I have visited Metro Manila several times and have even stayed for a month but have not really explored the place. One reason is that I am so coward to try to commute and another is that I am simply afraid to be mugged. Being a girl from the province, I have seen Manila as a fast-paced environment, which I could not keep up.
On my latest visit to the Metro, I have a vacant afternoon so I called my cousin to accompany me to walk around the city or at least visit one tourist spot. I warned him that we should commute all the way and not ride a taxi so that I can master my way around.
