Cebu, The Philippines; Magellan's Cross

The "Cross"; a dancing lady, and peddlers galore. If you give anyone money, even with good intentions (a poor girl with no shoes), you open up the floodgates. I should have known better but no regrets. I tried to give money discreetly if the person looks like they can use it but nothing is missed by the onlookers. No regrets. Enjoy

He's just a tour guide which is funny; Cause I work in Taiwan and hear Mandarin everyday. So it was a little humorious once the ladies moved over a bit. Cebu is inundated with Korean tourists now; Cambodia as well.

Yea, Bohol is next, I've already bought the postcards! Looks beautiful. I am sad but not surprised about Alfredo; the funny thing is I'm prepared to do something about it, and am in a position to do so. I know the owner of the bed and breakfast across the street whose family owned the New Vacation hotel. He's pretty important around there. I think a phone call might be in order. Just got back from another run to Cebu last weekend, check out the Fort San Pedro Video if you can.. Peace

Hello. Have you been To Bohol? It's my fav. place in the Philippines. I have also been to Mindanao 2 times. To be honest, I would avoid it! Not good if your white. I have been to most cities in the Philippines and Bohol gets my vote every time. Plus, it's totally crime free and there are no Alfredo's trying to dip your pockets at every oppertunity. Panglao beach is simply the best. I will go there many times again.

Lots of cool stuff to see there, hehehe. I was there for SInulog 2006 and toured 2 weeks. 2007 I went back and toured 3 weeks. I am returning again 2008 June-July to bring asawa ko back here with me. I love that place, the Phils. I want to live there also one day. Mindanao, Bohol, Cebu, Borakay, Luzon, Aklan, Mactan islands so far many more to go. I should post my stuff but lazy. Ingat palagi.
