Beaching in Ancol Indonesia

Going to the beach while in Jakarta might not be a popular thing to do as one would think that in a busy city, you could not expect to see a beach.

Fortunately, Ancol has one for you. If you want to spend a day getting yourself tanned and enjoying the view of the ocean, beaching in Ancol, Indonesia must be the perfect thing to do.

Getting There

Minivan

Green minivans can be seen parked near Kota Tua Train Station. These minivans can take you to Ancol.

Taxi

For faster transport, taxis are also available. You can board taxis near Kota Tua or from the taxi stands in malls and famous landmarks.

Arriving Saigon, Vietnam

2015-02-13T11:32:00.004-08:00

Arriving Saigon, Vietnam

Saigon was the more popular name of this city in Vietnam, which is the largest city here. As for us Filipinos, Saigon is familiar because the Filipina actress and singer Lea Salonga played the role of Kim in the Musical Miss Saigon.

Above: The Maritime Bank Tower in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam where Manulife is headquartered here.

In my arrival, I got a small strawberry from Agnes so I could have a good impression of the sweet and delicious food here in Vietnam. I never thought they also grow strawberries here.

A view of District 1 at night

In the sideline, here is the story of Miss Saigon so everyone can relate to this beautiful story while you are in Vietnam and try to imagine what happened in that love story that took place during the Vietnam War. Let me quote that from this website:

http://www.stgt.com/stuttgart/saiglibe.htm

"Miss Saigon" - The Love Story of Kim and Chris

The Musical is situated within Saigon during the last weeks of the Vietnam war, in April 1975. In a nightclub the young GI Chris meets the 17 year old girl Kim. They fall in love with each other, but their luck is only to last a short time. Chris had to leave the city in a hurry, in a Helicopter, leaving Kim behind. Kim remained in Saigon without any message from him.

Three years pass by. In the United States Chris marries an American girl called Ellen, and builds his life anew, but he cannot forget Kim. Kim and the child she bore, live under the Dictator Ho Chi Minh's poor rule. All the time she still believes on the return of her Chris, who knows nothing of his son, and refuses the affection of Officer Thuy, to whom she was promsied as his wife, since her childhood.

As Thuy, in a rage, tried to kill Kim's small son Tam, she shot him. She fleed to her brother in Bangkok. A short time later Chris heard from a friend, that he had a child by Kim, and decided to find them. Together with his wife, they flew to Thailand to see his child. Overjoyed, Kim discovers of arrival of Chris and goes immediately to his hotel to meet him. There she doesn't meet Chris, but his wife Ellen, and discovers the truth about his new life in America.

Beautiful story. Anyway, I was from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and took a flight to Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). When I told my parents about Vietnam as one of my itineraries, they were quite surprised why I'd go to this place. Well, considering that the Vietnam War just lasted in 1975, I believe this country might seem to be a bit of a scare if you really do not know anything about the place.

I searched the city before my arrival to Ho Chi Minh and try to check what it's like to be here. When I have read some cool stuff about the place and its people, I did not have any fear anymore of exploring the streets of this country filled with sweet people.

On the Plane

As a foreigner to a new country, it is important to be taking some time to know more about the places so you don't get lost easily. You will, of course, get lost sometimes. I was seated next to this Vietnamese girl who was on vacation from Bali, Indonesia. To my surprise, they do not speak English that much. Not really.

I was asking about the location of my hotel and it took us a lot of time conversing and the use of sign language was a necessity at that moment. One girl also borrowed my power bank and I did let her use it.

The flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam was about 55 minutes total but I was making sign languages the whole time.

On same plane with #Singapore National Basketball team, they're playing in #HoChiMinh city. Got the chance to talk to their coach & he said #Gilas #Pilipinas is not in this season, maybe in prep for #fiba #world. #sports #basketball

Below are some of the aerial photos I took while on the plane. We see the roof and decks of buildings in Vietnam.

This is a huge river for sure. There are plenty of bodies of water you see from up in the air while the plane tries to descend.

A huge Manulife billboard greeted me upon arrival at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

This is a famous landmark in Saigon.

In one of Ho Chi Minh city's rotunda.. So many motobikes here in #Saigon, maybe the motorbike capital of #Asia .. #transportation #ride #movingaround #mobile

Public Transport

Upon my arrival at the airport, I tried to ask for a local simcard and learning that it is a bit pricey and I would not be using it anyway, I opted not to get one. I was happy to learn that they have a public transport taking tourists to the city proper.

Going around the city, you can hire a 'motordup'. It is just a motorcycle but they call it like that. Simply, it is a habal-habal back in the Philippines. That's me riding the motordup with a helmet.

Motorcycles

On the bus, I was in awe seeing a lot of motorcycles on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. It was like seeing a huge school of fish. I was checking my phone's GPS to see if I am already near my hotel. There was this European couple who were as well searching for their place to stay. We alight at some point in District 1 and began walking the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and tried to evade the many bikes along the way. It was a fun experience. Cool!

Finally, we reached Pham Ngu Lao St, sounds like Panglao in Bohol, so I'd remember that easily. I would be on the next street though, which is Bui Vien Street. It is just like a small street with a lot of bars and hotels lined up. So this is Vietnam!

Bui Vien Street at night

For vacationing tourists in Vietnam, the fun & laughter begin when the sun is out. Lights and beers fill this very lively and enthusiastic corner of this city. Ho Chi Minh is like one of the most enjoyable places for tourists who just want to have fun. Music is also in the air as most restaurants hire bands at night to entertain guests. I even met a Filipino band who have been working in Vietnam for a long time. Filipinos are quite everywhere so you will never feel lonely in your trips.

This is Bui Vien Street in Ho Chi Minh City at night.

You would probably see this band when you visit Bui Vien Street next time. They are good. Enjoyed the music they played.

I took a photo of this bar considering the uniqueness of the design here. That looks vintage!

Food

It would be easy to fulfill the needs of your stomach as there are plenty of restaurants you can find in Ho Chi Minh City. There is also McDonalds in the intersection of Pham Ngu Lao near the plaza if you feel like eating burger and french fries.

I was enjoying sushi every now and then as it is affordable here in Vietnam. As a country facing the South China Sea, seafood is pretty much of your liking here as the price is something that you can very well afford.

There was a week long festival when I arrived here September 11, 2014 (Anniversary of the World Trade Center bombing in the United States, oh dates). At night, there are also activities in the plaza especially food fair. There, you find most of Vietnam's favorite food at very friendly prices. For the food lovers and those who like to stay in the dining table during their free hours, for sure, this is the best time to go out and eat.

The plaza in Ho Chi Minh City was well lighted as the Vietnamese are observing a week long festival. So taking a photo here would be worth remembering since it is a festival.

While roaming around the food fair, I found this sugarcane juice, tubo here in Vietnam.

You can try some seafood from this restaurant at 226 Nguyen Cong Tru, P. Nguyen Thai Binh, Ho Chi Minh City. I memorized that for my next visit, haha. If you try to look around, you will discover a lot of choices. Most cafes here, they serve iced coffee. Vietnamese people are loving that for sure, and I was not so fond about iced coffee until I arrived in Vietnam.

In one of the streets, I also tried something like a leche flan with ice and sago. You better find that place when you get the chance to visit Ho Chi Minh City. (See photo below)

Trekking Tagbuane

Trekking Tagbuane

Going for an outdoor activity is fun. It is the reason why the group decided to try trekking the grassy terrain and hilly areas of Tagbuane in Alburquerque, Bohol.

Check out some photos of this adventurous journey.

The challenge is climbing up and down the hill as small stones are on your way and might offer you a tougher climb.

It would be refreshing to bath in the cold waters of this stream after a very vigorous activity.

Capturing Cebu from the boat

While the boat is lowering its speed as it approaches the port of Cebu, you can enjoy taking photos and capturing the towering buildings of the Queen City.

The building above shows the latest construction update of the SM Seaside City which will be one of the Philippine's biggest malls (if not the biggest).

The Citta di Mare Condominium of Filinvest is also near SM Seaside City.

The Cube, which is the amazingly designed structure in front of SM Seaside City is already open to the public.

The rightmost tower is the Crown Regency Hotel while the one on the leftmost side is the One Pavilion Condominium in Banawa, Cebu City.

Banana Boat in Alona, Panglao Island, Bohol

Banana Boat in Alona, Panglao Island, Bohol

For vacationing tourists who want to try some adventurous activities at sea while in the beautiful island of Panglao in Bohol, you can try riding the banana boat and explore the views as you get yourself a challenging ride. Just wait for the moment as the driver throws everyone aboard in the deep waters of Panglao.

Enjoy!

The Alona in Panglao Island, Bohol

2014-11-18T04:50:00.002-08:00

The Alona in Panglao Island, Bohol

Most tourists refer to it as Alona maybe because the first hotels in the area have Alona in their names, like Alona Kew and Alona Tropical.

Alona is like a small "Boracay" in Bohol. Boracay Island is another famous beach destination in Aklan Province.

Alona is a strip of beachfront resorts with lively bars and restaurant offering different kinds of refreshments, meals, and night entertainments to visiting tourists. Hotels and guest houses are just next to each other.

For people who just want to go to Bohol and enjoy the whole stay in the beach, Alona would be a perfect choice.

To those searching for some Asian food, just wait a little bit for this restaurant to finally operate here at Alona in Panglao Island, Bohol. As of now, they are still finishing construction of the building to hold this exciting restaurant.

Most of the roads in Panglao are already concreted. Alona area just got finished cementing all its access roads offering a lot of convenience to visitors. It feels like a small beach city to me. Everything you need in daily living is all here. If price is not an issue to you, then you can definitely live in Alona as much as you want.

We are glad to find a stall with Boholano favorite 'painit' or snack, putomaya and sikwate. It is best to eat at 3'oclock in between your heavy meals or just anytime when you feel like eating them.

Right upon entering the beach strip, this is going to be the picture greeting you.

Alona Kew White Beach has a direct access to the beach and it is just right at the entrance to Alona. More resorts are still available when you stroll along the Alona strip.

For tourists, a money changer is one of the must visit places. You are lucky because Alona has one. Bank of the Philippine Islands' (BPI) atm's are also available.

Danao, Panglao, Bohol

One of the best places you could get in Panglao Island in Bohol is the white sandy beach. Plenty of resorts are now operating in the island and more investors are still looking for a good place to put their investments in.

Panglao Island in Bohol is certainly one of the destinations you should put on your bucket list when visiting the Philippines for leisure and relaxation.

Some of the best resorts in the island include the Eskaya, Alona Tropical, Alona Kew, South Palms, Panglao Island Nature Resort, and many more.

Tourists can also enjoy diving in Balicasag Island, snorkeling and other water activities offered in the resorts.

Transportation

Hotel transports are available depending on the package purchased from travel agencies. The most convenient would be taking the taxi or riding a motorcycle which can be hired upon arrival at the Port of Tagbilaran City in mainland Bohol. Travel time would take more or less 30 minutes depending on the location of the booked resort or hotel.

Hired motorcycles are also available for tourists both local and foreign if you want to travel the whole island yourself and even the mainland to see the rest of the beautiful spots that Bohol has in store for you.

Going to Changi Airport, Singapore

Singapore. Transportation in Singapore has always been efficient. It is easy to go to different places as trains connect tourists and locals to different points in the lion city fast and easy.

Tourists can purchase a card where he can as well top-up once the balance is not anymore sufficient. If you are visiting for few days only, you may opt to have a temporary card to be purchased at the designated ticket machines in every station. Queuing for the train at the mrt stations is orderly and convenient. Additionally, trains arrive on time and you will see on the board the time left for the next train to arrive at the station. Make sure to know the do's and dont's at the mrt stations as cameras are everywhere. One thing for sure, chewing gum is not allowed and can be meted a huge fine. It is better to be safe.

If you are trying to catch a flight, make sure you are in the airport at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure so you will have ample time to prepare for your flight. Once you alight from the Changi Station, there is also a sky train that you can take if you want to go to other airport terminals, say Terminals 1,2, or 3 and vice-versa and you do not have to pay for the sky train. There are 3 terminals that I know, and it is pretty easy to go to any of these terminals. Check you airline's terminal.

Below is the map of the mrt lines of Singapore.

SUMMER PARADISE

Simple Plan feat. Taka from ONE OK ROCK

O la da da dada
Yeah me and you in summer paradise

My heart is sinking as I’m lifted
Up above the clouds away from you
And I can’t believe I’m leaving
Oh I don’t know no no what I’m gonna do

But, someday
I will find my way back to
To where your name is written in the sand

Coz I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every words you said
We would never gonna say good bye (good bye)
Singing la da da da
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat
I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there
I’ll be there in a heartbeat
And I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there

My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can’t stop this feelings melting through
And I’d give away a thousand days
Oh, just to have another one with you (with you)

Where real life can wait
We’re crashing like waves
Playing in the sand (playing in the sand)
Holding your hands

Coz I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every words you said
We would never gonna say good bye (good bye)
Singing la da da da
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat
I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there
I’ll be there in a heartbeat
And I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there

My memories are reminding me
The perfect night on the perfect beach
Ano hi no ki o kuwo kaki atsumeta tokode
Modorisenai
The season not the reason why
I fell in love with you in paradise
Kimi ga boku wo omoidasu tabi ni
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat

Someday
I will find my way back to
To where your name is written in the sand

Coz I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every words you said
We would never gonna say good bye (good bye)
Singing la da da dada
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat

I remember when we first kissed
How I didn’t wanna leave your lips
And how I’ve never ever felt so high
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat
I’ll be there I’ll be there
I’ll be there in a heartbeat

Walking on the sea floor made possible in Mactan Island

2014-08-20T12:10:00.000-07:00

Walking on the sea floor made possible in Mactan Island

Mactan Island, Philippines. Mactan Island is part of Cebu Province where the Cebu International Airport is also located. Beautiful resorts like Shangri-La and Movenpick (previously Hilton Resort) are found here.

One of the exciting activities to do while in the island of Mactan is seawalking. Walking on the sea floor is made possible in Mactan Island which allows you to be close to different kinds of fishes. Finding Nemo and Dory is quite fun in here. Let us just remember that "Fish are friends, not food" - Finding Nemo.

Seawalking in Mactan Island was quite a good experience if you do not want to try the more adventurous one which is diving (as Cebu is best known for diving, too).

I was here with my Japanese cousins, Yuta and Daikichi, with Loloy. Thanks to Ate Evic, we became seawalkers for a moment. Airwalking will be next, maybe. Yay!

It looks simple yet a little difficult when you are already underwater. No worries though as there is a little training before diving. Even a little change in elevation will give some minor disturbances in the ears as pressure will change if elevation changes.

Above. You will be bringing some food for your fish friends. Some of them would actually think you are food. Hehe. At times, one of them would aim its mouth at your skin. There is no piranha here or else you will be all bones. :)

A bamboo handrail is also installed on the seafloor to guide you while seawalking.

Do you think it's fun to live like you are Nemo for a moment?

A relaxing experience at Eskaya Resort in Panglao Island

A relaxing experience at Eskaya Resort in Panglao Island

Eskaya Resort, Panglao Island, Philippines. Before a travel magazine could post their feature on this globally known resort located in Panglao Island, Bohol, let me have some spoiler photos of Eskaya Resort in Panglao. A very relaxing view, indeed. You get to experience all the privacy you need with the private villas in this resort.

However, the price of Php 30,000 per night would surely hurt your pocket. That is the cheapest room they have and that is during the lean months. When peak season strikes, these rates are expected to go up.

I got the chance to visit this resort for a Manulife appointment #growthfund #bondfund #investments.

Mustafa Centre Singapore

2014-08-18T18:43:00.002-07:00

Mustafa Centre Singapore

Little India, Singapore. Great deals can be found here at the Mustafa Centre in Singapore.

If you want to shop for some affordable goods, gadgets, or clothing in Singapore, Mustafa Centre is the place to go. It opens 24 hours and when I went here, there were also several Filipino sales ladies and attendants.

It was funny when I called one of the sales ladies 'Auntie' (as Singaporeans call older ladies Auntie, i think so) yet she replied I'm not your Auntie, don't call me Auntie. I just smiled at her, I think she was a Filipina.

There is also a money changer here. Since the place is in Little India, you will find yourself surrounded with several Indians here. If Indian cuisine is something that you crave for, try roaming around the area and surely you will find one.

Getting There

There is an MRT Station linked to a mall called City Mall. Mustafa Centre is just walking distance. Farrer Park MRT Station seems to be the nearest station.

You can also take a bus along Jalan Besar Road. Mustafa Centre should be somewhere near Jalan Besar.

If you are taking the bus along Jalan Besar in the Little India area, where you can also find several affordable guest houses, you can stop near Kitchener Road intersection. There is a bus stop in that area.

For a helpful and handy map, you can check out gothere.sg.

Singapore's Visitor Centre

Singapore's Visitor Centre

Orchard Road, Singapore. One of the unique building designs though simple is Singapore's Visitor Center which is located along Orchard Road in Singapore. The huge letters are not just uncommon but at the same time attractive.

Orchard Road is one of the most famous streets in the Lion City and shopaholics just love this area as popular global brands line up the street with their respective boutique and shops.

In the Philippines, the concept behind Orchard Road is also one of the future inspirations on the street adjacent to the Solinea Condominium located within the Cebu Business Park in Cebu City where the upscale Ayala Center Cebu is also situated.

Solinea Condominium is a prime development of AyalaLand, Inc. in the Philippines, one of the country's leading real estate developers.

Chinatown in Singapore, free pikapika!!

2014-08-18T14:03:00.000-07:00

Chinatown in Singapore, free pikapika!!

Chinatown, Singapore. The best time to go here is during the celebration of the Chinese New Year sometime in February. You get to taste different kinds of pika pika food.

It feels good to get lost in this area, I was just like roaming around the Chinatown in Binondo, Manila, Philippines as well.
