    Welcome to the Philippines! Manila is the capital city, but it and Quezon city are just part of what is called "Metro Manila" which is made up of over a dozen smaller "cities" (which were actually towns taken from adjacent provinces, but now host the metro's huge urban sprawl). enjoy your stay! stick to bottled water when eating in "carinderias" or the outdoor restos ;)

    All good Sly, you smash your food as I do. Every scoop of rice has to have a bit of sauce! (Sabao?) Glad that you discovered Laing, my fav veggy dish you can find everywhere. Cool you had a good time in the NCR but jump on a Partas Bus and head to San Fernando, La Union. 10 minutes from the beach called San Juan. Great hang and you can have a surf lesson from my Bro's on Urbiztondo Beach. Ask for Nano.

Thus seeing fresh youtube travel content would be something more to look forward to.
