CREAM OF THE CROP

Posted by: triciaCA

Aug 29

I mentioned in a previous post about the skate culture (or lack thereof) here in the Philippines. I read a magazine that had a great photo spread on skaters around the University of the Philippines. So I wanted to check it out. It worked out well considering my cousin attends the school and my mom graduated from there years ago. Unfortunately there were no skaters; it was probably just a photo opportunity. Though I was pretty bummed out, I found the campus to be quite interesting.

Students.



Pretty much the entire campus. Prime mosquito territory.



Clubs create chalk murals on the sidewalks of campus. This one was my personal fave.



The campus is filled with vendors selling everything from clothes to food to books to sun/eyeglasses. Weird. Here's where I finally had street bbq and what locals call 'dirty ice cream'.





The end. Couple more days to go and I'm back in LA.
