Largest Bookstore in Manila?
With possibly the largest bookstore in the metro just recently opened in Bonifacio High Street, the bookworm in me couldn’t help but check out the newest Fully Book branch opened in town. There’s 5 floors of books - including a basement filled with graphic novels and a 4th floor filled with CDs - all bound to keep book lovers coming back for more. The Starbucks on the third floor is also great for starting that new book purchase with a cup of coffee. Anyway, we’ll feature more of High Street in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

Someone supernatural was in town today. Hearing the cheers and chants of an adoring crowd, he said, “The energy here is off the charts. I absolutely love Manila!” (Photo by Nykko Santos.)
ART Photo Exhibit at Shangri-La Plaza
Looking to catch a glimpse of France? Of Switzerland? If it sounds romantic, the captured scenery looks even more so.
“Images de Suisse et de France: les gens, les paysages, les evenments (Images of Switzerland and France: people, places and events par Raoul ),” a photo exhibit by Raul J. Teehankee, is now open at Level 3 of the EDSA Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong; it will run until August 31. The exhibit was designed by professional photographer and art director Nykko Santos.
I was astounded when I went there last Wednesday. A total of 40 photographs were on display, all of which focused on the festivals, events, mountains, and people of Switzerland, as well as those of her next door neighbor, France.
