WHEE! WHEE! WHEE!
Well, whaddaya know? Yours truly is mentioned in Lufthansa Magazine. Not a bad acheivement if I might say so myself. Why do I say this? Because I met the writer, Hans Oberlaender, when he was being toured around Manila by the inimitable blue haired honorary Filipino Andy Maluche, and I know that this was a writer with incredibly high standards. Every Manila restaurant, hotel, tour service, and attraction mentioned in his article had to be Germanically perfect lest any passenger of Lufthansa be disappointed by any of his recommendations. And although one might think that being called a "Know-It-All" (below) might be percieved as a pejorative by some, I'm OK with it.I really do think I know it all.
Thanks Ed Guzman for the shout out. And thanks bryanboy for the mention in psychopedia!

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU CARLOS! That's brilliant! You're one of the very few who keep the importance of historic places alive. Keep up the good work my friend!
Great to read that Manila is portrayed in a travel magazine.
Just wanted to add that there are also Germans like me who don't want to have everything perfect. I really like simple things and not high class, first class places.
Carlos you know we both discussed that several times over some beers sitting in the coffee shop in Intramuros :-))) and we had a lot of fun!!!!
It's a pity that those kind of writers do not focus on authenticity of the place but only on high class profiling.
Folks be sure we Germans are not like that- at least some are not like that.
Those writers of Lufhansa hopp in for some days and think they know Manila. I mean I lived 5 years in Manila but I never would say I really know Manila over all.
But it's great that a lot of travellers are able to read about your great city and people which deserves more attention by tourism and tarvellers!
