Pattaya Walking Street
Thailand's best known vacation destination Pattaya is known for it's nightlife with bars, beergardens and restaurants. It's all located on an infamous Mile named Walking Street. What Grosse Freiheit is for Hamburg, that's Walking Street for Pattaya. It's a great place for watching people, observing their habits and mistakes like thinking that shemale they are talking to is a beautiful women. Other get drunk and get crazy, some are rude others shy. There is a reason why many people compare Pattaya to a zoo.
Cebu Seafood SUTOKIL
Salo Salo (eat together) restaurant offering Sutokil on Mactan Island in Cebu, Philippines. Upon entering the restaurant behind Mactan shrine and the Lapu Lapu monument, the Filipino hero who killed Magellan, a large variety of seafoods is presented at the entrance of this typical Filipino restaurant. Pick your fish, squid, oysters and side dish from freshly caught exhibits and have it cooked to your liking. Even with a location close to such a popular tourist spot prices are moderate and well worth the 10 to 15 US$ per person on average. Sutokil means as much as Sugba (grilled), Tola (soup) and Kilaw (fresh salad).
Galeria Pacifico Buenos Aires
A couple of photos from Galeria Pacifico Buenos Aires, an upscale shopping mall in downtown Buenos Aires just off of main shopping and tourist Mile Florida Street. Galeria Pacifico hosts 4 levels of retail stores and restaurants, most of them devoted to apparel, cosmetics and Italian shoes. It's a nice venue to hang out for a couple of hours on a nice winter day. It would be cool to be really rich and actually be able to afford all the good stuff :-)
Kawasan Waterfalls in Cebu
Eco-tourism is pretty popular in South Philippines. One of the nicest waterfalls on Cebu Island can be found 2 hours south-west of Cebu City. The taxi drive takes me through mid sized mountains and hills. While descending to the occidental part of the Island a stunning view of Bohol Island and Dumaguete is offered.
Kawasan Falls are a couple of Miles south of Malboal, a well known dive resort. The falls are spreading over three horizontal levels. It takes about 30 minutes to explore the first 2 levels. The water is showing a very nice deep green and blue coloring. There are two recreation areas where people swim right under the waterfalls. It's amazing to feel the torrential power of the water when swimming into the waterfall. It's cold and strong. Don't underestimate the weight and take a deep breath before you cross the line (if you can make it against the strong flow, anyhow).
