    Getting TO/AROUND: Getting around the Philippines is both easy and hard.
    On the brighter note, flight and boat connections between the various islands are usually more frequent than in the neighbouring island nation of Indonesia or in the South Pacific.
    On the other hand, the roads here are among the worst in South-East Asia! Overland journeys can be surprisingly long and uncomfortable even by bus. On smaller roads, you may well have to use the Philippines trademark jeepneys. These tend to leave only when (truly) full - take it as a not-to-be-missed part of the colorful Philippine experience! ;-)

     Hello hunwagner! Such interest in my country, even if you weren't too impressed. But you're right about our people being more chummy than most Asians. If you decide to revisit, my friends and I will take you around. God bless!

     I'm a Filipino but I haven't been to most of the places you've been to much less build pages like you do. Mabuhay ka!
