Guess Where I’ve Been?

I’m back in Manila for five days before I leave again for my last trip of the year. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post my feature of the two countries I’ve been in the past two weeks during this time, but I’ll do my darn best.

Anyway, consider these two photos as a preview:

Destination #1: This country is most often associated with maple syrup (as per the photo above). In fact, its flag features a stylized 11-point maple leaf. Hint: if you look closely, you can actually see the flag in the photo.

Seattle's Pike Place Market

Destination #2: It’s the city where Starbucks started. Those of you who’ve been to this city will know that the photo above is a dead giveaway.

  5. Your anti spam word is “love”–how cool is that?

    My guess was as the same as the others: Canada and Seattle.

    Why oh why is it difficult to find real maple syrup in Manila?

    Have a good trip!

  6. Is that Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver, Canada?

    I’m guessing the second pic is Seattle.

  11. Oh, I’m catching up with your posts! Looking forward to seeing what you ate in Seattle, one of my favorite food cities. Hope you had a chance to eat cheese at Beecher’s at the market.

  12. I miss Vancouver & Seattle. Love poutine, too ! It’s been more than 10 yrs since we left Vancouver and went back to reside here in Manila. Steveston’s one of my favorite places and I can still smell the wharf. Are the tiny quaint shops still there ?
