SOUVENIR HUNTING AT KULTURA, MANILA

28th AUGUST 2017 ~ The souvenir-hunting started as early as our first day in Manila. I was told there was this shop called KULTURA which sold variety of high quality Philippines' souvenirs. We successfully found an outlet at the Mall of Asia.

This should be a shopping haven for tourists in Manila. Everything seemed so nice and tempting. The t-shirts were cheap and of good material. I kept telling myself I did not buy any luggage from AirAsia and I only had one backpack to fill to get back home.

Kultura outlets could be found not only in Manila but also in other parts of the Philippines as well.

NOTE: another option for you souvenir hunter out there, you should try SM Mall in Makati for cheaper souvenir items like key chains and fridge magnets there.

THE MALL OF ASIA IN MANILA

28th AUGUST 2017 ~ Our exploration around Manila City on the first day was concluded with a visit to the Mall of Asia - the 11th biggest shopping mall in the world and the 4th in the country. We were there without any specific mission but I just wanted to have a look at this well-known souvenir shop named Kultura, and found one.

It was a very huge shopping mall with an amusement park outside overlooking Manila Bay. It was raining heavily outside so we could just walked indoor. We did not walk much as we were already tired and hungry. If you feel like you want to see this place, you definitely need more time. Other than cinemas, there is also a skating rink which the largest in the region. There should be many more things you could find here.
