![]() This mall is in need of a major renovation last time I was here I was here with my family for my cousins birthday when we were 7, 17 years later this place still looks so old the signage and the paint plus the metal coverings for the vents may chip or fall at any moment They also show preference towards white people which is a big problem to attract tourists. People will start doubting that they are Filipinos because how can one live on an island in the Pacific and not be tan. They should watch the movie Moana, and learn to appreciate their identity of being tan. One other point, Filipinos are going through an identity crisis where skin lightening and avoiding getting tan has resulted in preferential treatment towards light skin people. It's important to note that if planing island hopping or boat trip, not all boats are checked regularly to ensure sea worthiness, so many boats do not have radios to call for emergency assistance and if away from a cellphone tower, pray that there is a nurse or doctor who can help. ![]() Manila is typically the first place most tourists stop before heading off to one of the other islands. Traffic is similar to Los Angeles or New York. Getting transportation during closing can be a challenge because of everyone and employees going home. The mall is busy from the moment they open. Unfortunately this and attracting foreigners via dating sites has developed into a epidemic with HIV and other STDs and STIs. It's not uncommon to be approached by girls or guys looking for relationships with foreigners. When traveling to the Philippines, it's relatively safe, but there is risk of theft, especially cell phones, just as any country.Įnglish is the common generic language for countries to communicate, most Filipinos can speak English. This is a good place to get some necessary things for your vacation, souvenirs, t-shirts, and beach accessories. It's common to see a Filipina glued to her phone. Sometimes the guards give the wrong directions, customer service varies depending on the store or restaurant. ![]() ![]() There are movie theaters, the IMAX theater in nearby too, there are some carnival rides along Roxas Blvd and the place where hundreds of people wait for the sunset. Mall of Asia has just about every type of store one can think of, from fast food to upscale restaurants and the Hard Rock Cafe too. There are two more on Cebu but that's another review. Mall of Asia is the mall of the Philippines. ![]()
