Bwahahaha... memories of UP Manila, before Manila Midtown closed down (we got some good equipment at that auction... shame about the hotel).
When Robinson's Place Manila was still a backwater little mall with public toilets that looked like... public toilets, I'd walk through the back of the mall, into the adjoining commercial building (full of travel agencies... looked like a European train station) and straight into Midtown, without passing any guards, doors or people. Amazing that almost nobody knew they were all connected on the second floor this way.
That hotel bathroom was my very own "Secret Garden"... :hysterical:

Cubao? Pimps? Egh. Stand anywhere on Aurora after hours and the "working girls" are all around you. Even worse? Stop your car and open the door (around the 7-11 or Mercury there), and they start running at you like hungry savages. We had to buy from Mercury there a few years ago... akala ko ma-ga-gang rape ang pinsan ko when he got out of the car... buti na lang they all skidded to a halt when they saw him going into Mercury... *whew*!!!
