The Visayas
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 21 September 2010

The Wet Market
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 14 August 2010
Without sampling Boracay’s delicious seafood, the white-sand beaches and turquoise waters would only be half the fun. For budget-conscious travelers, the word “seafood” might ring an alarm bell – and for good reason. Seafood prices here can be exorbitant. Luckily, upon exploring the busy D’Talipapa market area, we discovered an exciting alternative to the overpriced [...]

Family & Friends in the Philippines
Blog: Around The World On The Toilet - 5 February 2010
by Lianna and Nick Unlike most backpackers, we had the opportunity to experience Manila the way of a local…a local Canadian diplomat that is. We originally decided to get over to the Philippines when I remembered my Dad’s cousin John and his wife Aileen, live there to work for the Canadian government. Staying four days in their gorgeous house, sleeping in, doing laundry and appreciating the delicious (western!) food was great downtime to get us back in the mood for traveling. Manilla comes as quite a shock from the other ...

O Boracay
Blog: the reX-Files.ca - 5 February 2010
This little island is quite amazing. The emerald, sea green ocean, the long stretch of white sandy beaches paralleled with an abundance of restaurants of various cuisines .... and of course, buffets with "bottom-less iced teas" that try to under price and out smörgåsbord each other (we found one for as low as PHP 250).

Been hearing not so good reviews about how the place had become too commercialized. Nonetheless, I was excited about the trip since the whole family hasn't been out together on vacation in looong while. Too long, in fact.
