whitewashed wall
This whitewashed wall (no pun intended) is one of my favorite slabs. It is steps away from the park with a tiny sidewalk that makes a twosome stroll clumsy, and threesome a virtual impossibility. It is actually the wall of a pioneering hotel in the city. It is called by a name reminiscing the view of the country's tallest peak, Mt. Apo. But that's no longer accurate. The view had long been blocked by a nearby mall, so it may aptly be called Mall View Hotel.
If you're on the first or second floor, that is. The hotel is actually a nine-storey midrise that had been added years later, so there could still be left peeks of the peak. But then, the mall is eight levels too (plus basement) so the name may remain a dilemma. However, the mountain is more than 10,000 feet, so there goes enough reason for the hotel to keep its name and not push through with my suggestion of renaming it as Mall View hotel :)
