Philippine Travel Notes

Hey folksie-folks, I was back at this Korean Restaurant called Han Gang in Pusok, Lapulapu. Not that I crave for anything in this place, but, by virtue of proximity, this has been (and still is) is my go-to (best choice) in Pusok area! I went there tonight! This time I had beef soup and a cup of rice. Like their other authentic Korean dishes I have tried before, this one tasted oh so good. This is also NOT spicy, thus, I liked it. And, 'wheresoever' they get that from, the beef is of really good kind. For you my readers who are (like me), not (yet) too familiar with K-restaurants, if you are also wondering what those 'little dishes' are for, I only call them "the trimmings"! They're are the usual side-dishes this 레스토랑 serve together with whatever kind of main dish you order. Most of them I never dare touch. Why? Ayoko ng mahanghang! That cute bastardized word 'mahanghang' comes from my nephew, at ginaya ko na! Oi, there weren'...

Let's continue my story from where I earlier finished! Delayed departure from CGY for about an hour. ETD was 1505H , but at 1607H here I was with my fellow passengers still walking to Laguindingan Airport's Gate 3. GoRa! If you noticed, there's an aerobridge at left, but this flight was not boarded that way! Boarding Propeller Planes At Laguindingan We went down this way: via the stairs, to the tarmac, and on to our tiny little plane! Hey, some of you (including me 'sometimes') may hate the thought of walking down stairs and on the tarmac's pavement, just to board an aircraft. But I liked it this time! It's Best When Not Raining or Sunny Hot Late-afternoon orange sunrays, wide field and sea views, gentle warm breeze. Nice! I said warm , not cool - that is because this airport vicinity is far from mountains or hills. That said, you know what that means, right? Yes, the air has that "beachy" feel! Why I Like Propeller Pl...

This was another fun-flight-day. Meaning? Ah, another circuitous route from Point A to Point B. Yey! Much like how I flew into this new Bohol-Panglao International Airport (IATA Airport Code is still TAG ), my flight-out may look complicated. But we already expounded on that in a previous story , right? Yea! This first leg of the route was a "new to me" flight, a direct service on PAL from Panglao to Davao. Was I excited? "Very", to say the least! Why? Well, because this route is rather new. PAL started on this only in November 2017 with a 4x per week flight, then they made it once-a-day schedule since March 2018. Convenience both for international and domestic passengers who want to hop directly between these two tourist capitals -Bohol and Davao- without the need for backtracking to say, Cebu or even Manila. Let's go na! Departure From The New Panglao International Airport Bye Panglao's New Airport ! Pushback! Aw, not literally push-back. I...
