ll be some amazing Chinese food of course, it’s pretty special here!

It’s quintessential Manila, and while a little edgy it parts, it’s well worth exploring.

Come with me and discover why Manila is worth visiting!
