hello! a Filipino here. I got here in your blog by searching about hiking in Seoul.

i’m glad that you found our country interesting. i love it when foreigners see our country in a positive light and enjoy their stay here.

a little bit of tidbit, Magellan was the first to come here in the Philippines in the 1500s. He’s a Portuguese but sailed under the Spanish flag. We were colonized by the Spanish for 300 years, Americans for 30 years and the Japanese for 3 years, thus the variety of culture.

You should! It’s totally different from the rest of Southeast Asia and really beautiful. Actually, they were a Spanish colony for a couple (few?) hundred years.

Lucky for him to have had so much time there! 2 weeks just wasn’t enough. I didn’t try the blueberry cakes, unfortunately. They sound interesting!

It’s weird how isolated places can be if they’re just slightly separated from the mainland. A million people have been to Thailand but it’s comparatively rare to see posts like this, about countries that are right by there but less visited. Nice to see it covered, and nice to have good tips on practical issues like SIM cards.
