Philippine Islands Title: "Living it Up At Manila Bay" Manila Baythe very name brings forth images of stunning sunsets on a tranquil harbor and the sight of people sitting by the breakwater watching the end to another day in the nations capital. If you think thats all there is to Manila Bay, you have got to be kidding. Come night time, "Baywalk" as the Manila Bay boardwalk has come to be known, comes alive with the sound of music both live and recorded from the various bistros and cafes lining the boardwalk of Manila Bay on Roxas Boulevard. Night revelers can dine to the ambiance of salty sea air and the music of live performers playing every night at the Baywalk restos. Living statues who perform dances or simply move and greet spectators for the price of a few pesos placed in the box at his feet thrill children and sightseers with their costumes and antics. Every night, an eclectic mix of people can be seen enjoying the music or just having dinner and a few drinks under the stars. For those who have had a stressful day at the office, masseurs specializing in reflexology and shiatsu are seen plying their trade along clusters of chairs where customers can settle in while their tension is kneaded away by the masseurs soothing hands. Kissing Up A Storm At The Lovapalooza Filipinos have long been known to be passionate people. This they especially proved as with more than 5,122 couples kissing simultaneously in the "Lovapalooza" festival held midnight of February 13, 2004 breaking Chiles record of 4,445 in the Guinness Book for World Records. Since then, it has kicked off a tradition with the Lovapalooza 2 held midnight of February 13, 2005 where couples from four major cities from Cebu, Davao, Angeles, and Manila smooched simultaneously in a live telecast aired over the local networks.
