Budget Travelling Tips
It was around the third week of August when I left Kathmandu and decided to go to Pokhara. They say that it’s easier to go to India from Pokhara because there are buses that go directly to Gorakhpur. As soon as we got off the bus in Pokhara, the taxi drivers swarmed to us like [...]
I remember an old saying from a tourist about the Philippines, “She doesn’t give you any reason to go, but once you’re here, she would give you a lot of reasons to stay.” The Philippines has been out of sync from her other Southeast Asian neighbors for quite some time. She has been under the [...]
I would be very honest, 2009 wasn’t all that laughter and fun. It wasn’t all partying and crazy stuff.

Philippines would probably be the only country in the world where people starts playing Christmas songs as early as September, begins the Christmas shopping by October, gift-giving (including the most awaited Christmas bonus) by November, and non stop eating, drinking and partying by December. It continues until January for the New Year and extends to [...]
