Manila, things to be bewared!

Although Manila is a fascinating place, you might find that there are areas that you should better avoid. Try to stick to neighbourhoods like Malate, Makati or Ermita if you don't want to run the risk of being robbed. Moreover, one could think that the karaokes are a bit too noisy-especially when situated in the vicinity of one's hotel. Nothing to do about it-it's full of them everywhere. Perhaps buy a pair of earplugs :))
