Ivan shared with us his favorite foods and places in what's considered to be the oldest Chinatown in the World. Aside from stuffing our tummies with delectable treats which originated from different parts of China, he also fed our minds with his intimate knowledge of the town's history and origin.
Most of which I never knew until now. And for someone (a local Chinese) who's living outside Binondo, and always getting associated with the place, it felt nice to be in touch with the history of the place and the Chinese community who has been an integral part of the country's history.
Overall, the tour was interesting and enjoyable, both for our minds and our bellies... :)
But the most unforgettable moment in the tour is when one of the street kids approached Jasmine and started poking her, asking for money. Jasmine said to the (dirty) street kid, while trying to avoid him:
"Excuse me kid!"
I was hoping the street kid would respond something like:
"Duh!"
That would really be funny... Ha ha ha... :)
