Day 147, Sept 2, 2011

Inukshuk:

In the Northern American hemisphere, this may not be so ordinary, but to find one in Manila? Well why not?

The Inukshuk, after all, is a set of stones organized to look somewhat humanoid - as indication that people were here where you pass now - more a sign for others passing desolated locales, this was meant to be a sing of good hunting or fishing by the Inuit people - or simply landmarks for wayfarers - to guide them to the right path.

This particular cairn (as how some people refer to it) is at the heart of  the SM Mall of Asia - a cultural gift from the people of Canada to us. Cool ay?
