Madrid being the capital and biggest city of Spain with around 3.5 Million inhabitants you might feel overwhelmed at first by the amount of things to see and do on a short week-end trip. You sure won’t be able to visit all of the museums, galleries, palaces, parks, architectural sights, Churches, Cathedrals, etc. it has [...]...

Cebu city also nicknamed ‘Queen of the South’ is the second largest city of the Philippines.
It has few attractions compared to its big sister Manila and most of them have to do with Ferdinand Magellan’s landing here and consequently the birth of Catholicism in the Philippines, the Santo Nino Cathedral, the Carbon market (the biggest [...]...

| Boracay island |
| 2007-11-08 16:04:19 |
Situated around 350 km down south from Manila in the Visayas, Boracay is a fabulous beach destination to discover. Sized only at 7 km long by 2 wide it’s a relatively small tropical island that has lots to offer. Just to see it’s 4km long famous white beach is well worth the trip it but [...]...

Before even starting I know whats already on your mind… What the hell is Balut most of you would ask? In fact it’s simply a fertilized duck egg with an almost fully matured embryo inside that’s served boiled alive and eaten in its shell. They are considered delicacies in South East Asia and particularly the [...]...
