View from the Top

Despite his fear of heights, Mark went up to the penthouse of Lancaster Suites to check out the pool (which was more of a mini-pool)and the view of Mandaluyong. After a quick scout around the area, we made a couple of discoveries:

1. Mandaluyong is a "green" city. There was a patch of property near the Libertad area which was full of trees. It was almost like a mini-forest within the city. We didn't know what area that was, but my guess was it was NMH. Also, the side facing Greenhills had the Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club. So that was another vast expanse of green.

2. Most of the houses in Wack-Wack villages have swimming pools. Once again proving that Wack-Wack is the Forbes of Mandaluyong.

3. On a clear day, you can see Antipolo from Mandaluyong. We were around 34 floors up, and the air was clear. It was nice to see all the mountain ranges of Antipolo, and the properties that dot it.

4. Things look better from a higher vantage point. The cities - Mandaluyong, Makati, Quezon City, and Manila - look nice when viewed from this high. Everything looks so peaceful and orderly.

Ah yes, the things you learn when you start seeing things from the top.
