It's hot, super hot, bring an umbrella.

Rainy season can be indefinite as well as long, so bring an umbrella. The rainy season usually starts in June, but it seems that this year it's not normal and it seems to be raining even now.

There is a difference between hotels and those in China, for example, you can get a nice king-size room for about 300RMB in most places in China, but you can't get one in Manila that is too good. And there is very little concept of a single room with a big bed in Manila, but also at this price, for example, it may be a double bed or even a triple bed. A king room in good condition would be expensive, and at a higher price it would be a suite.

Diet. If you are used to drinking hot water, go to Manila is really inconvenient, the Philippines rarely supply hot water concept, almost always ice water. If you are y in love with my Chinese food, go to the Philippines is also quite suffering. The local food in the Philippines, in my opinion, is simply inedible. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Manila, but most of them are localized and don't taste the same as what we do, but there are some that are almost the same, just hard to come across. If you're a person who likes to try variety, congratulations and be open to the experience.

Fruits. A lot of southern fruits are sold cheaply in the Philippines, but it's hard to say in Manila. Apples, pears and whatnot are expensive.

Highlighted, airport taxi. Almost all airport taxis will rip you off, which is simply unavoidable unless your hotel has a free shuttle service. In addition to the airport, there are the kind of hanging ID, there is a table, holding a sheet asking you where to go, as long as you want to choose this kind of car as soon as you talk, certainly be ripped off. For example, if you go to SM Mall of Asia from the airport, you will be asked to pay 1000 pesos, and even if you bargain, it will be hard to pay less than 500 pesos. But if you take a reverse taxi from the Mall to the airport, it's only about 100 pesos. However, if you don't have a shuttle, there's really almost no choice for an airport taxi, so just haggle hard.

City cabs. City cabs can be a little better than airport cabs, but not much better. Because of Manila's year-round traffic jams (narrow streets), many drivers are reluctant to use the meter and rely on haggling, while many others agree to use the meter but ask for an additional 50-200 pesos on top of the metered price, depending on the situation.

Almost all of these, there are specific questions you can ask again.
