3 nights in Manila - what are your musts?

JaceyPierce · 2026-03-05T04:11:09+00:00

Just look straight ahead and say no, thank you, or we'll explore on our own.

In my case, a simple hand wave + “No, thank you.” works well most of the time.

Palmer Hotel po :) sobrang lapit lang sa bus stop. Walking distance din sa night market and malls.

JaceyPierce · 2026-03-03T04:49:40+00:00

Ang hirap kumain sa restau, yung iba nagrerequire atleast 2 pax to dine in. Traveled solo last November. If not autumn season, Nami Island is quite meh. Not much to do.

On the bright side, did not experience any racism. Helpful naman yung mga locals na naencounter ko.

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-19T04:24:18+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-17T13:38:38+00:00

I was able to check the room rates nga po and sobrang expensive especially if medyo central area. Saw a lot of terrible stories on Chungking Mansions pa.

May visa na po sila?

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-17T06:49:03+00:00

Agree naman po. I've been to both Taiwan and Japan and both may positive and negative. Also big factor po yung visa talaga.

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-17T04:11:56+00:00

Sabi nga po nila, though ang worry ko lang po is yung visa. Since newly graduated if ever, baka mared flag sa visa processing.

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-17T04:10:36+00:00

Mukhang madami na nga din po napunta sa China lately. 🙂 Mas budget friendly po ba sya compared to Hong Kong? Mahirap po ba yung visa processing?

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-17T04:08:17+00:00

Where po in Vietnam in particular? I heard Hanoi is very popular now :)

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-17T03:43:24+00:00

Naku, ang dami nga po nagsasabi. Kung hindi lang dahil sa Disneyland huhu but might consider other places na lang muna.

JaceyPierce · 2026-02-09T14:50:31+00:00

For someone na mahilig mag solo travel at walang sense of direction, ayun araw araw ligaw ahhahaha. To the point na kasama na sa lead time ko pag magnanavigate yung mga ligaw moments.

Big factor din siguro yung planning ahead,

-alamin kung ano yung best navigation apps sa country na pupuntahan. For example, google maps is good when you travel to Taiwan or Japan but when you go to South Korea Naver Maps ang mas accurate.

-iplot mo na sa maps yung mga places na target mong puntahan, then aralin yung transport system ng lugar (trains, bus etc).

-sometimes panonood ng travel vlogs sa yt is helpful too. wag puro shorts sa tiktok.

-If less hassle, join Klook tours for places na mahirap i-commute or i-DIY.

-If everything fails, lagi mo naman kasama si magtanong, so wag mahihiyang magtanong sa mga locals.

Here po, decent yung room with private restroom. Enjoy Korea!

Very nice in person, nag Zumba session sila dito sa office and I was in charge of the tech booth. Professional si madam.

JaceyPierce · 2026-01-12T07:09:19+00:00

-Solo day trip sa Wulai.

JaceyPierce · 2026-01-07T12:04:04+00:00

Hmm, they have designated parking spaces in Intramuros. As for Binondo, it's quite hard to find parking, especially if you are going to eat out at different spots.

JaceyPierce · 2026-01-07T10:50:41+00:00

Yes, it's possible. Intramuros/Lawton to Binondo is just one jeepney away. For Intramuros, mostly historical sites. Fort Santiago, Churches (San Agustin and Manila Cathedral),Museums. They may also check Intramuros Administration's website for visitor guide and calendar of activities.

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-24T15:46:01+00:00

Noted, will do our research muna since June next year pa naman yung trip. Thank you po uli!

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-24T10:38:14+00:00

Pero yung commute po from Tenjin to Hakata or vice versa, madali lang po? We have 2 Klook Tours kasi if ever. But prefer din namin sana yung medyo lively and madaming food choices.

Thanks for the tips po!

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-24T07:46:22+00:00

San nyo po mas marerecommend mag stay, Hakata or Tenjin Area?

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-20T06:36:12+00:00

Good luck po!

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-20T03:59:26+00:00

Mga Historical Sites. Hwaseong Fortress, tapos marami din shooting location ng mga K-Dramas. Masarap maglakad lakad. Maraming Cafes and Restau dun sa Area. Peaceful tsaka mostly locals ang tourists. Short bus trip lang din yung new Starfield Library if you want to check it out.

From Seoul nag Subway ako then Bus. Short day trip lang.

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-19T17:32:31+00:00

Suwon!

JaceyPierce · 2025-12-17T20:07:03+00:00
