14. Pasay Seafood Market
Inside, the market is relatively clean, with very fresh fish and a high turnover during peak hours. The market is tiny, with only four or five aisles crammed with the freshest seafood available from near and far. It is probably less than 1000 sqm.
15. Riding The Jeepney
The jeepney rose from the ashes of war. After American troops successfully reclaimed the country in the 1940s, they started selling their military jeeps to the locals. These buyers, in turn, elongated the jeeps to accommodate more people. Nowadays, the vehicles are government-regulated. Their paint jobs, however, vary according to the artistic tastes of their owners. A look at the drawings on these vehicles gives you a snapshot of Philippine artistic and cultural sensibilities. More than their artistic value, these unique vehicles are like minibuses that ply a particular set route. However, you may pretty much disembark at any point along your journey (except in "no unloading" zones) by saying the word "para po," which roughly means “please stop.”
