I asked from where can get EDSA LRT Station bound Jeepney? Filipino lady in money changer (Exchange rate, 1 USD=47 Peso) smiled and said, go out side of airport.
Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. Jeepneys were originally made from U.S. military jeeps left over from World War II. The word jeepney is a portmanteau word – some sources consider it a combination of "jeep" and "jitney", while other sources say "jeep" and "knee", because the passengers sit in very close proximity to each other.
Saw 2 Jeepney, pilot of both said not Jeepney take shuttle bus, was standing next to Jeepneys.
Again another polite Filipino, bus conductor helped me to stack my suitcase inside of shuttle bus.
From Airport Terminal 2 to EDSA LRT, costs me Peso 12.
Manila is crowded, traffic, narrow road, every where only jeepneys, roads not clean and slums.
Manila can be anything but not a tourist destination.
Caught Buendia bound metro, Yellow line, from Taft Avenue MRT station (Ticket Peso 16), 2 minutes walking distance from EDSA LRT station.
Taft Avenue station was crowded, ticket vending machine not working.
Our hostel 5 minutes walking distance from Buendia MRT station.
Here everything very very expensive.
Most of the shop close shutter by 5 PM, that includes money exchanger. Most of the restaurant stop serving food after 6:30 PM.
Every where only fried chicken or fried pork or fried egg, and fied peanuts with fried garlic.
No veg food. Pitched to owner cum cook of 1 restaurant, another polite Filipino. located near our hostel and she cooked and served cucumber curry (Peso 20) and rice (Peso 10) and Calamansi juice.
Calamansi looks like lemon, tastes like mix of orange (sweet) and lemon(sour).
