I went to India for work, but underneath the paperwork, the footloose in me lay awake, thinking of adventures that I can do on weekends. It is a little challenging since I only have the weekends to go out, and more so because I have heard of warnings at home and in the bustling metropolitan…
Taj Mahal in photos is very impressive. Be it in the early morning when the sun begins to rise and its rays make the marbles glittery, or at dusk when the sky turns orange-pink, and oh, on a full moon night where it stands proud on a stark black/midnight blue and white. Yes, in reality…
For a complex of 162 hectares, it is impossible to see everything in Angkor Wat in a day. Much less in 5 hours – the only time we have to spare. If you want to know how big 162 hectares is, think of a rugby or american football field. That’s about 1 hectare. Okay, you’re…
A trip to Bangkok won’t be complete without temple-hopping. There are hundreds of them in the Thai capital, you won’t get to even visit 10% of them in your stay. Unless you’re staying for a month and not doing anything else aside from visiting these temples. The most popular temples are a mere walking distance…
My best friend Sani showed us how to play the game and now, we’re hooked. I never got to watch the animated series, nor play the console game. I was enthralled and bemused by a game that promotes outdoor activities such as walking (or jogging) and engages the players to share what pokemons they’ve hatched,…
Bolinao has of late rivaled Alaminos (both are towns of Pangasinan in Northern Luzon), in becoming one of the must-go-to destinations in the province. While Alaminos has the Hundred Islands, Bolinao has Patar beach, falls, caves and the destroyed Bolinao lighthouse. Bolinao faces the Lingayen Gulf and is located on the northernmost tip of Pangasinan,…
Osaka is the largest city in western Japan, is the capital of the Osaka Prefecture and is very close to Kobe, Kyoto and Nara. If you have a plane ticket to Osaka, consider going to those places too. It is about 500 km from Tokyo, 2 something hours by Shinkansen and about 6-8 hours drive by car or public…
Both museums stand proudly in the midst of Philippines’ original “concrete jungle where dreams are made of” – Makati. But they often get bumped off from the to-go places because people go to the malls surrounding them. Once in a while, it pays to visit historical and cultural places such as museums to enrich our…
Paragliding is not as main-stream a sport in the Philippines as surfing (thanks to Baler and La Union) and scuba diving. It can be done in a day, but will have to be planned for days. Here’s a little help from FootlooseTomcat, so you can plan your own paragliding adventure, or we can book it…
Paragliding is an adventure and accuracy sport using a free-flying canopy that looks like a chute that allows you to “glide” in the air as the pilot controls your every turn. Tandem paragliding has been introduced in the Philippines not too long ago. In fact, the members of Paragliding Philippines (PGP) who flew with us last…
