Star City is an amusement park in Manila that I think lags far behind the ones here in the US in terms of size, modernity, variety and safety, but for some reason my grandchildren love it and want to visit again.
Lyla, 7, tried the bubble when we were there this May. She didn't hesitate one bit, walked up and waited for her turn, went inside the giant plastic contraption, knelt quietly while it was being filled up with air and when sealed and thrown in the water, just kept it rolling and rolling on. I, the worrier, as usual was concerned if there was enough breathing air, etc., though her Mom wasn't. On another day, in Eastwood, Lyla went bungee jumping as fearlessly. She was bouncing up to the treetops. Walang takot, talong-talo ang Lola.
