Life has returned to normal in Roxas Boulevard after Typhoon Pedring, and especially when you're billeted in Manila Ocean Park's Hotel H20! H20 prides itself for being the first aquarium-themed hotel in the Philippines. Service is still rather raw coming from the mostly neophyte staff but there's no doubt in my mind that this is one of the best hotels to stay in town right now.

It was only for a record 24 hours but I realized there's so much to enjoy in that short span of time when you ... Continue Reading...

Boasting of 24.6 million arrivals last year, it ranks No. 9 globally among countries with the most number of tourists, next only to the UK, Turkey & Germany. Hard to believe, but this is only because "in Malaysia, we treat tourism as a serious business." These words were uttered by no less than Malaysia's Minister of Tourism, YB Dato’ Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen, who met with the ... Continue Reading...
