duty free...

May 30, 2008. While waiting for our flight to Manila at Incheon International Airport in South Korea I decided to snap some pictures to pass the time. The airport is new and modern and I would say very "high tech". Duty free shops all over to allure million of travelers. High end products, designer items can be spotted. Restaurants, bars and lounges are incomparable.

buildings and billboards...

To continue my vacation saga here, I am posting the pictures of the towering buildings in Makati City that's part of the skyline that can be seen in greater Manila. Some were taken while I was standing in a little tiny balcony at the 25th floor of Millennium Plaza hotel, scary huh! Also I would like to show some of the huge billboards advertisement that grace along EDSA Avenue, only in the Philippines I guess... not true though, other Asian countries have the same.

That's it for now and hope to see you here again soon


Cheers!

My dive trip in Batangas, Philippines

Batangas is one of the best dive sites. Corals and marine life are spectacular.  Since it is a tropical water donning a wetsuit is optional. We stayed in Eaglepoint Resort in Mabini, Batangas. It is about 2 1/2 hours drive for Makati City. The place is so secluded. All of the cottages and rooms are along the cliff overlooking the sea.

I found Nemo!. This is probably my best shot.

Boracay beach, Philippines

I was so excited to be here. This was my first time to see this beautiful island with pristine white sand...kind of... off white I should say.  Boracay Beach was rated No. 1 in 2007  by Yahoo users. no wonder why... the place is so laid back and yet amenities are modernized  and its true to the saying "anything under the sun" . Fun is endless so is the nightlife. 

Boracay is accessible  via  air from Manila to Kalibo or Caticlan and  another 10 minutes motorized boat from Caticlan port.

sand castle built by locals. Donations are welcome
