Even though the temperature is in the 80's, the thought of going to the beach right now seems ridiculous to people here. It's too cold. Everyone tells me that I must go to the beaches in March, which is the beginning of their summer. I'm trying to imagine just how hot it gets in March.
Since the Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands, it made sense to visit the Ocean Park in Manila (www.manilaoceanpark.com) to learn about the sea life. My favorite part was the jellyfish exhibit because I still remember researching the Portuguese Man-of-War for a project when I was younger. I also saw live shark eggs and a sea lion show. The park includes a spa where you put your feet in a little pool and fish come up to eat the dead skin on your feet. Apparently it only tickles, but I didn't feel like trying it.
