International Museum Day: Intramuros Guide

Thanks to this event I got to see 4 museums for free and one garden ruins for 75 Php. Let's start with Casa Manila. I have been there just in the courtyard. I did not know that there was a museum that preserved how a well off family lives. The top photo is the study below is the music room on the 3rd floor.

Casa Manila is located at Plaza Sans Luis complex, General Luna Street. The fee to get in on regular days is 75 Php.

Next, is Bahay Tsinoy in 32 Anda Street corner Cabildo Street. Shows how we started interacting with Chinese people. You will find jade bracelets, porcelain bowls, and old cigar packagings.

They are open from Tuesdays to Sunday. Entrance fee is 150 Php. I'm sure people will enjoy taking photos with the sari-sari store set up.

Museo de Intramuros is the newest museum to open with this walled city. It houses, religious relics, paintings, and dioramas. It within the reconstructions of San Ignacio Church at Corner Arzobispo, Anda St.

Good news entrance is free from the first 6 months! I'm not sure but it will be best to start here as this is where we were given pamphlets of places you can visit within the walled city.

If you don't like reading about our history then Bagong Bayan Light and Sounds got you covered. Bring 10 or more friends so you can enjoy traveling back in time within an hour for 150 per head!

This museum tells you about our rich history using dolls, music, and play of light and shadows. It's a bit hard to get photos at this place best to enjoy the audio narration.

The site of many local movies, I find got to visit Baluarte de San Diego. I still want to go down and explore the actual ruins but the 75 Php entrance does not cover that.

There are many spots here that you can take photos of that is IG-worthy. They also have a bonsai garden! It was surprising to see a small bougainvillea plant with a trunk and the small Sampalok tree. Kudos to the ones that are taking care of this garden!

Have you been to this museum before? Did you enjoy it as much as you can?

#TaggedSilve: Birth month Randomness

Another year has passed in my life and here is another birth month randomness. To be honest I did not know what to do for this year. This idea was not really appealing to me too much as most of the time I'm the one with the photos to post. 

I did find some good ones so here we are! I have posted it on IG and shared it my random FB page.

It was fun looking at old photos. Yes, I grew width wise. haha. If I posted a photo that you took originally, let me know so I can credit you!

Nothing much happened during my birthday month, but I did get myself a new phone. That's about it. Till next maybe!
