Travel and Travails

Belinda Cayapan: Mutianyu Wall stretches 2.5 kms w/ 22 watchtowers spaced between each end. Not part of the usual tourist route that includes the Badaling section so it's not as crowded.

Belinda Cayapan: Terminal moved to old Rustan's site fronting Shopwise. Dangerous area IMO. Waiting passengers should be alert and watch out for muggers, snatchers, and pickpockets.

Belinda Cayapan: Woohoo! Free WiFi in all buses that are mostly new or refurbished. LCD TV in some buses also a nice touch while the new JAC Radio plays pre-programmed contemporary music.

Belinda Cayapan: JAC Liner buses are mostly new, WiFi enabled, and above all, fast! Seatbelts please?

Belinda Cayapan: Powdery white sand. Amazing!

Belinda Cayapan: Sampaloc Lake is the largest and most beautiful of the seven lakes of San Pablo, Laguna. San Pablo is also known as the City of the Seven Lakes. Sampaloc Lake is an inactive volcanic maar.

Belinda Cayapan: Taal Volcano is the world's smallest active volcano. A complex volcano system, it consists of Volcano Island inside Taal Lake within the Taal Caldera. Tagaytay Ridge is actually the rim of the crater.

Belinda Cayapan: A piece of paradise in this corner of the globe. Would love to come back again and again and again...

Belinda Cayapan: A place for prayer and communing with nature, Caleruega Church has become a popular destination for retreat and wedding ceremonies. For wedding parties, top reception venue is Sonya's Garden.

Belinda Cayapan: Come here for Sunday lunch. They serve fresh, organically grown salad greens, pasta, tea, and dessert. This Tagaytay spot is also a popular venue for out-of-town dates, parties, and wedding reception.

Belinda Cayapan: Love the magnificent Gothic architecture, wonderful stained glass windows, and grandiose building! Myeongdong Cathedral is a prominent Roman Catholic church in Korea that uses Latin liturgical rites.

Belinda Cayapan: Amazing! Hands down the best airport worldwide from 2005-2012! Check out the airport's golf course, casino, ice skating rink, indoor gardens, spa, private sleeping rooms, and Museum of Korean Culture.

Belinda Cayapan: Gothic architecture, awesome interior, magnificent stained glass windows! A candidate for World Heritage Site, it is the only all-steel church in Asia and the only prefab steel church in the world.

Belinda Cayapan: Get the Premier Rooms at the East Wing and wake up to a magnificent, breathtaking view of Taal Volcano from your balcony!

Belinda Cayapan: Pile on the sunscreen and tour the grounds at noon time when the big groups are having lunch and staying out of the sun. You'll have Angkor Wat to yourself then & take lots of good photos like us! :)

Belinda Cayapan: A one-stop place where you can check out Lapu-Lapu's Statue and Magellan's Monument, eat fresh seafood at the Sutukil Restaurants, and buy curios like Frog-Leather Purses from the souvenir shops! :D

Belinda Cayapan: Check out Taal Volcano in Katy Perry's Roar music video at 2:28 and 2:39 seconds! #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines
