Intramuros - Manila, Philippines

So I visited Intramuros, the old walled sanctuary of the Spanish (and later the Japanese). It is also the oldest district in City of Manila and much of the defesive walls are still standing even after it was shelled to death during WWII.

 

I took a little sightseeing tour of the district on one these equine creatures. His name was Rambo and almost took a dump on my shoe.

 

Our tour guide was pretty good too. He always emphasized every detail in numbers:

- 7 churches

- 7 colleges

- 14 Spanish guns

- 14 Filipino Presidents

He did this just so he could say that Intramuros also had a golf course. And the golf course has 18 Holes!

 

Good stuff!
