З ІСТОРІЇ МУКАЧІВСЬКОГО ЗАМКУ Вітаємо Вас у нашому славному замку, одному з найцінніших пам'яток історії та військової архітектури XIV - XVII ст.. Мукачівський замок - цс зразок середньовічної фортифікаційної архітектури, в якому поєднані різні стилі. VII. Act as a guide. MANILA Manila is the capital city of the Philippines. It is one of the sixteen cities (along with the municipality of Pateros) that comprise the national capital region of Metro Manila. The City of Manila is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay and is bordered by the cities of Navotas and Caloocan to the north, Quezon City - to the northeast, San Juan and Mandaluyong - to the east, Makati - to the southeast, and Pasay to the south. Manila sits on an archipelago just at the edge of the Asian continent, some 14° 35' N, 121º 00 E'. It’s 700 miles (1, 100 km.) or 2 hours flight time from Hong Kong, 1, 400 miles (2, 200 km.) or 3: 15 hours from Bangkok, 1, 500 miles (2, 400 km) or 3: 35 hours from Singapore, 1, 900 miles (3.000 km) or 4: 15 hours from Tokyo, and 1, 800 miles (2, 800 km.) from 4: 25 hours from Beijing. Ever so physically endowed, it is sitting in the throes of two notoriously dangerous volcanoes - Pinatubo to the north, which made headlines in 1991 when it spewed dust all over the world and dropped global temperature by 2°, and Taal to the south which always makes headlines every decade or so, while this city straddles the Pacific Rim of Fire underneath. What more, it lies in the path of the tropical monsoon bringing those more and more powerful typhoons during the second half of the year. It is fringed to the south by the idyllic Lake Bai - a veritable scenic showcase of Hispanized native folk and traditional culture, and farther south by cool and refreshing Lake Taal. Manila is often described as the only capital city in Asia that’s not an Orientalist's wet dream. A foreigner will be surprised that a local looks just like any Asian, but wears mostly T-shirt and jeans, or jersey, can communicate in English, reads and writes Roman text, and is not at home with chopsticks. As we now see it, Manila is more modern and western judging from the steel and glass skyscrapers dotting the skyline.
