Any small stamp would lessen its value and we don’t want that. Also, if I haven’t said this before, they don’t change Philippine peso so it is best to bring US dollars. For this whole trip, I think my maximum budget would be 300 dollars but I have an excess of 100 US dollars just in case of an emergency. 300 USD is already too much given that some of my expenses were also shouldered by my father. hehe.

It’s a 360 degrees view!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hs70FwHOgko/XjUujbTlnGI/AAAAAAAAg_8/Gkv0qXc2_IIsqcSwTTd_3uO7jBf81TWVQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B1.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1067\" data-original-width\u003d\"1600\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hs70FwHOgko/XjUujbTlnGI/AAAAAAAAg_8/Gkv0qXc2_IIsqcSwTTd_3uO7jBf81TWVQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B1.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6IAhUif_CUw/XjUwv2nHa4I/AAAAAAAAhBc/1Q2bo30Wp4od3QLX3MIRCb8M6sWJGwOFACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B2.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1600\" data-original-width\u003d\"1200\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6IAhUif_CUw/XjUwv2nHa4I/AAAAAAAAhBc/1Q2bo30Wp4od3QLX3MIRCb8M6sWJGwOFACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B2.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5OvPJH3TJnY/XjUw0XzzOkI/AAAAAAAAhBg/LnrwxBGYJuMCRitPaFh2NTRkwyCVpr68wCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B4.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1600\" data-original-width\u003d\"1223\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5OvPJH3TJnY/XjUw0XzzOkI/AAAAAAAAhBg/LnrwxBGYJuMCRitPaFh2NTRkwyCVpr68wCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B4.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aw4e67zXC6E/XjUw39wVd4I/AAAAAAAAhBk/q1QDVPQCN0EJSPilX3N2R-2L1sTV8L9lACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B6.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1600\" data-original-width\u003d\"1200\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aw4e67zXC6E/XjUw39wVd4I/AAAAAAAAhBk/q1QDVPQCN0EJSPilX3N2R-2L1sTV8L9lACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B6.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5k36t5QJBhY/XjUxH0Lu9LI/AAAAAAAAhB8/j7_Cy1diVW8MOwgW_N001Wt0t67zKfUJwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B8.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1067\" data-original-width\u003d\"1600\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5k36t5QJBhY/XjUxH0Lu9LI/AAAAAAAAhB8/j7_Cy1diVW8MOwgW_N001Wt0t67zKfUJwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B8.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fDtKaUxpFbk/XjUufIumVuI/AAAAAAAAg_0/EpKuUNtkSnwsXh237mJw42tQwIjdRZC_QCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B10.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1600\" data-original-width\u003d\"1142\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fDtKaUxpFbk/XjUufIumVuI/AAAAAAAAg_0/EpKuUNtkSnwsXh237mJw42tQwIjdRZC_QCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mandalay%2BHill%2B10.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"p2\" style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nLuckily for us too, during our visit, there aren’t many tourists so even though there are many people, we can still enjoy the view.
