Glimpse of Intramuros

I've been in the capital so many times in the past and yet I was not able to roam around during those trips even on the reachable historical landmarks in the City of Manila. I am still afraid of getting lost in a big city, being rob or be a victim of the evildoer which I always heard and seen on TV. However, on my recent trip I took the courage to go to Intramuros and sight see (that was last Saturday). Taking only enough money for the train fare I went to the nearest LRT/MRT station which is the Ayala Station and from there I ride on my own for the first time. I thought it was complicated especially on the train route going to my destination but I asked helped from the station guard who happens to be an Ilonggo also and there I made it. Thanks to him!

Below are some of the pictures I took on the short hour that I was there..it was a shame I was not able to see all those historical landmarks since I need to get back to my hotel and catch my flight home. Next time again...

THE FORT SANTIAGO

The Rajah Sulayman Theater

I made the 2 photos looks very old. Thanks to the editing software. Hehe.

It was good to see some Spanish word right at the entrance of the comfort room.
I was not able to take for the men's CR though..the area is so small & a lot of people are coming. Hmmp! :)
