Living in the Moment: travel 2017

Sunway Lagoon is the first theme park I've gone to that both have attraction rides and water theme parks. I mean it's like 2-in-1 which means twice the fun of a regular theme park! I actually haven't heard about Sunway Lagoon until we went to Kuala Lumpur.
People often think of Legoland when they go to Malaysia but what people don't know (including me) prior to research, is that Legoland is really far from Kuala Lumpur. I mean if you want to visit Legoland, might as well come from Singapore. It's actually closer to Singapore than Malaysia's capital.

Hola! So I've been MIA in the past weeks and it's only until now that I had the time (because ASEAN summit holiday) and the feels to blog. I'm not really in the mood to write and blog in the past weeks and I don't wanna force it so I just had some time off with blogging and enjoyed life outside the blog. Lol!

Our official last touring day in our backpacking journey! So our last stop? Bangkok! We're allotting 1 full day for Bangkok as we don't need much time to see this city as we've already seen Bangkok's beauty on our last backpacking journey before this one.
You see, Thailand is beautifully placed in the middle of everything that's why when you see people backpacking in Southeast Asia, Thailand is always on the list. You will not run out of things to do and buses to its neighboring countries are easily accessible.

Before anything else, I know you might be wondering why would a person visit Laos, and what can we see in Laos, btw? So for starters, if you haven't seen my Luang Prabang travel diaries, better head there now. And Vientiane? Well, this is the capital of Laos and to be honest, there isn't much to see but as an avid traveler, I am trying to visit all Southeast Asian countries before I explore other places. As the saying goes, love your own. You see, Philippines is part of SEA so there...

Our second day in Luang Prabang was mostly about touring other scenic spots that don't include temples. If you have already visited Indochina, then you'll probably get what I mean when I say temples. Not just one or two. Heck, not even five! There's just too many that after some time in the country, you'll get used to seeing temples everywhere.

If you're going to search for things to do in Luang Prabang, then I'll tell you, every page you will see will most certainly suggest going to see Kuang Si Falls found on the South part of the province and is 29km away from the town center.

Well, for one, I got to see many visit worthy places, while the other is if you haven't read this post (From Getting Ripped Off in Hanoi to Struggling to Change Money and Almost Losing my Passport in Luang Prabang) yet, you better check it now. :)

Isla de Gigantes, Carles Iloilo Philippines

This is actually the highlight of my first solo travel ever. Remember my trip to Roxas City and how it almost didn't push through? It was indeed a memorable one as I've experienced a lot of first times. I was even adopted for the night by my father's friend that's living in Roxas. The locals are indeed very nice. I also got to see many visit-worthy places in Roxas.
And you know what's intense? I had mumps all throughout this trip that it barely pushed through, but luckily, the odds are in my favor. ;) And don't worry, I was already recovering so I am assuring you guys I am no longer contagious when I took this trip. :)

Finally! This is the last post on our Bacolod-Iloilo-Guimaras tour last January. Yes, you read that right, last January and I am only blogging it now. Haha! I'm trying to catch up on my backlogs one by one but it just keeps on coming! Loool. But anyway, I am not really complaining, keep the new adventures coming. 😉

Dear Travelers, Do not Travel for the sake of Passport Stamps - Explore the Country

We've all been there. Being such in a hurry to visit as many places as we can. To get as much passport stamps as we can. It's not bad to visit all as many countries as you can in one go. But you know what's bad and is not doing any good in the long run?? It's when you visit as many countries as you can in a few days!

Luang Prabang is a small province but definitely has a big history to boast. I never thought I will be able to visit Laos anytime soon as this country doesn't have a direct flight from Manila. I also know no one who already went to this country so I was quite excited to incorporate this place in our backpacking tour around some countries in Indochina. What I know when planning this trip was I just have to create an itinerary that will let us travel to different Southeast Asian countries, and by Southeast Asian countries, I mean Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand.

From Getting Ripped off in Hanoi to Struggling to Change Money and Almost Losing my Passport in Luang Prabang

I'm writing this on my iPad's note app. We're currently here in Luang Prabang and it's 11:14 PM local time as I write this. (If you're reading this, I am probably already home) Well.. This is our second day touring. We're supposed to tour Hanoi, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, and Bangkok.
We left Hanoi this afternoon and well... This day was all sorts of misadventure. Our first day in Hanoi was fun. Really fun. We saw Hoan Kiem Lake, watched Water Puppet Show (my second time to watch, the first one was when we visited Ho Chi Minh city last 2015), watched the locals, and eat Vietnamese food.

11:58AM local time of Hanoi, plane going back to Manila.
This trip was superb! In a sense that I experienced a lot of mishaps but at the same time had a lot of fun. I got to learn a lot. Like, really a L O T. And as much as it bores me to death going to museums and different history specific establishments, it pays to know where the nation has come from as it says a lot about where the country is today. I personally believe Vietnam is a great country and with great food too! (no brainer) And I don't mind eating lots of Pho for the rest my life if it means getting also to eat other Vietnamese food and a good Ca Phe Sua Da (Vietnamese coffee: black roasted coffee with condensed milk)
