Chinatown, Binondo, Manila
September 2012
I love this place. The sights, the smells, the vibrant colors, and the language of the streets! It's like being transported to another country.
And contrary to what people might think, I feel pretty safe walking along the bustling streets with my camera. Perhaps the people have been so used to tourists taking photos of every lamppost and Chinese Sign. One time, two street children posed to have their pictures taken and scrambled over to my side to see the photo. One of them tried to touch my LCD screen, but the other gently swatted away his hand. These children may have dirty feet and worn out clothes, but they smile as if they are on streets made of gold. :)
