Backpacking in the Philippines

Backpacking in the Philippines

Backpacking Hotels and comfort are what most people think when taking a vacation abroad. To be treated like a King or a Queen adds to the feeling of being pampered and relaxed. However, isn't one hotel mostly just like another? Maybe you are missing out on something too? The vacation can … [Read more...]

The Taste of Dog

April 15, 2016 by John Grant Leave a Comment

dogmeat

After being trussed, muzzled with rusty cans and slaughtered, they end up in restaurants which flout the law to satisfy the growing taste for dog meat. Customers dine on dog’s head, considered a delicacy, for the equivalent of £2.50. A dish of dog liver costs about £1.80 while a particular … [Read more...]

Taxi Thefts in the Philippines

December 18, 2015 by John Grant 3 Comments

taxi Philippines

Ask anyone about the taxi drivers in the Philippines and we can all tell stories of being taken to the wrong places, meters not switched on and even worse with one of my friends being kidnapped and forced to go to an ATM or he would be pushed over a bridge. Lucky he had the peace of mind to … [Read more...]

Philippine stores

Having lived in Davao City and Manila for many years I had become accustomed to the ability to get some things done, not much I admit, but some. For those who have never yet experienced Manila nothing is simple. A trip to the supermarket is mostly frustrated but out of stocks and staff who have not … [Read more...]

Tampo Get Used To It

February 26, 2015 by Perry Gamsby Leave a Comment

Tampo Get Used To It

There is one word in Filipino that nearly every Kano knows, and many dread. Tampo. In a nutshell it is the withdrawing of one’s feelings and affection for someone they feel has offended them in some way. It is a very ethnic Malay thing with the Malaysians and Indonesians (ethnically the same race) … [Read more...]

Catching The Bus

November 14, 2014 by Perry Gamsby Leave a Comment

Buses in the Philippines

  There are buses in the Philippines. Some are what we would call ‘coaches’, well equipped, comfortable long distance mass transit vehicles. Others are little more than rattle-trap death machines, hurtling around blind corners only millimeters from the edge of a very deep precipice. None the … [Read more...]

Self-Drive Rentals

Cars for Rent I know many readers might think I am suicidal, but I much prefer to drive myself when in the Philippines. Having lived there for several years I not only got used to the chaos that is the average Filipino thoroughfare, I rather enjoy the adventure. If you are visiting for a week or … [Read more...]

Driving In The Philippines – The National Highways

Driving In The Philippines – The National Highways

I love driving in the Philippines. When I was living in Cebu in the early years of the 21st Century I actually made a video with a friend of mine, Jim Sibbick, with him filming while I drove ‘The Red Terror’ around the busy streets of Cebu City. The video showcased the heavy traffic, ridiculous … [Read more...]
