This morning Carlo and I went on a walking tour in Manila. Traffic to and from the tour was awful because everyone is getting ready for Christmas. It’s worse than traffic in places like Chicago or LA because there are basically no lanes and the ones that are labeled don’t really matter. I'm so impressed that Carlo maneuvers in this traffic with such ease. I’ve tried to show you traffic with a couple of photos taken within seconds of each other. I hope you can see the sign that says “Accident Prone Area”.
The tour itself provided a great summary of the history of Manila. For those of you visiting Carlo in a few months, I highly recommend you go on the same tour. I learned to what extent the culture has been heavily influenced by the Vatican, China, Japan, US and Spain (and not in that order). Part of the tour included a ride, so I attached a photo of that as well.
