It was only today when I realized that there is a tranvia/jeepney in Luneta Park. The ride costs 50 pesos per person (20 pesos per child) and the driver will take you around the vicinity of the Luneta Park, where Jose Rizal’s monument stands. At first, we thought that it’s a real tram wherein it passes through tracks. Eventually, we realized that it runs using a diesel engine. I really don’t know how to call it so I just labeled it as tranvia jeepney. :) The tranvia has 2 separate coaches connected to each other so it really looks like a tranvia from afar.

I took a video of some of my blogger friends while riding the tranvia. It was a wonderful experience, and it made me feel like a child again. When you’re in Luneta Park, Manila, this is one thing you can do aside from strolling around or just take a rest in one of the benches there.

The Ayala Triangle Gardens is a beautiful sight at night especially with the Christmas lights around the trees. It makes it a great place for taking a small break after a long day.

The Symphony of Lights was launched last November 19, 2009 where the Ayala Triangle Gardens was formally launched to the public.

What I like about the light show is the choreography of the lights with the music. What they could probably do in the future is not to project the snowflakes and just show Filipino Christmas lanterns (“parol” in Filipino) instead.

The show starts at 6pm while the next show starts at 6:30pm.
