McDonald's in Chinatown and jewelry shop girls

I had to see what the spaghetti was like. Not bad, but unfortunately the sauce was just a better version of a relatively crappy Phillipine style red sauce that I had at my hotel restaurant.

I think these girls were MJ and Jane, L-R. Very nice. They worked the counter of one of the many small jewelry shops in Chinatown. I think if I ask MJ to marry right there, it would've been a done deal. It was hard to leave such a strong fan base behind.

Notice the four desks in this little shop? This is how business in done in Chinatown.

Same selection as Home Depot in a tiny shop.

Intramuros in Manila - Old Town

Prison cell in the old fort.
View across the harbor from the fort in Intramuros.
View from inside of Manila House, and recreation of an old Intramuros building complex. They have a replica of an old home - the whole place was apparently destroyed several times, lastly in WWII - with amazing flooring, wall decoration, furntiure, etc. No photos allowed. But shows how the elites lived in 1850. Pretty swank. But I'll take relative poverty, a nice hot western bath and antibiotics circa 2010, thank you very much.
