glamorous ... i have seen a small piece of Philippines 2 years ago ,and i am still fascinated every time when i heard something about this indescribable country.I will may be not have another opportunity to visit it again ,but in my dreams i will hope to do it.Landscapes in Philippines have somethings strange and spectacular in the same time.
Thank you,i enjoyed to read your trip impressions and see the photos !

What are those little cakes? I'm trying to remember what those little cakes are in the center of the griddle... we used to eat them on the street in Bikaner with a spicy sauce and topped with chopped onions, chilis and cilantro. I think they were filled with beans or chick peas. Do you remember what they're called?
Cheers,

Adventure Appreciation Great pictures and equally interesting stories. Thank you for the knowledge and your efforts to show us the world. Glad you could share your time with Emily. Bayly and I miss Taiwan and all its comforts. I really enjoy your posts and every-time I read them I'm inspired! Safe travels!
Great Well-written. I'm an Iranian and it was pretty much accurate. But to tell you the truth I laughed my ass off the way you put that wedding, yeah you are right if the wedding is traditional, but not all weddings are traditonal and even if they are there is mostly a reception after the sex segragated party that actually includes some real dancing.
drinking places well, it's been 2 years since I was there! Shenzhen is huge, where do you live? You want clubs, or relaxed places? Many people like Hai Shan Shi Jie in Shekou

I've been travel blogging for over a decade (my first TravelBlog post was in 2008!) Since then, I've lived in Taiwan for over 10 years, wrote a book about it, and I manage two successful websites about traveling in Taiwan. I'm living back home in Canada with my wife and kids now, but we still spend part of every year in Taiwan.... full info

The pictures are so superbly colourful! Leanne looks sparkly and I like the green hawk girl's picture and the rainbow the best. Have fun!
