Back to the Philippines

Going to Quezon City from Makati my aunt strongly recommended that we use the MRT or the Metro from Ayala to Trinoma (North Ave).

It proved to be a great idea.  The trick is to use it before the rush hour starts to avoid the long lines and the huge crowd.  You don’t want to get into a “sardine can” situation as what they describe it here.  Anyways, the one way trip cost only 14 pesos!  And it also took only half an hour included the waiting.  The only hassle was having our luggage with us.   It was always inspected by the security guards.  Going back (second photo) from QC to Makati, we got off at Buendia only to be greeted by this huge crowd!  Later on, we found out that getting good taxis is a pain from Buendia.
