PAINT THE TOWN PINK AT OKADA MANILA
Among the grandest and most impressive hotels in Manila's Entertainment City, Okada Manila is a stone's throw from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, and the sprawling SM Mall of Asia. As a Forbes five-start integrated resort, it's the perfect place to splurge on a weekend staycation to kick back and relax, enjoy some top-class restaurants, and dabble at the tables.
The expansive, light-filled main lobby, a flamboyant, ornately decorated space awash with pink, sets the tone for your stay, where warm, inviting hues pervade every corner of the hotel. Take your pick from nearly 1,000 beautifully appointed rooms, suites and villas, and expect a luxurious king-size bed, bathtub equipped with rain shower, and designer amenities. You'll be very well looked after whether you're in a generous 60-square-metre Deluxe room or one of the huge, opulent Suites complete with walk-in closet, massage room, and jacuzzi - and of course, painted in a dreamy pink with white, gold and marble accents.
From your cosy vantage point in the hot tub, cocktail in hand, you'll be able to drink in the famed sunsets of Manila Bay or enjoy a front row seat to the daily spectacle that is The Fountain. Stretching over an area about the size of 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools, the world's largest multicolour dancing fountain will enthral and entertain with its exquisitely choreographed light-and-sound performances conducted by more than 2,000 dazzling lights, dozens of speakers, and 700 high-powered jets.
After a good soak, slip on some comfortable shoes for an evening of intense shopping as you make your way along the Retail Boulevard and Crystal Corridor, Okada Manila's kilometer-long indoor promenade offering a heady mix of premium retail outlets, casual restaurants, and lifestyle services.

The Karakoram Anomaly Decoded
For decades, scientists have believed that glaciers in the Karakoram Range are defying the trend of those across the globe-resisting glacial melt due to human-induced global warming. But as we trek up the Karakoram's second-longest glacier in July, as the United Nations announces the world's hottest ever month on record, does the melting ice beneath our feet suggest the so-called Karakoram Anomaly is slowing? Or is there a ray of hope it will continue to delay the inevitable?
