Our first night in Manila and it happens to be the Feast of the Black Nazarene! Millions of people crowd the streets (up to 10 million), and we happen to be right in the heart of all of it. Even amongst the crowds of people, there is definitely a sense of peace and calmness filling the streets. We have no problem navigating the streets of Manila in search of delicious street food. Filipino cuisine is rich in meat, like Beef Pares, but Kelly was still able to find corn, mangos, and peanuts roasted right on the streets of Manila. Forest discovered his favorites: hotdogs and ice cream. Of course, we go for chicken innards and even fried chicken skins. Almost every item is 20 pesos, so we find it super easy to feed our family on less than $10 dollars.
During the Festival of the Black Nazarene, thousands of people come to Quiapo Manila to celebrate the transfer of the cross from one location to another on Good Friday. This is one of the largest Christian festivals in the world. There is a festival on Friday night, and the big pilgrimage the next morning.
This is the start of an epic multi-week vacation in the Philippines! Nothing went as planned for us, but in most instances, it was even better than we had planned. We landed in Manila at the start of the huge festival (Feast of the Black Nazarene/ Poong itim na Nazareno), then we landed in Cebu at the start of another festival (Sinulog), and we ran out of time to thoroughly explore Palawan (but what we experience was amazing). We are already looking forward to our next visit to the Philippines. Join us on this adventure and send us any advice you have.

ABOUT US
We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children. We sold our home in Alaska, USA, eight years ago, and headed overseas. We are teachers and found fantastic teaching positions in Chennai, India. Two years later, we moved to the United Arab Emirates. Three years after that, during the beginning of the pandemic, we made the move to our current teaching jobs in Indonesia. We love traveling and finding adventures as a family. We hope that our travels will inspire and provide our children with the confidence to meet new people, try new foods, and enjoy learning a new language. We hope our vlogs will inspire you to get out and travel, too!
