Days Hotel Pampanga San Fernando Pampanga

I was looking forward to Mt Pinatubo and the lake was truly stunning but there was no real trek to get there and that ...

Arrived at manila to find my mate Karl waiting for me , jumpt into a taxi and headed to a city called Angeles. We got there in about a hour to find my bloody cards did not work, the fraud squad had shut them all down "****ers" so i had to phone england to ...

... back to the hotel too grab my camera. We ended up staying out quite late and drank more beers that we should've, but fortunately we remembered to drink plenty of the water provided in coolers around our hotel before going to bed. The next day we still both woke up to hangovers and headaches and found out that we had to move rooms, since ours was reserved somebody else that day. The Ramada Hotel had no other standard rooms available, but we were ...

In the afternoon I went to Angles City because that's where my flight back to Bangkok was from. Clark Airfield, the former US airbase, has some budget airlines flying to and from it. It is actually cheaper to fly with Cebu Pacific from Clark than from Manila. This time I took the Philippine Rabbit bus company because it didn't make ...

... Clark. Filipino's call it SM for short (super mall) and it was that....huge! I walked around some and felt a bit out of place. 99.999% of the people were FIlipino (obviously), but I only seen 3 maybe 4 other white guys. Anyway, I found a Dunkin Donuts in the SM so I hit it quick! Tasty coffee and a donut, yummmmmmmy! After some more rest back at my hotel, I headed out to walk around and stuff. I went into a ...

... Kühe und Rheier. Und Philippinen natürlich. Die meisten von Ihnen sitzen oder liegen in, auf oder um ihre Hütten herum und gucken. Eine doch etwas zu fade Lebensweise für unseren Geschmack :) Kurz nach unsere Ankunft in Roxas ging es dann mit dem Boot auf die Insel. Das Wetter war mies, vor lauter Regen dachte man ständig, "da vorne" hört das Meer auf und klatscht gegen eine Wand. Ziemlich erschöpft kamen wir nach dann nach 1,5 Stunden auf Coco Loco an und kurze Zeit später ...

Hey There Everyone, Jeepneys, tricycles, merienda, siesta, and air-con are just a few words commonly used in Filipino daily life that we probably don't often use back home in Canada. During our time here in the Philippines, our main form of transportation aside from our own private vehicle has been jeepneys and tricycles. We constantly have meriendas (snacks) after each program we do, as well as at random times throughout the day. Siestas (mid-day naps ...

Magandang Araw Po Say Un Lahat, (Good Day to You All) We have been in the Philippines for about a week now, and it has already been amazing to get involved with the Filipino culture and start building relationships. We arrived in Manila last Tuesday at about noon and were really excited because we had already seen God working in helping us find a lost ...

After a 4 hour flight with new budget airline Tiger Airways. I finally landed in Clark, Luzon, Philippines. Not doing my research on The Philippines was my first mistake. Because I would have realized Clark is not in Manila, in fact it is 70km north of Manila. I was unusually calm. Because this was the sort of adventure I was after. <br><br> I made my way of of the old airbase. To a crowd of ...

... else. I said Filipino food, so this was the place. It was a great place with scenic views of the volcano and lake. We ate some typical regional dishes family style at the table: fried sardines (which somehow evolved into freshwater fish from the lake below)-you eat the whole fish including the head and tail...and another large fish stuffed with vegetables and meat and was broiled until the skin was crispy. We also had ...
