A day
trip to Chinatown with my LG (light group) sisses was more than just fun and
meaningful. It’s the birth month of three of these lovely ladies (Miles, Lyn,
and Shem) and they decided to celebrate their special day with us, too.
That
Binondo visit had a well-planned itinerary, with lots of artistic kodak moments
(thanks to our young, talented Chari). I’d been wanting to explore Chinatown again
since my first visit was a bit of disappointment. Glad to have finally done
that with great people. It’s my first
gala with them. I loved
the LRT 1 ride and enjoyed sightseeing. #FeelingForeigner
First
stop: Sta. Cruz church
We kept
on walking, checking every possible place where we can have our mini photo shoot. I didn’t know where we were (neither did they, but thanks to google map,
anyway) – I just kept on observing as to how Chinatown looks like on a lazy
weekend afternoon.

Almost
lunch time, someone handed us a brochure that says 50% on dimsum stuff. That
was appealing enough to our celebrators and so we went to Royale restaurant.
They really had yummy dimsum!

Back to
our short tour, temple’s next. We hailed a tricycle going to Seng Guan Temple on Narra
Street.
Main Entrance
Second Floor: Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda Hall
Real lunch time came – and off we went to Lan Zhou Lamien (authentic handpulled noodles) via tricycle again. 4-5 people can fit inside the tryk.
That was
a super heavy lunch! #Burp That gave us enough energy to start another
walkathon.
Finding
Binondo church / Finding Lucky Chinatown mall:
After
attending mass at Binondo church, we started looking for Lucky Chinatown mall
where we had our monthly LG meeting.

That day
trip was lighter, more productive, and fun compared to my first visit
