Yeah, I feel very blessed. It was not part of my Zambo itinerary, I have never even heard of this beach before... until some locals invited me to go there for FREE!

What's great about HoM is that there's so many choices. It's perfect for yuppies who are into volunteering. There's always a project to help out on all-year round. :)

thanks for the advice! too bad it didn't work out well for you..

in countries that do not speak English, backpacking style is definitely harder. hope it's not true for other places.

Yep Jerik, it was of course still worth it.

Hi CJ Marc! Yup, it is white sand. And until now it does not get really crowded. Have a fun summer!

OutOnVacaTion, thanks so much! I still cannot get over your 'sapryt' story. Super hilarious.

2010-03-18T22:09:37.165+08:00

mukhang konti pa lang nakakapunta dito hah, white sand ba talaga sya PTJ? i prefer kasi yung hindi ganun ka- crowded na beach..... never been to quezon kaya baka this will be part of our summer plan....

Claire, I do love long trips! I can endure a 12-hour ride without sleeping and listening to music. Beyond that, I get bored too. Sometimes I complain to my hubby. Haha!

Sorry for the 3-month-late reply. I just saw your comment. Let me know if that happens! Good luck girl.

Jerik, perhaps he did not understand what Sherv was saying. Must be his accent.

As for the train beds, yeah it was oddly not numbered. I forgot that we didn't choose bunks when we purchased the tickets, cause prices should be different. I was really glad we got to our cabin first!

2010-03-16T17:37:01.105+08:00

Your patience for long hours of travel is remarkable :-) I usually travel at night every time I go to Bicol coz it bores me to death sitting for 10-12 hours, not to mention butt- numbing :-)

2010-03-16T06:58:20.618+08:00

do you know why the guy shook his head when hubby said he was australian? so that's why people were running to get the low bunk beds. isn't it numbered? like you paid for a specific bed?

2010-03-16T06:51:56.877+08:00

i couldn't agree with you more. there are times when taking the tour is much more practical. but atleast you were able to visit the great wall. i haven't been there and thanks to you for the advice, i shall definitely take the tour when going there..

idol talaga! galing ng blog! informative with witty and funny personal insights. sana magawa ko rin ito. kaso hindi ako magaling magsulat hehe. i also like your photos. sakto lang. hindi exaggerated ang pag-edit at alam namin kung maganda talaga ang lugar hindi yung maganda lang sa litrato. more power!

Dennis, I actually had a warmer down jacket... but it didn't make any difference either. I'm just really not used to cold weather. Five layers don't even work for me :(

2010-03-14T19:50:28.285+08:00

From your photo, I can see why you feel so cold that day - your outerlayer looks not enough. A down jacket would have sufficed.

2010-03-13T21:24:49.095+08:00

Yes Cathy, they will need the originals but you don't necessarily have to leave them with the embassy. Good luck!

2010-03-13T16:32:49.588+08:00

hi! for the tin id/ e1, is it okay to give them just a photocopy of it? but i will be bringing the originals just in case :)

2010-03-12T11:52:22.868+08:00

Hi Janet! Yeah, booking a tour is worth the extra yuans. And if you're travelling with someone, you need not join another group, cause 'group' pertains to two or more people. Have fun!

2010-03-12T11:33:19.016+08:00

Claire, I am sure you will have that chance someday. And when you do, tell me all about it!
