The people!

I traveled everywhere in South East Asia. People in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia are really nice and extremely friendly.

A South America feeling in Asia

Forget about temples and Buddhism! Forget about tuk-tuks! The Philippines is fully packed with churches, people are Roman Catholic and the local form of transport is a Jeepney.

The Philippines is a former Spanish colony, just like a big part of South America.

This gives the Philippines a unique feeling nowhere to be found elsewhere in Asia! If you are “temple” tired, the Philippines is the perfect place to catch a fresh breath of air! 

The Tarsier

If you visit the Philippines you can encounter one of the smallest primates in the world.

This little animal is called a Tarsier and it is one of the cutest animals I’ve ever seen in my life.

On the island of Bohol you will find a Tarsier sanctuary where you can come face to face with this amazing little creature. It takes a lot of effort not to melt when you look into its eyes. 

The beaches

Coming from Thailand and Malaysia I thought beaches couldn’t get any whiter.

Well, I was so wrong. The Philippines has some of the best beaches I’ve ever seen. T

he water is so blue and makes a beautiful contrast with the white beaches. If you’re looking for postcard perfect places, just visit the Philippines.

Cheap Liquor

Besides being blessed with an astonishing natural beauty, the Philippines also have very cheap liquor.

A bottle of the local beer San Miguel won’t cost you more then 50 cents and a bottle of local rum will cost you around 1.5 dollar.
