Manila Observations... part 2
Here are some more...
- Most of the salesladies are pretty and really friendly.
- But most department stores seems to be overstaffed. There's a salesperson in every rack, hall, & corner. Funny though the cashier counter is manned by at least four people. One to accept payment, one to give the change, one to bag the items, & one to check the receipt.
- You will be mesmerized & dizzied by almost an acre of shoes selections at SM dept store.
- They actually will give you your .50 centavo change & not give you candies!
- You'll certainly find something to eat everywhere within 100 meter radius.
- Travel time is minimum 1 hour from any point to any point.
- Everyone seems to own a Nokia N series cellphone.
- Lotsa people tote laptops in coffeehouses. Sa tingin ko pa japorms lang.
- 5% of the people at malls are there to eat. Another 5% are actually buying something. The 90% are just plain foot traffic! Yes you can see how most of the stores are empty, while people crowd at walkways & escalators.
- Everything is cheap. Only if you convert it in QAR. A hearty buffet at "Cabalen" is like QAR.20! Less than what you pay for a meal at the Certo Royale.
- 3G mobile internet service is good & affordable. That's why I can manage to post this thread habang umiinom ng SML!
- Balot is still yummy as ever & I just had my 7th. Now sells at P.13 each.
- Masarap pa rin ang inihaw na isaw sa kanto yumm yummm hehehe!
- Recruitment agencies are so full of people desperately lining up for jobs abroad & locally... Karamihan sampung agency na ang pinilahan pero wala pa ring linaw. Kaya tayo, mahalin natin ang trabaho natin at wag masyado ma homesick hehehe! Dahil, mas mapalad ang mga nasa abroad na... Ramdam ko ang hirap ng maraming kababayan natin dito.
