WHY I LOVE MY PHILIPPINES

   PHILIPPINE TRAVELOGUE  One of the fantastic things about being in the Philippines is that you don’t need to take long-haul flights to reach some of the most desirable holiday destinations. The Philippines is only seven hours from cities such as Sydney or Melbourne in Australia as well as just a few hours from the sights of China, Thailand and Japan. If you’re considering getting away to far-flung beauty spots on last minute holidays, take the time to research popular options such as Turkey and Egypt.

Philippines: Boracay

Boracay is still one of my favourite places though you can get "Schnitzel" and "Gulasch" now. It's a very small island with a great beach and you can only get there by boat. There is no foodbridge so you have to walk through the water to get there. The reason why I still like it is because you can have everything. You can dance the night away to party music or you can sit in a small bar with soft or no music right on the beach. You can eat "Cordon blue" but also a whole fresh fished grilled right in front of you. You can meet a lot of people but you can also spend a whole day and night alone if you like. I rent a motorbike for 4 hours but I needed it only for two because the island is so small. So though there are a lot of people, many bars and restaurants, sometimes algae in the water and all the other disadvantages of a tourist place it's still a kind of magic over there, I would call it: The magic of an island!
