"With its notorious traffic and often baffling urban planning, manila, the capital of the Philippines, feels impenetrable even to the seasoned traveler. But beneath all that chaos and confusion lies a city that might just be southeast Asia’s most underrated capital. With upstart creative communities, a world class food scene, and burgeoning arts and design industries, manila thrives through imagination, resourcefulness, and dogged optimism, a city in constant flux with a capacity for reinvention borne out of its tangled histories." -- Amazon.
