Binondo took all my  peso. As I set foot on the oldest Chinatown in all of Asia, I was astounded with a huge wave of tradition, culture, and the coexisting lives of the Filipinos and Chinese. The streets made me feel like I was in a different place. The food was exquisite. The experience was made to never be forgotten. Although I spent a large amount of money on food, transportation, and souvenir, I did not regret one thing and that is what makes my first local travel special.
