Ke ʻimi nei ʻoe i kahi e pakele ai i ka hustle a me ka puʻupuʻu o ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā? ʻAe, mai nānā ʻoe ma mua o Manila! Hāʻawi kēia kūlanakauhale ola i kahi hui kūʻokoʻa o ka mōʻaukala, ka moʻomeheu, a me ka wā hou. Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi meaʻai Filipino maoli, e ʻimi ana i nā ʻāina mōʻaukala a i ʻole e ʻoluʻolu wale i ka lā wela ma kekahi o kona mau kahakai nani, he mea ko Manila no kēlā me kēia.
No laila e hoʻopili i kāu mau ʻeke a mākaukau e ʻike i ke kūʻokoʻa e like me ka wā ma mua o kēia kūlanakauhale hoihoi!
ʻO ka manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai iā Manila
Inā hoʻolālā ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi i Manila, makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ka manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai. Hiki ke ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o ka wā maikaʻi ma Manila ma muli o kāu makemake, akā ma ka ʻōlelo maʻamau, ʻo nā mahina o Ianuali a ʻApelila ʻo ia ka manawa maikaʻi loa e kipa aku ai. I loko o kēia wā, hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo i ka mahana a me ka lā me ka liʻiliʻi o ka ua. He kūpono ia no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ʻāina kaulana o ke kūlanakauhale a me ka leʻaleʻa i nā hana waho e like me ka hele ʻana ma ke kahakai a i ʻole ke kipa ʻana i nā wahi mōʻaukala e like me Intramuros.
Eia kekahi, inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ka moʻomeheu olaola o Manila, e noʻonoʻo e kipa aku i nā ʻahaʻaina kaulana e like me ka hoʻolauleʻa Kalikimaka a me ka makahiki hou. Hoʻopiha ʻia kēia mau ʻahaʻaina i nā parade waihoʻoluʻu, nā mele ʻoliʻoli, a me nā meaʻai ʻono e hōʻike ana i nā kuʻuna waiwai o ka poʻe Pilipino. ʻO kekahi ʻahaʻaina ʻē aʻe e ʻike ai ʻo ia ka Sinulog Festival i Ianuali, kahi e ʻaʻahu ai ka poʻe kamaʻāina i nā lole kuʻuna a hula ma nā alanui no ka hanohano o Santo Niño.
ʻO nā mea hoʻokipa kiʻekiʻe ma Manila
Ke ʻimi nei ʻoe i Manila, makemake ʻoe e nānā i nā mea hoihoi e like me Intramuros a me Rizal Park. Akā inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi mea ma waho o ke ala, aia kekahi mau mea huna ma Manila e hāʻawi ana i nā ʻike kūʻokoʻa a me nā hana waho.
ʻO La Mesa Eco Park kekahi o ia mea huna. ʻO kēia oasis ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo he pakele maikaʻi loa ia mai ka hustle a me ka haʻalulu o ke kūlanakauhale. Ma ʻaneʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele ma nā ala kūlohelohe, hele i kahi pīniki ma ka loko, a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo i kou lima i ka lawaiʻa. He wahi kūpono ia no nā mea aloha kūlohelohe a me ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i ka maluhia.
ʻO ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Pinto Art ʻē aʻe. Hōʻikeʻike kēia hale hōʻikeʻike kiʻi o kēia wā i nā hana mai nā mea pena kiʻi Filipino ma kahi hoʻonohonoho hoʻonaʻauao Mediterranean. Me kona mau kīhāpai ākea a me nā pā hale nani, ʻaʻole ia he puʻuhonua noʻeau akā he wahi maikaʻi nō hoʻi e hoʻomaha a hoʻomaha.
No ka poʻe ʻimi huakaʻi, pono ʻo Mount Pinatubo ma kāu papa inoa. Hāʻawi kēia lua pele ikaika i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha ke hiki ʻoe i kona loko lua pele. He mea paʻakikī paha ka huakaʻi, akā pono ka uku i kēlā me kēia hana.
E ʻimi ana i ka Hoʻoilina Moʻomeheu o Manila
No ka hoʻopiha piha ʻana iā ʻoe iho i ka hoʻoilina moʻomeheu waiwai o Manila, e ʻoluʻolu e kipa i nā wahi mōʻaukala e like me Intramuros a me Rizal Park. E hoʻihoʻi kēia mau hiʻohiʻona kiʻi iā ʻoe i ka manawa a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka wā kahiko o ke kūlanakauhale.
ʻO Intramuros, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo 'Walled City,' kahi hale paʻa i mālama maikaʻi ʻia i kūkulu ʻia i ka wā colonial Spanish. Ke hele nei ʻoe ma kona mau alanui pōhaku ololi, e hoʻopuni ʻia ʻoe e ka hoʻolālā colonial kupanaha e hōʻike ana i ka mōʻaukala o Manila. E kipa aku iā Fort Santiago, he hale paʻahao i loko o Intramuros i lilo i hale paʻahao a me ka hale paʻahao i ka wā e nohoaliʻi ana ʻo Sepania. E ʻimi i kona mau hale paʻahao a me nā māla i ka wā e aʻo ai e pili ana i ke ola o ke koa aupuni ʻo Jose Rizal.
ʻO kahi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe e ʻike ai ʻo Rizal Park, i kapa ʻia ma hope o Jose Rizal, nāna i hana koʻikoʻi i ka hakakā ʻana o ka Philippines no ke kūʻokoʻa mai Sepania. ʻAʻole kēia wahi ʻōmaʻomaʻo ākea he wahi hoʻomaha wale nō akā he kahua moʻolelo koʻikoʻi. E hele mālie ma kona mau ala i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kiʻi kiʻi a me nā monuments i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no nā koa Filipino.
E hoʻokomo hou iā ʻoe iho i loko o ka hoʻoilina moʻomeheu o Manila ma o ka ʻimi ʻana i nā hana lima Filipino. E hele i ka mākeke ʻo Quiapo kahi e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe nā huahana i hana lima ʻia e like me nā textiles, nā mea nani, a me nā ipu lepo i hana ʻia e nā mea hana lima. Mahalo i kā lākou hana hana a lawe i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo kūʻokoʻa e hōʻike ana i ka nani o ka moʻomeheu Filipino.
Aia ʻo Manila i kahi waiwai o ka mōʻaukala a me ka moʻomeheu e kali ana e ʻike ʻia. Ma ke kipa ʻana i kēia mau wahi mōʻaukala a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka poʻe paʻahana kūloko, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻike i ka wā kahiko o Manila me ka hāʻawi ʻana i kona mālama ʻana no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana.
Kahi e ʻai ai ma Manila
No ka ʻike meaʻai leʻaleʻa ma ke kūlanakauhale, mai poina i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā kīʻaha like ʻole a ʻono ma ʻO ka meaʻai kūloko o Manila makeke a me na hale kuai alanui. Hoʻopiha ʻia nā alanui ākea o Manila i nā ʻano meaʻai meaʻai e hoʻopōʻino i kou ʻono. Mai nā meaʻai alanui ʻono a hiki i nā mea ʻono ʻono, aia kekahi mea no kēlā me kēia.
ʻO kahi koho kaulana ʻo ke kipa ʻana i nā mākeke meaʻai kūloko, e like me Mercato Centrale ma Bonifacio Global City a i ʻole Salcedo Saturday Market ma Makati. Ma ʻaneʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i nā ʻano mea ʻono like ʻole e like me nā skewers i hoʻomoʻa ʻia, nā iʻa iʻa hou, a me nā mea ʻono Filipino kuʻuna. ʻO ka lewa ikaika a me nā ʻano koho like ʻole e lilo kēia mau mākeke i mea pono e kipa ai no kēlā me kēia meaʻai.
Inā makemake ʻoe i ka ʻai ʻana i kahi kūlana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, aia nō ma Manila nā hale ʻaina kaulana e hāʻawi ana i ka meaʻai leʻaleʻa. Mai nā kīʻaha Filipino maoli a hiki i nā mea ʻono o ka honua, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoluʻolu i kou ʻono ma nā wahi e like me Manam Comfort Filipino a i ʻole Locavore Kitchen & Drinks.
ʻAʻohe wahi āu e koho ai e ʻai ma Manila, hoʻokahi mea i maopopo - hāʻawi ke ʻano meaʻai o ke kūlanakauhale i nā manawa pau ʻole no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i nā mea leʻaleʻa gastronomic. No laila e hele a makaʻala i nā mākeke meaʻai kūloko a i ʻole e kākau i kahi papaʻaina ma kekahi o nā hale ʻaina kaulana - ʻaʻole i ʻono maikaʻi ke kūʻokoʻa!
Nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka huakaʻi ʻana ma Manila
E hōʻoia i loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi palapala ʻāina a i ʻole palapala hoʻokele hilinaʻi ma kāu kelepona e kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻokele i nā alanui paʻa a ʻimi i kou ala a puni ke kūlanakauhale nui o ka ʻĀina Pilipino. He kūlanakauhale ikaika ʻo Manila me nā mea e makaʻala ai, akā hiki ke paʻakikī inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i kamaʻāina i ia wahi. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka palapala ʻāina a i ʻole ka polokalamu hoʻokele e hōʻoia ʻaʻole ʻoe e nalowale a hiki ke hele maʻalahi i kāu mau wahi i makemake ai.
I ka wā e pili ana i ka hoʻololi kālā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana ma nā mea hoʻololi kālā ʻae ʻia a i ʻole nā panakō no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kumukūʻai maikaʻi loa. Hōʻalo i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kālā ma ke alanui no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o ka hoʻopunipuni a i ʻole nā bila hoʻopunipuni.
Ma ke ʻano o nā koho kaʻa, hāʻawi ʻo Manila i nā koho like ʻole. ʻO ke ʻano maʻamau o ka halihali lehulehu ʻo ka jeepney, he mau jeep waihoʻoluʻu e hahai ana i nā ala kikoʻī. Hiki iā lākou ke piha loa, akā he ala kūpono lākou e hele a puni ke kūlanakauhale.
ʻO kekahi koho kaulana ʻo ka lawe ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa a i ʻole nā lawelawe kaʻana like e like me Grab. Hāʻawi kēia mau mea i ka ʻoluʻolu a me ka hōʻoluʻolu, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hele ʻana i kahi lōʻihi a i ʻole i nā hola kiʻekiʻe ke kaumaha ke kaʻa.
ʻO ka hope, loaʻa iā Manila kahi ʻōnaehana kaʻaahi kūpono i kapa ʻia ʻo MRT (Metro Rail Transit) a me LRT (Light Rail Transit). Hoʻopili kēia mau kaʻaahi i nā wahi like ʻole o ke kūlanakauhale a he ala kūpono ia e pale aku ai i ka paʻa ʻana o nā kaʻa.
No ke aha ʻoe e kipa aku ai iā Manila
Hoʻomaikaʻi, ua hiki ʻoe i ka hopena o kā mākou alakaʻi huakaʻi Manila. I kēia manawa ua paʻa ʻoe me nā ʻike koʻikoʻi āpau, ʻo ia ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai i kāu huakaʻi.
Inā makemake ʻoe i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā kahua mōʻaukala, ka ʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai ʻono, a i ʻole ka luʻu ʻana iā ʻoe iho i ka moʻomeheu ikaika o Manila, he mea ko kēia kūlanakauhale no kēlā me kēia.
No laila e hoʻopaʻa i kāu mau ʻeke a mākaukau e hopu ʻia e nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha a me nā hoʻoilina waiwai e kali nei iā ʻoe i kēia kūlanakauhale nui.
Mai kali hou - e kākau i kāu huakaʻi i Manila i kēia lā a hoʻomākaukau e kahaha!
