Palarong Pambansa Ballroom Dancing

We went to Tarlac for a government business deal. While we were waiting for the government official who never showed up because of his busy schedule, we entertained ourselves by watching a preview to the ballroom dancing competition of the 2010 Palarong Pambansa held in Tarlac. I’ve never seen little kids dance so well. These [...]

Boracay Tip for This Summer

This summer I’m sure you will be making your yearly trip to the never dying white sand of Boracay (or as some annoyingly refer to as Bora). Despite the growing commercialism and erosion, Boracay is still the best beach in the world and is the place to be seen. So let me just give one [...]

The Final Installment of On-Foot Korea

In this final installment of On-Foot Korea, I visit one of my favorite places in Seoul – Insadong. How do I describe this place? It’s kinda Bohemian with lots of restaurants, coffee and tea shops, art stores, trinket stores, street food, etc. I was able to check out Ssamziegil, a small building of shops with [...]

We also tried this drink that’s kinda like beer. I didn’t really like it much, maybe because the waitress had [...]

On the Seoul of Your Foot Part 3 (On-Foot Goes Web)

The third installment of On-Foot in Seoul. In this episode, I go to the 2 famous palaces in Seoul. They are conveniently located an MTR stop away from each other.

On the Seoul of Your Foot Part 2 (On-Foot Goes Web)

Every city has a famous tower that serves as its symbol. Seattle has the Space Needle, Paris has the Eiffel Tower, Manila has the Smokey Mountain which has been moved somewhere else ( I don’t know where). It’s a touristy thing to do but you still have to do it just so that you can [...]
