You have to be very careful walking around in the Philippines. \u00a0The infrastructure is not up to par. \u00a0Uneven sidewalks, metal rebars sticking up, potholes, and not a safe place to walk. \u00a0Check out the electrical wires? \u00a0OMG! \"\"<\/p>\n

How do you know which wire is for what and who? \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

The best way to get around is by bike.\"\"<\/p>\n

Or by ride sharing. \u00a0I use the Grab app and it’s just like Uber. \u00a0Really cheap and reliable. \"\"<\/p>\n

I just walked and walked around for the first couple days. \u00a0I wanted to experience the local lifestyle. \u00a0It’s very interesting to see how hard people work there. \"\"<\/p>\n

My domestic flights were delayed and they changed the gate last minute. \u00a0I almost missed a flight because of that. \u00a0Thank goodness it was delayed. \u00a0Haha. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

If you book early, a flight from Manila to Cebu will cost you $22. \u00a0If you book last minute like me, it will cost you $122. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I was craving to eat Balulo which is a local filipino dish. \u00a0It’s a beef shank soup with bone marrow. \u00a0I asked some locals where a good place to eat it and these 2 little girls told me to follow them. \u00a0They took me down side alleys and there stood a local bulalo stand. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I ordered the big portion that is good for 3-4 people. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

It was so delicious. \u00a0Very tender beef shank that fell off the bone. \u00a0Refreshing soup base with a touch of calamansi (Philippine lime). \u00a0This was the best I’ve ever eaten. \u00a0I would fly to the Philippines just to eat this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
