In December 2003, Cindy (my wife) and I travelled to the Philippines. We have documented our experience through the photos you see here.

The Mega Mall | Manila (29 of 194)

The biggest Filipino past time is visiting the mall. We never really figured out why malls are such a big thing for city dwellers in the Philippines. Our theory is that malls are air-conditioned making it a great spot to escape to when the weather is hot and sticky, which is almost all of the time. The particular mall pictured here (Mega Mall) is the largest in Manila (and probably in the entire country). These malls usually have the same retailers available in different areas of the mall... that's how large they are.
