First impressions upon arrival to Japan was overwhelming. How clean, orderly and organized. So quiet! And so easy to do everything. And cold again – Tytus loves it. The standard of hostels is light years ahead of those we stayed in so far. More people speak english than I expected and prices and not as […]
The atmosphere of the place and people we met in Santa Juliana made us not want to leave. So far the only bad thing in the Philippines is food. Same as Indonesia – chicken, rice, chicken, rice. For breakfast traditionally pork. Or chicken. With rice. Or noodles. And so many fastfoods. Local incarnation of McDonalds […]
First of April (and it is not the Fools Day) it’s been six months since we left home. When we were planning our journey, I was wondering what we will be doing in Asia for so long? It passed in the blink of an eye and at the same time it feels like a few […]
*Warning! This post contains disturbing and drastic photos. Watch on your own responsibility! We forgot this is Easter time and we may have problems finding accommodation. In fact it is even worse than Coron. Simple there is nothing available, nothing, zero. I checked all resorts,hotels, hostels, guesthouses and everything is booked. Every single room. […]
First time in this trip we have problems finding accommodation. Everything is either booked, looks like a dirty den or is way above our budget. The town of Coron is very crowded and very loud. The main street is an endless line of tricycles, mopeds and tourists on the sidewalk. I can hear Polish language […]
There are over 7000 islands on The Philippines archipelago. It is difficult to decide where to go. We start with Bohol. A small town of Jagna like every other one on the island is basically a main street, a town hall, big church, a football field under a roof and a marketplace. All these towns […]
It took us quite a lot of time to determine what should we do between Chiang Mai and Bangkok from where we fly to the Philippines. It looks like we had enough of Thailand so far so we changed plans again and cut them short. We decided to visit old capitals of Thailand – Sukhothai […]
All the time we keep on reminding ourselves that we need to slow down and the next place will be the one to stay longer, do nothing and rest. And then we do it again – after few days in Chiang Mai we rented a car to climb a long winding road to one mountain, […]
There is a place in Chiang Mai, where you can make paper from elephants’ poo, no artificial flavors added. A great lesson on ecology – we go though every station where we learn why elephant poo is a great material for paper production: how to clean it with no chemicals, make paper goo, dye it […]
Here you have a few memories from Malaysian Borneo. These places come back on a regular basis in our memories and rank high in the top places of this trip – Kinabatangan River and Kinabalu Park in Sabah province and Bako National Park near Kuching.
