Unlike Merdeka 118 and Petronas Towers, The Exchan Unlike Merdeka 118 and Petronas Towers, The Exchange 106 does not have anything interesting as a building to brag about.

Petronas Towers, currently the tallest twin towers Petronas Towers, currently the tallest twin towers in the world and former recordholder of the tallest building in the world title from 1998-2004 at 451.9 meters and 88 storeys.

    Side Trips: A food trip to San Miguel, Bulacan

    November 29, 2018

    Sometimes, the Urban Roamer finds himself in places outside the metropolis. More so since for the past five years or so, this roamer has been living outside the metropolis itself.  Consider this something long overdue.
