《在馬尼拉遇見的他》Met Him in Manila #throwback

On my second day in Manila. We met up with Harold S Nohay​. He is friendly person. A big and black rim glasses on his face, he just looks like a student. Walked along the Taft ave, Harold told us all he know about this city. He also bought us green mango with local fish paste and spicy salt, we enjoyed it. It's delicious!

That day is a hot weather, luckily typhoons didn't really entering Manila area. We stopped by and rest at the Rizal park. There's a lot Filipino family picnic and gathering at here.

Actually I do enjoy following the local to understand a place even by walking around the city.

I'd felt so grateful to know Harold, without him, we won't be so comfortable and feel safer in Manila. We enjoyed the buko juice (coconut juice in Tagalog) and ice cream under the sun. We love to selfie together.

Thanks Harold for take care of us. I will share some more about our story and Harold in future.  Stay tune.

今天是我們在馬尼拉的第二天，我們也約見沙發客Harold。他是個親切友善的菲律賓人，膚色黝黑。臉上架著一副黑框大眼鏡，看起來更是幾分學生樣。一見面，他親切寒暄後就帶我們遊走馬尼拉。走在Taft ave，Harold都在介紹著一路上有的大學、保安培訓所、中央醫院、法院、政府機構等等…他還買了青芒果請我們品嚐，青芒果是蘸點道地魚醬和椒鹽配食。這正合我胃！

從Quirino LRT一路走到黎薩公園Rizal Park，天氣一直維持高溫38度。這樣的艷陽天根本沒有所謂的颱風襲擊，大馬新聞播報地實在過份誇張。也不說清楚是哪裡在打颱風，搞得人心惶惶。這時正逢菲律賓的旱季，照理來說是不可能下雨或刮風…天氣應該是炎熱無風因為在菲律賓很遠很遠的外島打颱風，連帶了一些雲雨所以馬尼拉市區才不至於那麼熱。

黎薩公園算是一個當地人的悠閒公園。當然也有規劃出一些不同主題的收費園區，比如中國花園、蘭花園等等。更可以看到很多當地人在樹蔭下野餐聚會。在這個公園還有保安人員在看守。

一直以來，我都很想要跟隨當地人的步伐去了解當地的風土民情…哪怕只是用雙腳行走在馬尼拉鬧市，我也很享受。

其實非常感謝Harold，要不是他…我還真的不敢在馬尼拉街頭這麼大搖大擺地走著…有這位新認識的沙發客陪伴讓我們真的安心不少，心裡踏實很多。

我們隨心散步…渴了就停下喝buko juice(椰子水)，累了就買雪條吃一吃為身體降溫。我們selfie留念…應該說是wefie才對！很感恩我們沒有合不來，至少可以交心分享…

Harold是我在馬尼拉約見的第一位沙發客，實在是給我一劑強心針。也很感謝他對我們幾位照顧有加。往後的菲常日記也會有機會再分享我們跟Harold的共同回憶…
