Everything is Mickey and nothing hurts.  Look at the train.

Hong Kong 2011: The Peak

Leave a Comment
This is my first out-of-the-country trip with my sister!  We so wanted to go to Disneyland together, but we did that on Day 2.

On Day 1, we roamed random streets of HK and then went to The Peak, the highest point where you can see all of HK.  We got to ride the tram, which is bent upwards like 45 degrees or whatever. It was so uncomfortable.  BUt the view makes up for it.

We got to the top and immediately went to see Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum.

Camiguin 2011: One-Stop Shop

Leave a Comment
A Camiguin local once told me back in 2009 that their island is a one-stop shop.  They have beaches, cold spings, hot springs, you name it.  Unfortunately, I was not able to tour back then because I was too busy examining a closed bank (hmmmph!).

On my second time going to Camiguin, my friends and I did it all!

Cagayan de Oro 2011: White-water Rafting

Leave a Comment
During our annual Teambuilding activity, we went to Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin.  When you go to CDO for a vacation, you should always take a sidetrip to Camiguin, but this is for another post.

In CDO, I think the only thing you can do other than food tripping is white-water rafting.

Bukidnon 2011: Dahilayan Adventure Park

Leave a Comment
I was sent to Iligan last year but during the weekend, we took a side trip to Bukidnon’s Dahilayan Park, where we heard has the longest zipline in Asia.

They had three lines that time and we tried them all.  Too bad I don’t have a digital picture of me in the longest one.  I have a video though.  But it’s for my personal viewing (dis)pleasure only.  This one was a shorter line, and the photo was taken by my friend.

Vietnam 2011: Nha Trang

Leave a Comment
When going to another country, it’s not enough to just see the city.  Seeing the rural side is also a must!

And so we found Vietnam’s beachside, Nha Trang.  From Saigon, we took a six-hour overnight train to reach this breath of fresh salty air.

Vietnam 2011: The City of Saigon

Leave a Comment
This is actually my first ever out of the country trip.  My friends and I didn’t plan this.  It just happened… or more likely, a seat sale happened.

Ho Chi Minh City is the official name now but Saigon has certain ring to it.

Anyway, we went there with no itinerary at all.  It was like, anything goes!  So the first thing we did as tourists was to roam around the city, and the products of our walkathons are here below.
