Paradise

I've been always dreaming about the vacation in this way: white sand beach, clear water, blue sky, beautiful sun shine, palm trees, natural clean air, friendly people, cute guys, and quiet peaceful atmosphere.

Then on year 2005's Chinese new year I finally made it come true!

It was an small island in Philippines named Boracay. To get there you have to take domestic flight to the big islands nearby, then take a boat to the west coast of the island and debark at station 1 (north), 2 (middle), or 3 (south). This way it takes around 2 hrs travelling from Manila.

Our trip started with being trapped on the airplane in CKS airport for 3 hours. The airport was once closed due to heavy fog since 4 days ago, and in 3 hrs our flight couldn't move but queuing for taking off on only one runway. In consequence we missed out our connecting domestic flight to Cateclan island. In consequence we had to stay in Manila for one night which was completely out of our plan. Fortunately the travel agency sent nicehearted messenger James and his daughter Hannah to pick us up, and due to their hospitality and kind assistance we were able to find a cheap yet cozy hotel in Makati city (where I've only been once) and had a little advanture in that area.

(Commercial: If anyone wants to travel in Manila James will be very happy to be your tour guide!)
