Manila SINKS, not STINKS.

Damn.

just got home after walking (wading!)
an hour and a half
in knee-deep to thigh-deep floodwaters,
from the Welcome Rotonda to Casa Oroquieta.

exhausted.
drenched in dirty vermin-infested waters.

but I still love this crazy underwater city.
It's the Venice of the East,
a modern-day Atlantis!!!
