By the Hoan Kiem Lake – Hanoi, Vietnam

Hoan Kiem Lake or “Lake of the Restored Sword” is probably the most scenic spot in Hanoi (that I know of). When we went there, it was – no kidding – literally filled with people. Not in an I-can’t-breathe kind of way, but in a this-is-just-such-a-nice-place-to-stay kind. Despite such, it is still clean and picturesque.

Temple Hopping in Hanoi, Vietnam

Temples again? Well, yeah. In almost every country we go to, it is almost a must to see a temple or church or two. Religion is a very huge part of culture. I am not religious, mind you, but I find that getting a feel of a people’s religion is essential to understanding who they are. […]

Going Around Eskaya Beach Resort in Bohol: The Infinity Pool

Previously, I shared a post on the villa we stayed in at Eskaya Beach Resort in Bohol. The resort is really not huge at all. As mentioned before, it consists of only fifteen villas, a majority of which are made for two. Of course, this kind of privacy and serenity is something that you’d need […]

Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar, Bataan: Time Traveling to the 1800’s

Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar, Bataan – I tried googling the translation of this, and all that appears is “Filipino households acuzar”, which in my opinion doesn’t make any sense at all. My guess is that it means something like “The Filipino Houses of Acuzar” and Acuzar is actually a proper name. I figured maybe […]

Olympic Point (Tingloy, Batangas): Family Photos

Finally. I went with my family to Olympic Point in Tingloy Batangas in April – that was holy week. We were determined to not stay at home for a change and so we practically called every possible resort we know to try and reserve. We failed. It was just too close to holy week. And just […]

Pearl Farm Beach Resort: The Beach

Here we go, the best part of Pearl Farm Beach Resort: the beach(es)! The resort has a couple of – whatchamacallit – shores you can hang out in. This one is but one of them. This is actually man-made, so it’s not that wide, but the sand is very fine.
