If you are adventurous take a 7 hours ride to Baguio. Bus leaves almost every hour. Baguio is their summer city aka Genting minus the casino. Ayam go there every year.

Manila super boring to me.

For easier travel around Manila, you can use motorcycle taxi apps like Move It (Grab's motorcycle service) or Joyride. It’s generally safe to use motorcycle taxis in Manila as the cars are so slow, serious accidents are rare, most accidents are small bumps or scratches only. The fare is a lot cheaper than grabcar too, like 1/3 of grabcar fare.

But if you are using iOS, it might be slightly hassle to download the apps due to locked to phillippines Apple ID.

I remembered it took 2 hour to get to one place. Then I went to top of the building and can see the hotel I was staying and it was about 20km away probably  laugh.gif

During traffic jam I could remember the same man walking passed my taxi several times  biggrin.gif

It's even more frustrating during rainy days, the travel time and fare will be times two, and still have to be lucky enough to get any taxi or Grabcar biggrin.gif
