<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br />Clear cold bluish water is what you'll expect when you visit Timubo Cave. It is around 30 km ride from the Consuelo Port of Camotes Island. At high tide, expect depth of 6ft, and 5ft during low tide. From the cave entrance, you are to climb down for less than 50 steps to reach the cave pool. The water temperature is not too cold, just enough to feel relaxed on this trip. The cave is well lit and locals are available and accomodating to take you and your group a photo.</span></span><br />

On your right side, you'll see a signage directing you to turn left. Take the left turn and drive for another 15 kilometers until you reach Barangay Esperanza. You know that you have reached Esperanza if you are seeing the beach on your left. Take a right turn on a steep hill and drive straight. On the end is where Timubo cave is. Local folks on the way are very accommodating on directions. Just tell them you are heading to Timubo cave.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Just a tip for this cave trip. Expect less air inside the cave. The cave is slippery. People who has hypertension is advised to have caution descending the cave. Cellular signal is poor in the island thus your inate cartographic skill is to be unleashed. Nonetheless, this trip is safe and exciting. Like what I said, the locals are very accomodating.</span><br />

In earlier times, Badjao people in boats have settled in the area, thus the place derived its name. Today, the place have already been constructed with stilt houses. It was a busy day for the Badjaos. There were lots of kids on concrete bridge playing cara y cruz while some ladies were selling local food on corners. There were mothers carrying their babies while having a morning conversation.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Raja led us to one of the houses and introduced us to a Badjao well-known weaver of mats. With different colors of pandan threads in her hand, she free-handedly weaved it to come up with a mat on very intricate design. She will then sell it to market for 500 to 800 pesos depending on the size. Depending on the difficulty and size, the weaving may take months to finish.</span></span><br />

Inspired by Taj Mahal, the capitol building, painted in white and decorated with golden dome, sits on top of the hill overlooking the whole Tawi-Tawi. On a normal day, this building is busy with the different needs of its people. However, for this day it was laidback that only goats were present on its building entrance.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Before the morning ends, our team went to the next itinerary, trekking at the Bud Bongao (Bongao Peak). Standing 342 above sea level, Bud Bungao is the highest elevation in Tawi-Tawi. Believed to be sacred, the peak welcomes pilgrimages of Muslims to give respect and to pray for wishes. Prior the trek, all visitors are asked to register and to pay environmental fees at the tourism facility located on the foot of the peak. Proper disposal of garbages are highly enforced on this conservation, thus all plastics and bottles of the tourists are monitored by the tourism authority. </span></span><br />

Along its path, wild monkeys expecting for bananas keep the trekkers entertained. Throw them some bananas and get amused and relieved from the series of assaults to the peak.</span></span><br />

The beauty of Tawi-Tawi was impecable with its white beaches perfectly matching the blue skies. Celebes sea engulfing the Tawi-Tawi island complemented the calmness of the moment.</span></span><br />

Our team was served with sorts of seafood, from curried manta ray to fish cevishe.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Simunul island played an important role in the history of the Philippines. From this island, Islam faith was propagated in the country through Sheik Karimul Makdum on 1380. It was also through the Sheik that the first mosque in the Philippines was conceived in the island. The original mosque lasted for 500 years. The original pillars, which are made of ipil, are still preserved inside.</span></span><br />

The park houses a seawater crocodile spanning an eighteen feet. It was brought to captivity on 2017. Bohe Sallang Natural Pool is also found in this island. The pool became a famous attraction because of its unknown depth.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Before the night arrived, the team prepared to return to Bongao Island. On the way back, I realized how rich Tawi-Tawi is with its culture, people and place. The culture, through time, had mixed from South Asia, Arab, Chinese, Indian and the Philippines, and blended it into a unique element. The people had been noticeably warm. The dialect may be different, but one could feel the respect given to each other, whether of different religious beliefs. Everybody was at peace and there were no signs of violence.</span></span><br />

Before visiting, ensure that it was well-planned and well-coordinated like our team did. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Like other places in the world, Tawi-Tawi also faces problems on waste disposal. Plastics and garbages may be found on beaches and under stilt houses. The belief that the vast sea can accomodate the peoples' trash is still existing.</span></span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Culture and peoples' attitude were seen as main factors for this problem and edu</span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">cation is a key player to combat this problem. It is a big challenge for the local government of Tawi-Tawi, but through initiatives and efforts of everybody, this may be resolved.</span><br />

Just make sure you go there as early as 7 in the morning or earlier to catch up the low tide. if you'll be coming from the town proper (General Luna), the ride will be around 1 hour.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">This has been an unexpected itinerary, the moment we entered the cave, the cold water made a thrilling sensation. Crossing the cave in darkness was even surprising. We had a single flashlight for a group of 7 people. Don't fret, the cave is safe with a tourist guide with us. You'll have to reach out from one bamboo pole to another while floating in the cold water. Look up and you'll see lots of bats taking a day's rest. Try not to create sounds to avoid disturbing it. This was one of the highlights of the trip and very recommendable.</span></span><br />

<b style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">A time-stopper, this place is one of the places you'll get to view the slow setting of the sun. Silhouttes of surfers and jagged rocks make it more dramatic. Time lapsing from this view is also recommended. </span></span><br />

<b style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">5. Island hopping on Guyam, Daku and Naked Islands</b><br />
<b style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: "century gothic", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">A short trip from General Luna, island hopping in these islands can be made. Guyam is the nearest island from General Luna. The island, teardrop in shape, has a small stretch of powdery-white sand and dotted with coconut palms. The island is so small that one can cross from edge to edge for 50 steps. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Daku Island, as the local term for "large", is the biggest island among the three. Having the turquoise waters, lush coconut trees and cream white sand, each visitor is enticed to swim in the waters or get lazied on the shore. Snorkeling and kayaking are also available. The good part is eating seafood on the shore. Ask for grilled fish or squid offered at an affordable price.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Naked Islad is a sand bar facing the Pacific. The term got it from having bare features with a small number of grasses on the island. You can enjoy swimming and snorkelling on this island.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">One of the things to explore in the cove is the Hagukan Underwater Cave. This became famous for the greenish glow it projects inside the dark cave. The cave got its name from the local word "Haguk" means snore. This is the sound created inside the cave as the tide recedes from the roof.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">A thrilling experience is then offered by Magkukuob Cave. The experience starts with spelungking inside the cave and ends with a heart-stopping cliff jump, which is around 25ft. the cave is adorned by the crystal reflections coming from the stalactites and stalagmites. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Having a long day off like the Golden Week is a good opportunity
to visit a popular resort in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano prefecture.
Also, it is a chance to escape the busy concrete jungle of Tokyo or Yokohama.
If you are a foreign tourist visiting Japan, then this is your chance to try
roads not usually taken as travel destinations, but give different, exciting
and memorable Japan experience. Remove shrines and temples from your travel
list and get a ticket to Kamikochi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Serving as a jumping point on climbing the surrounding mountains,
mountain climbers have been mystified by the place's beauty as seen by
their number and the camping tents around. Climbing the mountains is open only
from mid June to mid September. For people who prefer to enjoy more of this
valley instead of climbing the mountains can hike along Azusa River. The
terrain is flat and it will be a no problem for amateurs. Aside from that, this
valley has lots of things you'll be surprised of. The place is also popular for
its autumn foliage that usually happens on mid October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A traveler's tip: Always be prepared as the weather in the area
normally changes. Ensure you have raincoats with you, just in case. Also, buses
accessibility will only be until the Kamikochi Tourist Lodge as cars and other
private vehicles are not allowed in the area. Kamikochi maintains the
cleanliness of the environment, thus preventing pollution by preventing cars.
The buses are also hybrid to comply with the cleanliness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Starting from the Kamikochi tourist lodge is where the hiking
starts. First stop to see is the famous Kappa Bridge or the Kappabashi. It is
less than 20-minute walk from the tourist lodge. Did you know that this bridge
is the iconic symbol of Kamikochi? It was originally a draw bridge and was
rebuilt as a suspension bridge in 1910. The present bridge was completed in
1997. How did it gain popularity? The short story Kappa written in 1927 by
Ryonusuke Akutagawa was set on this bridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">After the Kappa Bridge and taking the right side hiking path of
the river, the next stop would be the Myojinkan. It is an estimated 2-hour hike
from the Kappa Bridge, but it will surely depend on someone's pace. As you
stroll along the trail, the sound of the Azusa River gives a perfect match of
tranquility while the cold breeze touches our cheeks. Monkeys are often seen on
the area. Don't worry, they don't disturb your trip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shinto religion which holds nature as its center of belief. There would be
trails along the pond, where you could get IG snapshots of its crystal clear
water matching the tranquil ambiance. Honestly, this became one of my favourite
places, as you will feel the solemnity surrounding the pond. You could only
hear the sound of the water quietly gushing and some birds tweeting.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
So for our first stop, let me give you an appetizer. Work out those legs and
hinds power, because you'll be needing it to hike the famous Mt. Tapyas,
located within the town proper. Mt. Tapyas stands 210 m above sea level with
724 steps to conquer. Yup, you read it right: 724 steps. For professional
hikers, this is a cheese. But for the neophytes, I tell you, you'll be sweating
it out (good thing you have your water and towels with you).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
But is it worth it? Not much actually. You'll just see a big white cross at the
top with just a bunch of sea and island views you normally see on travel shows,
just too mainstream (insert sarcasm here). Of course, it is
totally worth it, beyond 100%. On the eastern view, lays beautifully
landscaped mountains architected by nature. Boulders of rocks connected
through time and designed by greens is what you'll expect. Folks describe it as
a sleeping lady, as the shape of the mountains tell so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

On the western part is a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Here, group of
islands are blending with the sunset to give the best snapshot for our
Instagrams. I've given you a travel tip: best time to hike Mt. Tapyas is
before sunset. Also, it is discouraged to climb the mountain at dark. On the south-western part gives you green rolling hills view.
The green that gives you kicks, definitely. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Now, I know you got tired from hiking. Don't worry, the next stop is perfect.
Your sore muscles will be relieved on Maquinit Hotspring, located on the
southern part of the island and a 30-minute ride (costs Php300.00 / $6.00 round
trip). The hotspring ticketing admission is open until 20:00 and as a tip, be
there at least an hour before ticketing closing time. You could stay here until
22:00 in the evening. The hotspring is salt water and the temperature ranges from
35degC to 40degC. Hot on your first dip. But addicting that you don't want to
get out of the water. This is an open area where you'll get to enjoy the night
at your own time under the beams of a Philippine summer moon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
As a travel tip: bring your board shorts and bikinis to enjoy this hotspring.
Your drinking water is also important as the hot temperature is dehydrating.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I have served the appetizers. Now, let's move to
our main course. Are your snorkeling skills ready? Because it will be all wet
for the day. First on the list, is Siete Pecados. "Siete Pecados"
coming from the Spanish phrase - "Seven Deadly Sins". According
to legend, seven children went out here without their mother's consent and
died. After some time, seven rock formations appeared that now is called Siete
Pecados. Fret not and don't be scared, you don't have to worry as that was just
a folk story and now, this is a marine park and a haven for thousands of
different fish species.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
You can enjoy snorkeling here while observing fishes flashing in different
colors. Hold your breath and take a dive deeper to get to know the fishes
better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Snorkeling items are available for rent at a low price (Php 250.00 / $ 5.00)
for the whole day. Not bad. You can also ask it on the hotel you are
staying. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Next stop is the skeleton ship wreck near the Atwayan Beach. Looking through
google, there are many ship wrecks in Coron exciting for diving. But
this site is found on a shallow part only (around 20 meters) and good for snorkelling, though
deeper compared to Siete Pecados. One can even take a deep breath and with a
push, can touch the shipwreck under.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Schools of fishes often swarm the area. You'll definitely enjoy the moment

your grandma will be proud of - a garden! But, not your typical garden
beautifully grown with roses and tulips, but with alive and kicking corals
varying on colors, sizes and shapes. The coral garden occupies a wide area and you'll have
all the space that you'll need. Amazingly, it is just a few feet from the
shore. An hour is not enough for you to enjoy the area. Yes, the place is
really enchanting as the corals wave on the dance of the sea.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">You are enjoying too much under water. Let's
move on and start to appreciate the views above sea. First, the famous KAYANGAN
LAKE. So famous, that I checked the National Geograpic if they have a photo of
this. They have it thus confirming the place's famousity. To see this lake, one has to climb up a trail
and climb down to the lake - good workout! Before heading down to the lake,
pause and appreciate the moment of seeing the cove. The view here is
worth it. The rock formation at the center was perfectly positioned to match
the dazzling sea colored with blue-green where the boats playfully add the
cinematic theme of the cove. Though a number of boats would appear anchored during noon time.</span></div>

actually brackish water - seawater and freshwater are combined. Floating would
be as easy as fly, but for safety, all tourists are required to wear life vests
and swim not beyond the buoys. Locals (Tagbanuas) are present to look after the
area. Wooden platforms are present in the area, and you can lay your things on
these platforms before jumping on this cool water.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

outer lagoon surrounded by rock cliffs is where boats could anchor, while the
inner lagoon is reachable through a cave which is passable on low tide. On high
tide, people can use the ladder to climb up the rocks. Passing through the cave
gives a more exciting kick and adrenaline rush. The inner lagoon is surrounded
by high walls starting from the bottom where the depth is unimaginable. I
couldn't even see how deep it was.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">To cool down everything from high junkie
activities, it is now time to enjoy the relaxing sands of the beach. Where to
go? PASS ISLAND. Here, solitude and tranquility partner the white sand, green
coconut tress and rich blue sea to give each one a memorable experience. This
is the usual stop where non-mainstream tourists can enjoy lunch under the
coconut trees and the cool breeze of the day. Less people visit this place.
Good news since we'll have all the space that we want. Take a rest on their
hammocks or just lay on the sands. Play on the water, or enjoy snorkeling
around the island. Interesting is, you'll meet dogs bred to understand what hospitality
is. Yes, dogs, the four-legged mammals that also enjoys the warmth of the sun, the beach and the cool waters. Don't b afraid to be friends with their dogs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to pick is DARAYONAN LODGE. Their staff is really accommodating and the
services are really okay. It is not a five-star hotel. Simple, chic and cheap
yet satisfying. From airport transfers, equipment rentals and tour packages,
the lodge provides all at the guest's convenience. The tour packages would include entrance fees to your destinations, your lunch and even boat rentals. All you need to do is just spell F.U.N. all throughout your trip. We tried this lodge for
twice now, and we didn't regret it. Contact them now thru here:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Island would take you to these scenic views naturally packed with rugged
coasts, slopes covered in free-flowing greens with a background sound
of perfectly timed roars of the seas. A perfect moment that can be enjoyed

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">The island is
naturally laidback where locals and nature are living every day on a harmonious
relationship. There are few establishments and roads free from exhaust fumes
and heavy traffic. Well, part of the laidback atmosphere is the fact that
electricity here is not available 24 hours and runs only from 12 noon to 12
midnight. Cellular signals are present though, but expect that these are weak
at some parts. It is part of the experience so just go with it. With a
serene community, tourists can be confident of their safety and can surely enjoy
the trip. The locals are accommodating and warm too. One can find solitude
in visiting this island very well-known for its seven massive rock
formations found on its northern coast: Magasang, Bel-at, Magsapad, Caranas,
Macadlaw, Puhunan and Pinanahawan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I have visited this
place on July of 2016, but I would recommend that you visit it on the dry
season (late February to early June). Biri Island can be reached from
Luzon Island by taking a ro-ro boat from Matnog, Sorsogon to Allen N. Samar.
The trip took more than an hour and costs PHP 140.00 pesos ($3.00) including
its terminal fee. From Allen N. Samar, you can take a tricycle to Lavezares N.
Samar. Me and my friend paid PHP 300.00 ($6.00) total for the tricycle.
From Lavazares, ride a passenger boat to Biri Island. The trip will take for
more than an hour and will cost you 50.00 ($1.00). Be prepared as the total
cost can be split to the number of its passengers. Brace yourself as
the journey starts with the welcoming big and strong sea waves. I
suggest that you drink a medicine before this trip.</span><br />

Upon arriving on Biri Island port, you can easily get your habal-habal
(motorbike) to take you to your accommodation in the town’s center. The ride
costs 10.00 pesos. Habal-habal is the most common mode of transportation in the
island. Talk to your habal-habal driver because he will be your guide
while you are on your trip. We could get a justifiable rate of PHP800 for the
trip for two persons to Magasang and Bel-at rock formations.</span></div>

First stop, the Tourism Center, few minutes’ walk from the Biri Resort Dive
Center, to pay a tourist fee that costs PHP 50.00 ($1.00). It is a
minimal fee for the maintenance of tourism services in the island. Also, you
can eat here since restaurants or food shops are not common in the island.
The Tourism Center offers rice meals, pasta, sandwiches and the like. After
defeating hunger, our journey continues.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">On the way to our
first stop, Magasang rock formation, one can already enjoy the picturesque view
of the sea and the greens. The legend has it, as relayed by our
habal-habal driver, that the rock formations are inhabited by fairies and
one must keep quiet during the tour for not to disturb them. Also, as
folks said that once there lived a lovely woman in the place named Berbinota,
showing the resemblance of a woman's shape in the rock formation left of
Magsapad's. From this woman is where the town took its name.</span></div>

once you arrived the rock formation, path is slippery and there would be steep
slopes, and I suggest you to be careful. But thanks to that waves, as through
time it has created a masterpiece the Biri island treasures. The place
resembles that of the green slopes of Batanes, where the grasses dances to the
rhythm of the wind. This rock formation alone, already justified the cost
of the trip.</span></div>

Magasang, we are on our way to our next rock formation the Bel-At. It was a few
minutes ride on the habal-habal from the Magasang to Bel-at. In Bel-at, you'll
have to cross the wooden bridge matched with the lush vegetation of mangrove forests
and coconut trees. At the end of the bridge, an amazing surprise awaits you: a
big tidal pool that invites every visitor to take a dip on its cool waters. We
took a swim and enjoyed the natural pool, but don't stop there. Go up to the
top of the rock formation to get a wider view and a better snapshot.</span></div>

rock formation ends our day trip to Biri Island and I call it quits. I got
satisfied with what I saw and with what I experienced. This is not an ordinary
island I should say and an experience I can be proud to share. But let's not
just stick to the famous rock formations the island offers. It is also a good
place go for camping, rock climbing, snorkeling, bird watching and surfing.
Start to grab your bags now and start the trip that ROCKS.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It was the peak of MERS virus in Korea when me and my friends took a journey. I was very reluctant at that time because of fear. My interest going to South Korea subsided day by day because news channels were all talking about MERS. But still, we did go. I have already paid for the airline tickets and the accommodation, and that would cost me a lot. Besides, I'm thinking that it would give a little spice to the trip.</span></div>

On June of 2015, me and my friends took a 4-day off from our work to discover the country. Korea offered us a big basket of exiting things to discover and we were only able to get a handful. Probably that's the reason that we should go back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">We stayed in Namsan Guest House No. 3 during this trip. Check their address here: N<a href="http://www.namsanguesthouse.com/namsan5/pay_e.htm" target="_blank">amsan Guest House</a>. The place is accessible since it is in the Myeong-dong Area. From our window, we could see the N-Seoul Tower. The place is indeed comfortable. On my trips, I usually check the staff's behavior towards their clients, and this one is a thumbs up! They are good in English and very accommodating.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It delighted me a lot seeing trams in Hiroshima. To my excitement, I quickly jumped on the tram that I needed and started to explore the city.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hiroshima is a very famous place especially on history books due to the atomic bomb dropped by the Americans on the later part of World War II. Seeing the place now, decades after the war, Hiroshima stands at its own glory to continually remind the world about peace.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Hiroshima Peace Memorial, one of Hiroshima's well known landmarks, was preserved to commemorate the lives who sacrificed during the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A few hundred meters from the Atomic Bomb Dome is where the Hiroshima Place Memorial Museum is located. It is normally open from 8:30 to 18:00. During the month of August, it closes at 19:00 while from December to February, it closes at 17:00. The fee is not expensive (50 yen) and one can grab the chance to understand more the facts in the museum about the tragic bombing.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">One can reach the place by taking the tram line 2 or 6 from Hiroshima Station to Genbaku-Domu Mae station. The ride will approximately take 15 minutes and will cost you 160 yen.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">From the Peace Memorial Park, one can visit the Hiroshima Castle. It is a 15-minute walk. Another option is taking a 10-minute walk from Kamiyacho-Nishi or Kamiyacho-Higashi tram stop (a 12-minute ride from Hiroshima station by lines 1, 2 or 6 and will cost you 160 yen).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

The fee to the main keep is only at 370 yen and the rest of the castle grounds is free.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The original Hiroshima castle was also destroyed during the 1945 bombing. What stands now is the replica of the original. It was rebuilt on 1958 and now serves as the museum for Hiroshima's history prior to World War II.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">To feel Hiroshima's rich flavour, one must try the local style of the "Okonomiyaki". It is a different swing compared to other okonomiyakis I tried. It has its own unique flavour and noodles making it stand out. I bet, you'll be coming back for more because its a two-thumbs up for me. Their okonomiyaki shops are scattered everywhere, so you'll never have a hard time looking for one. I tried the one in the train station, and it did not fail me.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: orange;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TOMONOURA, JAPAN:</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">On this 2015 year end holidays, one of my trips is visiting Tomonoura.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Tomonoura is a simple port town 14 kilometers south of Fukuyama Station (35-minute trip by bus from the station) in the Numakuma Peninsula. Two reasons why I decided to make a visit here are:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">1. I'm a Ghibli fan, and this location was where the creator found inspiration for his film Ponyo (you guys should watch Ponyo).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">2. "The Wolverine" movie was shot here. I saw Hugh Jackman's photo on one of the town's park.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">So I guess, those 2 reasons kept me very interested on this trip.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The place is simple yet so calming. You have a very good view of the sea, and of course lined with old picturesque Japanese houses. Its a walk back to yesterday in serenity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Another advantage of this place is there are very few foreign tourists. Since all the sight-seeing spots are within reach, walking is very much enjoyable. You can take a good shot in your camera without photo bombers and of course a good selfie to serve as your souvenir.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Start your trip by taking a bus infront of Fukuyama Station. Buses bound for "Tomo Port" run every 20 minutes at bus stop No. 5. There were no English signs and I just asked the bus driver for confirmation. The trip is around 30 minutes (520 yen) going to the "Tomonoura" bus stop, and 35 minutes (550 yen) to the "Tomo Port" bus stop.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The "Tomonura" bus stop is near the visitors' center. For my case, I proceeded to the "Tomo Port". From the bus stop, walking to the attractions is recommended. You could take snapshots of those classic and lovely houses and alleys of the town.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I went immediately to the "Joyato Lighthouse". It is around 35 feet tall and serves as a symbol of the town.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Another famous attraction here is the Bentenjima island. Ferries touring around the island are available and its ferry station can be found between the "Tomonoura" and "Tomo Port" bus stop. If you have no plans of going to the island, I recommend you take a photo from the Fukuzenji temple. From its temple window, you could get good framing for your photos. Fukuzenji Temple has an admission of 200 yen and is on a top of a hill near the "Tomo Port" bus stop.</span></div>

The place is posh and elite but will definitely bring you close to nature, as I to describe. The climate is cooler (negative temperatures on a winter) just perfect for their snow sports like skiing and snowboarding. If not into sports, walking around the town is another best option. Check for walking/cycling routes from Karuizawa Information Guides available in their Tourist Information Center. Center is found within the train station. Also, Karuizawa is a home of fancy brands (from Hermes, Chanel to sports giants Nike and Adidas). Hit their stores and ready your shopping bags. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Start the day by having your hot coffee in the Yamato Cafe just outside the train station. If lucky, you could get a seat near the window to have a good view of the place. You could request their staff for a good seat. The staff welcomes guests as good as their coffee.</span></div>

From Yamato Cafe, start your trip to the Kumoba Pond. It takes 1.3 kilometers by foot to reached the pond. On your way, you can explore more of the town and a path with trees and cabins. Tiring? No. With the cold atmosphere and interesting views, its relaxing indeed.</div>

Irozaki ligthouse is located at the tip of the Izu Peninsula and takes an almost hour drive from the Izukyu-Shimoda. From the bus stop, be prepared for a 20-minute hike going to the top of the rocky hill. Don't worry, the walkway is paved and your hiking is all worth it. You'll not really sweat a lot due to chilly weather. At the top, you could get a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean with dramatic rock formations, as I to describe. Just perfect for your worry-free day. Bring out your camera and start for tons of selfies.</span></span></div>

Take a stroll on their Narcissus Garden. Its free. Also, check the columnar joint, "Tawara-iso". You'll need to work on your joints here because of a simple hike going to the lighthouse.<br /><br />Ja!<br /><br />Let me know your experience inthe Izu Peninsula.

<i><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The first time I was asked to join for the Cotabato trip, I took first a pause in my need-to-decide brain, "Am I going? Really? In Cotabato?". It was a tough decision but I bravely said "Yes, I'm going." and the trip was proceeded.</span></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> I have to be honest, I am really reluctant in going to the trip because I'm scared. I just heard news about rebels in that place. I'm afraid of guns and military. And when I'm promoting the Philippines to my foreign friends, I usually advise them to limit their visits to Luzon, Visayas and Northern Mindanao areas only due to security concerns but if they insist to go beyond Mindanao (where Cotabato is), I strongly advise them to be alert and vigilant. I know I'm already a fool at this part, and I do not want to generalize the Mindanao area. I just want to prioritize the safety after hearing lots of sad stories from the news. That's my ideology before landing my foot in Mindanao. Obviously, that thinking change when I got enchanted by Cotabato.</span></i><br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">My mates and I took a trip this year, 2014 from July 25 to 27. The trip was a short one and our main goal was to see the mystic waterfalls and the majestic mosque that everyone was talking about.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">From Manila, take a flight to the Cotabato airport. We took the Cebu Pacific airline. The trip was a 1 and 1/2 hour trip.</span><br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Upon reaching the airport, we took a tricycle to reach the highway. The cost is 10 pesos (below $1.00) per head. Upon reaching the highway, we took a jeepney going to plaza where our hotel is located. Its a 15 to 20 minutes trip to the plaza and costs around 20 pesos per head.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">By the way, $1 = 43.0 pesos.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">We were booked in Hotel Filipino and Restaurant (+63(64)421-2307). The hotel is expected to be simple because of its inexpensive price. For a 2-night stay, we paid 2,100 pesos ($50.0). It has a good air conditioning, acceptable beds, television, hot shower and a breakfast. Its perfect for its location because of its accessibility in the town.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Our group just made a quick wash-up and off to our first day in Cotabato. By foot, we reached the Sultan Kudarat Statue in PC Hill.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Basically, the statue is the only attraction in the area. Around the park, you could see people offering massage. Don't worry, the massage is genuinely wholesome. Take a splurge into their massage to try. We made quick photo shots with the statue and went to see the People's Park.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">From the PC Hill, jeepneys are again available en route to the People's Park. Its just a 10-minute ride and would cost you minimum charge. The People's Park is actually where the government offices are housed. It is described as a combined ethno-modern architectural. One thing that caught my attention was the Muslim-inspired roof and searching for an information, I arrived that it depicts royalty and the rich culture of the place.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">We ended our first day in visiting the People's Park. We headed back to our hotel after. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Our second day started at 8:00 in the morning. We took our breakfast in the hotel and went to the Weena bus terminal downtown (Don Rufino Alonzo Street). We were bound to Libungan Public Terminal. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">From the Libungan terminal, we took a motorbike going to the registration area of the Asik-Asik Falls. This one is a one and a half ride with some roads very rough that the tire of the motorbike has chains in it to prevent slipping. The motorbike costs $25.00. This includes the gas and driver's fee.</span><br />

But along the way, you'll be able to appreciate more of nature because of the view. Just simply staring at the green fields, artistically crafted blue clouds and the warmth of the sun already gave me the much needed pause I need from stress.</span></span></div>

Its a must try, and comes best with egg. The cost is not that expensive, and already enough for lunch. Don't worry about your drinks, you can drink from the natural stream. Just remember, don't leave your garbage in the waterfalls area. Bring it back to the registration area for proper disposal.</span></span></div>

A well-known mosque, funded by the Sultan of Brunei, that displays the grandeur of the Muslim tradition. The place can be reached by riding a motorbike in the highway. Motorbikes are available in front of the Husky Terminal and would cost $4.00 round trip. It is a 5 km trip. Just remember, this is a religious place and decent behaviour is expected.</span></span></div>

you are dreaming of. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine the
beaches, sand and oh, clear, blue water! The tips are explained as simple as
possible. Personally, Kiko doesn’t want to read very long paragraphs. Before
proceeding, let Kiko give you a brief background about El Nido.</span></div>

the northernmost tip of mainland Palawan, the Philippines, covering a land area
of 465.1 square kilometres. Best well known for its rock skyscrapers, clear
blue lagoons and picturesque beaches, El Nido has become popular and tagged as
the Philippines’ Best Beach and Island destination in 2012 by CNNGo.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has also become a haven for divers because
of its rich marine life: dugongs, turtles, manta rays, fishes, corals and
sharks. A large number of dive sites are available having depths ranging from 6
to more than 30 metres.</span></div>

note that electricity in the town runs from 14:00 to 6:00 the following morning

Pulag: Philippines at its finest at 2922mASL<br />
I thought I was in a shooting location of Lord of the Rings. "Where will the elves suddenly spring from the mossy forest with their fancy bows?, or is it the same path the dwarves walked into when they were traveling?" Then I suddenly realized, I'm still in the Philippines and I am in Mt. Pulag."<br />

Mt. Pulag with a boasting 2,922 m above sea level is one of the many wonders Philippines could offer to excited mountaineers. It is very famous for its "sea of clouds", and there is no doubt about it. The view was enticingly magnificent, the world is at your horizon.<br />
<br />
My friends and I tried it this April 4 to 5, 2014. Its a planned 2-day trek. We took the Ambangeg trail, the best trail for first timers and non-professional climbers. According to pinoymountaineer.com, the Ambangeg trail has a difficulty of 3/9.<br />
<br />
So how do you get there? From Manila, our team took a bus in Cubao, EDSA bound for Baguio. There are numerous bus liners that you could get, but I recommend the Victory Liner (<a href="http://www.victoryliner.com/">http://www.victoryliner.com/</a>) due to their in-time departures and safety.<br />
<br />
<b>HERE'S AN INFO: <span style="color: red;">NO PERMIT, NO CLIMB.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Philippine government now is properly controlling the numbers of climbers of Mt. Pulag. This helps in ensuring that the mountain is maintained at its natural beauty. Check first the available schedule in the DENR. I checked other blogs (thephilippinemountaineering.com) and arrive to this contact: Ms. Emerita Albas, The Park Superintendent.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(+63) 919-631-5402.</i></span><br />

<br />
<br />
Once you arrive in Baguio, you could arrange jeepneys bound to DENR office, and later to the Ranger Station. A stop is required in the DENR station for proper orientation when climbing. A 15-minute video was presented and a small talk was later made. The whole orientation discusses about the do's and don'ts when climbing. Remember, the place is sacred for the locals, and proper respect is required. The mountaineers are also required to log in their log sheet.<br />

<br />
Once done, the jeepney trip is to be continued until the Ranger Station, about an additional hour ride. Once you have arrived in the Ranger Station, ensure that you register in their office. A guide is also secured in here as a policy, and if you require a porter, you could inquire here.<br />
<br />
Prep-up? then the trek begins. There are two (2) camps in the Ambangeg trail. The first camp can be reached for an estimated time of 2 hours. From Camp 1, an estimated additional 2-hour trek is required to reach Camp 2. A cold night is spent in Camp 2.<br />
<br />
Day 2 of the trek is started very early in the morning. This is to catch the magnificent sunrise with a perfect combination of the "sea of clouds". From Camp 2, an estimated 1-hour trek is to be made.<br />

2. Tent<br />
3. Cook set<br />
4. Earth pad<br />

Japan: Philippines' 5th PyroMusical Competition<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The night was filled again with wonderful lights of fireworks, precisely choreographed with outstanding music from the teams of France and Japan in the annual Philippines' PyroMusical Competition. March 1, 2014 is the 3rd night of the competition and personally, the competition's experience is really kept well at its climax. Everybody was in awe to the majesty of the performances.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The competition's 3rd night started at 19:30 with a simple program followed by the beaming pyromusical performance from France's <span>Brezac Articfices. I have to agree that the performance exudes elegance. With the choice of music, the audience was swayed with magic.</span></span></span><br />
