MY SARISARI STORE

See you next Halloween!

From yesterday’s remarks I can see that some of you wonder if they are still looking at my Halloween series. Yes, those pictures are still from Malate's Halloween Street Party. The theme of the night was a little bit Japanese inspired (The Kabuki Ball). A lot of the costumes that I saw were more extravagant than frightening. From some of my pictures you can/will see that the gay community was well represented that evening. Eighty percent of the people were just there to dance and drink the night away, while ten percent where dressed up in scary clothes. The remaining ten percent was just wearing colorful costumes.

To give you an idea of the crowd, I am posting an extra picture of one of Malate’s streets.

Please be aware that I can’t post all my pictures but that I am always trying to show the different aspects of an event.

 

Halloween Street Party in Malate.

Malate lies east of Manila Bay. Together with the district of Ermita up north, Malate is a popular tourist spot and a known center of bohemian night life in the city. Malate comes alive after dark. So, the sunset at Manila Bay is just an excuse to be there early. Then, the lights come on and the district is transformed.
Malate is also known as the gay capital of the Philippines with an active gay community living in the area surrounding the intersection of Maria Orosa and Julio Nakpil streets, near the Remedios Circle.

A bit afraid of all those monsters...
