Lining the streets of Binondo is a variety of shops selling practically everything - from fruits, to good luck charms to traditional Chinese medicine. Fine dining restaurants exist side by side with hole-in-the-wall-eateries, all serving fantastic, and sometimes exotic, Chinese cuisine.

Her deft, skilfull handling attracted quite a crowd. As for the man below, I suppose he'd rather be left alone and get his foot massage in peace.
Last of the series tomorrow!

Hey Darryl and Ruth! Binondo and its surrounding areas like Tutuban and Divisoria are home to some of the best and cheapest shopping in the Philippines. But yes, I think it's really the people and their unique customs that give these places its character!
