Still Travelling Around


Philippines is a land of many contrasts as this Photo of the famous Rice Terraces will show you compared to the BIG City Manila.
Rich and Poor,people are to be found all over the land,mostly the people who you come into contact with are helpful,and willing to practice thier English speaking ability on you.

Still Travelling Around


Philippines is not just beaches and small towns,Manila has many huge shopping centres,malls and entertainment places for people of all ages. All of the worlds large corporations are to be found in and around Manila.

Another Small Boat

Another example of a Boat,Philipinos really are water people and many make their living from the sea as well as their leisure time.

Another Banca..Just a Bigger one.

This pic is another style of Banca..Bigger..and safer.. used more as a Work Horse around the provinces,transporting people and goods and animals.Also used for fishing,larger type fish,including game fish.

Still Travelling..in Philippines.

This boat is called a Banca in most regions of the Philippine Islands.
It has many uses and is used daily by the people lucky enough to be able to afford to buy one and pay for fuel.
The Banca is mainly used for fishing and transport between island groups.
Its hard to believe that a small boat like this might be 100 Klm off shore fishing,then if bad weather comes the fisherman must get back to shore as quickly as possible.
This type of fishing can be extremly dangerous,but the Philipino fisherman have been taught by their forfathers and are very good at handling these small boats in rough seas.
At tourist resorts the owners are more than happy to take visitors around for a fee,as many areas close to land have been fished out and now many fishermen rely on the tourist dollar for a living,a sad but true fact.

Still travelling Around ,,I Hope?

Now..I just saw this FROG,minus its head,which looks like its been prepared and cooked to perfection by A Philipino Chef.
I just thought you maybe interested in this culinary delight,Im sure who ever ate the poor thing would have been delighted with the taste.
Philipino people love to eat what we call STRANGE things,they love the EYE BALLS of fish,when a fish is put on the table to eat....First come..First served for the EYES.
