I will be in Manila early July for a brief long weekend holiday. I don't think I have time to visit Corrigador so Iwas wondering what places are recommended I might visit in the locally to see WW2 sites, museums, surplus shops and etc?
Thanks in advance troops,
-kalbs-

Intramuros and fort santiago in Manila are a must. Get booked on Carlos Celdran's irreverent historical walking tour of intramuros (this is very affordable and was recommended by time magazine: celdrantours.blogspot.com/). If Carlos is not your cup of tea, perhaps a few of us could take you. I've gone on 2 of his tours and can recommend them highly. Hope we can meet up with you during your visit...(and perhaps do some airsoft?)

Meeting up with you guys would be great. I just need to schedule when and where. The link doesn't seem to work Labrador but the tour sounds nice.
