EDSA SHANGRI-LA MANILA

I am here in Manila for the first remembrance ceremonies of a dear friend who passed away last year at the tender age of 60. We met as Rotarians 33 years ago, we were like brothers, our 3 girls are at almost identical ages, our wives get along, our families are tight, we traveled together and we love being in each others company. I miss him so much.

Over the years I have been a regular of the Shangri-la group of hotels. Their pioneer concept of building an urban oasis in the midst of busy Asian cities is sheer genius. The idea has attracted not only leisure travelers, especially families, but business patrons as well for conferences or better still, for post-meeting rejuvenation to enjoy the resort aspects of the properties. There is no doubt the 'Shang' has created a unique style that has seamlessly merged  work and play under one roof.

I am a fan of the 'Shang' a big fan. I love this 'fan' a lot better than that competitor who brands itself with a 'fan' ... hint, hint!
