Taking the 15 minute walk from corner of 3rd Avenue and 31st Street in Fort Bonifacio (Near St. Lukes, Global City, Ford, Jollibee, Red Ribbon, Chowking) going to Market! Market!
From 31st street in Fort Bonifacio, you could take a bus ride (BGC as signboard in The Fort Bus) at the bus stop located in 3rd Avenue (In front of Security Bank) to Market! Market!, but you could also take the 15 minute walk.
The author usually takes the 15 minute walk (and also do some brisk walking) in going from 31st Street in Fort Bonifacio to Market! Market!. The walk serves the author’s purpose of exercise, relaxation from the day’s work, enjoying the scenery of high rise building, lots awaiting building construction and the green plants and flowers along the way. The other purpose is also on the author’s transportation expense, at eleven pesos (either going to Market! Market! or Ayala) if multiplied by 20 working days and by 12 months, it will arrive at 2640 per year.
As the author do his everyday walk, from 31st street going to 4th Avenue (going to HSBC), then going the vacant lot beside HSBC. Some grass and trees can be seen in which green color (from grass and tress) is a good relaxation for the eyes as what the author’s parents say. Crossing 5th Street going to 30th Street, a new Ayala business is on the rise. A right turn on the 7th street coming from 30th street and a short walk, you will then proceed to Bonifacio High Street, where restaurants and shops are located on the sides with Park with abstract art at the center. In Bonifacio High Street, you can see people strolling around, people taking pictures from some abstract arts in the park, some people eating along the restaurant, some buying stuffs at some shops, others sipping their coffee at coffee shops and some which carry with them their dogs along the park (There are rules in bring your dogs in the park). My colleague says that you can easily spot some well-known personalities strolling in this high street. I usually had fun to see parents bring their kids with them and strolls around the park (for the author itself is a parent to two loving kids). After Bonifacio High Street, you cross 11th Street for more restaurants and bars, yogurt and ice cream shops, bakeshops, bookstore and other stores. You will then arrive in front of Market! Market!. Just cross McKinley Parkway Road, you are now in Market! Market!! From here you can do more shopping, buy some stuffs, and eat at some restaurant and also there is a terminal here for Bus – going around Bonifacio Global City and back to EDSA (The Fort Bus and HM Worthy Transport), going to Alabang which starts at 5 PM till 9 PM (HM Worthy Transport bus), jeeps with routes in Taguig areas, FX with routes to Ayala and other parts of Makati.
