YOU |
Another good reason to stay away from the big cities is smog mainley from all the diesel driven vehicles.
When travelling on the express ways it can be fast and be aware of the buses that come up on you from behind doing(140-150kmh)
well over the speed limit of 80 kph.The shoulders of the road is used for going even faster.The road can be smooth, then
brakes are applied quite suddenly to prevent damage to the vehicle or Damage to your head hitting on the roof. This
is because the damaged sections of road are not signed . Oh and dont forget to keep change on you for the toll .
All said and done you will always get to where you are going and very much enjoying the whole experience
of the trip.Travelling around the Philippines is an Adventure weather you travel by plane,boat,bus,jeepney,car
, motor bike,bike or on foot.

Accommodation is cheap and its best to rent a small house or appartment if you intend to stay a while or
for good.(Get ready for this). A small unfurnished 1-2 bedroom house (apartment) in the area where i live about 1 hour
(depending on traffic) from Manila is just 2700 peso (less than 80 dollars) per month if you stay for
a year or more.Or about 100 /week temp.furnished.If you intend to come for Rest and Relaxation try a Beach Resort,they
are well priced,great views and highly recommended,just ask me.
Just 20mins for the above accom. |

and yes that is FOG not smog you can see.The air is fresh and very clean |
The weather up in this area is very nice all year around if you like the cooler weather but not cold.This is a very popular
area for Westerners from Europe,The US, Australia and other parts of Asia. Also because of its location its protected from
the elements like typhoons, land slides etc

from left to right....Lanznes,Rambutans,mangoes and banana |
The Philippines should be called the land of fruit and veg.You name it, they have it and more.So
if you love your fruit and veg this is the place to come. If you were to have a different fruit every day, after a year you
still would not have tried them all and each of them having many of its own varieties in colour and taste.How would
you like to try a banana the size of your arm or cut up a string bean 3 feet long
