As I mentioned before, I was in Cebu City a few weeks ago. When I was in that airport I went to a counter to get a Coke Zero. One of the girls was singing. I mean, who other than Filipinos sings at a place where you get drinks? Singing is a part of Filipino culture. I brought up the fact to the girls that many Filipino singers are famous such as Arnel Pineda and Lea Salonga.

Mactan Airport is head and shoulders above Manila - particularly in the International terminal. Love that you found this and I hope it makes your departures and returns to this beautiful country all the more pleasant! 🙏👍

Hi👋 Nice to see you again and your adventures. Hope you enjoy Thailand, tcare, stay safe 😊

Terminal 2 at the Mactan-Cebu Airport is relatively quiet in certain times of day because most or about 70-80% of its international flights arrive and leave during the night, especially from early evening to wee hours in the morning. Most flights operating at night are arriving or departing for South Korea as Koreans make up about 60% of all international visitors to Cebu.

Awe so sad, leaving the philippines and Ann. My favorite blogger am looking forward to seeing wheres next...thanks for the chicken adobo video and hopefully Ann can start her own blog.

I went to that airport before leaving Cebu. I have a niece that works there at the airport. I ate in that first booth you ate at the third booth but that’s a nice restaurant. Say hello to Ann. My wife is from Cebu.

I on my third visit to Philippines - one mi=onth in 2022, two months last year with a fortnight in Vietnam in the middle. This year, I've been almost two month here - got a 30 day extension during my first week here - I'm two smalll towns south of Tacloban, Tanauan. Monday next, I will travel to Vietnam for a month and return here for two more weeks before flaying back to Dublin with a week long stopover in Bangkok - my first visit to Thailand. I'm probably at least twice your age and making up for the many years that I didn't travel. I'm more interested in the people and he way of life and travelling with my guitar and playing at the markets introduces me to many - maybe even pays for my food for the day. I'll definitely try the mango and sticky rice once I get there. Unfortunately busking by foreigners is illegal there - I might cha=ech out whether I can play with a sign saying; PLEASE DON"T GIVE ME TIPS I enjoy your videos and I'm really surprised you're managing to stay single.

I went to Phuket many times...it's my favorite winter getaway. Great food. I don't even go to Bankok at all.
