It has been three years since I moved here in Manila but I have never taken the initiative to check out the cultural sights in the city. If I were in a different city or country, I would have immediately checked out whatever there is to see since day one no matter how small or mundane they may be. But here in Manila, I never had the interest to go sightseeing.
When our Computer Science professor asked our class to visit the National Museum as part of our assignment, it made me realized how ignorant I am of my own country's historical sights. From the outside, the building does not look so bad compared to most of the unmaintained structures in the city.
Afterwards, we decided to go to Binondo, the Chinatown in Manila. We dropped by the shop selling Lord Stow's Egg Tart. It's been ages since I last tasted this. For lunch, we went to President Teahouse. They serve the yummiest dimsum!
