Going to Bacolod is very convenient as well. If you are going to take a boat, it will take approximately 18 hours from Manila. Bacolod is the place to be for seafood lovers. Fresh oysters are a great delicacy in this city. Of course, never leave Bacolod without tasting the city's number one dish, which is Chicken Inasal. Do not worry about getting lost in this big city because there are only two main roads with the others along those roads. Bacolod is also known for its old unpainted houses, fresh fruit stores, scenic mountain views, and very friendly people.

If you are in the area, I would highly recommend you to visit Anilao. This place hosts one of the best diving sites in the country, and a favorite among tourists. Some of the spectacular dive sites in the area are Batalan, Caban Cove, Ligpo Island, Merriel's Rock, Sombrero Island and Verde Island. Aside from these diving sites, you can also experience great beaches. Batangas is also a hub of white sand beaches located in places such as Nasugbu, Calatagan, San Juan, and Matabungkay. Of course, you can also visit attractions such as the General Malvar Museum and Library, Mabini Shrine, Taal Heritage Village, and the Basilica of San Martin de Tours.

The Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, which is located in the rugged areas of Rajasthan, and the Kaziranga National Park in Assam are one of the popular wildlife sites. Other great National Parks in India are the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve, Kanha National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Bandipur Tiger Reserve, Ranthambore National Park, and Gir National Park. These sites possess a great variety of flora and fauna species. Tourists can also experience safari packages in most wildlife centers. Guests are offered the opportunity to enjoy these adventures in groups, in secured transportation services such as jeeps, and even elephant safaris. So when in India, do not forget to explore the wildlife.

Food is great in Libya. It is a blend of Arabic and Mediterranean cuisine. Couscous is a famous local dish which consists of boiled cereal used as a base for meat and potatoes. The meat is usually mutton. In some cases, chicken is also used. Libya has also great and fun nightlife with numerous clubs, bars, restaurants, and live music bands. The people are also adventurous and full of energy. Since Libya is mostly a desert country with extremely hot conditions, the best time to visit Libya is between November and March when daytime temperatures are normally cool.

One of the highlights of Ifugao are the Banaue Rice Terraces, which are vast, interconnected strips of rice terraces, which are recognized as one of the 5 beautiful sites in the Philippines. Because of its enormous beauty, the governor of Ifugao has made the preservation of this site the highest priority. The people, dialect, and the province are termed Ifugao which means People of the Earth. The people of Ifugao are known to be an independent agricultural society. For the Ifugao, their culture revolves around the rice, which is considered a prestige crop.

The first site are acutally the only four baroque churches in the country, which are the Santa Maria Church in Ilocos Sur, Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte, San Agustin Church in Manila, and Santo Tomas Villanueva in Iloilo. These four churches are architectural wonders mixing Baroque and Filipino details. The Banaue Rice Terraces in the Ifugao mountains are beautiful 2000-year old terraces carved by the ancestors of the Batad indigenous people. Vigan is known for its cobblestone streets and beautiful colonial European architecture.The Puerto Prinsesa Subterranean River National Park is a stunning limestone karst landscape with a beautiful underground river. Lastly, the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park is a dazzling and enormous reef of marine sanctuary that is nominated at the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

If you want to have a great time in the city, you have to visit Intramuros, which is the “Walled City”. It was built during the Spanish regime, and still looks beautiful. The cobblestone streets which were once trudged by the Spaniards, are windows to beautiful Spanish architecture. Also, go to Malate and visit two of the oldest churches in Manila, which are the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church. Experience a breezy afternoon at the Baywalk, which is a long strip of walkway on Roxas Boulevard. You can watch the beautiful Manila sunset at Manila Bay.

One of the famous activities you can indulge in is skating. A circular skating rink allows you to rent skates, and it is located at the southern end of the park. There are also basketball and tennis courts for the active sports enthusiast. Other things you can find at Burnham Park are a few restaurants, children's playground, outdoor kiosks, and an orchidarium. The football Field hosts lots of activities such as parades, concerts, carnivals, and display booths. If you plan to visit Burnham Park, do not forget to bring your camera to capture great moments with family and friends. Burnham Park is one simple and enjoyable ways you can spend your time in the city.

Minesview park is usually the next stop after visiting the Mansion and Wright Park. Once you enter the park, you will pass winding stone-covered pathway that slopes downward leading to the observation deck. There are also rock benches that lay along the pathway where you can simply rest and enjoy the view. I recommend that you visit the park in the morning because fog starts to move in during the afternoon, which obstructs the view. Of course, there is a wide assortment of “pasalubong” or gifts that make Minesview Park an enjoyable place.

The moment you enter Camp John Hay, you will be astonished by its beauty. You will notice a large bentgreen grass-filled golf course within the camp that is designed by Jack Niclaus, which is accessible to members and nonmembers alike. It is also great to cruise the pine tree-lined roads while feeling the cool breeze and viewing the beautiful landscape. Camp John Hay also has great hotels such as The Manor Hotel, a shopping center, and a convention center. Although the camp has changed over time, it still remains a wonderful and relaxing place for everyone.
