Manila-long beach I. Tourism of several key words

If you have seen Mr. on long beach I. klausyao captures spectacular travels, it might be noted he repeatedly referred to the "part of the students," not only is the idler; if you want to complete, it should be "leisure without money students".

I and his wife 31 July 2005, August 3, go long beach I., 14, and reverse return return klausyao classmates. If you want to search for detailed price information, please see his good man, not a a duplication; I prepared a few key words, and talk about some of my feelings, I hope the yearning for freedom and beauty friends a deeper impression.

1. season

This is one of the first to emphasize that, because we have large fingers.

In the past in Phuket and Samui's experience, I often have a preference for the low season, because people rarely, a much lower price point, and so-called rainy season, that is a meal to you a little harmful; biggest heavy rain will continue for several hours. However this experience cannot be pushed and long beach I., August 3, after landing, the landing, the typhoon winds, heavy rains, once unable to travel from the hotel. And after coming to klausyao eased, he is really a jacked typhoons, power is endless. So, if we are just 5-6 days, they only hold up to their regret at the left. Remember the first few days, hiding in the hotel, three meals a day to deal with it, the camera because of humidity, really annoyed inexplicable. So if you want to go, the preferred is 4-5 months, the wind long gas, prices are not much higher than the low season (this point with Phuket, Samui also varies). You may ask a question, it will be out on specially,? I Typhoon where see all WHITE BEACH on the West side of the hotel have had very large fence, it is said that a bundle is nearly half a year, so it is visible the overall threat of the rainy season there was very great. The rainy season caused by another inconvenience is the temperature, the temperature is lower than Phuket, Samui, 2-3 degrees, don't underestimate this 2-3 degrees, which directly led to the cold sensation after launching, we can say that it is not very suitable for swimming.

2. landscape

Long Beach I. scenery is very beautiful, the colour of the sea far exceeds more than Phuket, Samui.

Half an hour walk from the hotel to the East Coast (relative calm), you can see a very quiet and spectacular sea view, thrilling. Equally beautiful, perhaps from Phuket to sit one and a half hours speedboat to phi-phi Island, or from Samui sit two and a half hours to go to the Tao, a glimpse of the island, but in the long beach I., just want to see, you can see every day. In case of a beautiful day, the Sun of seawater was glittering and translucent, making people forget about the other facilities on the island is relatively scarce, return to the true meaning of tourism. Even if you do not go far away, throw open their Windows look out on a daily basis, and is also stunning scenery, the murder of film (should be the CF card). So remember, when the weather is good, take photographs, trying desperately to play, not fond of, since there can be a bit of time.

3. Entertainment

And the scenery is, of course, lack of recreation facilities, this is a fact.

There may not be consistent with the general concept of tourism. All from ctrip vacation product overseas, Star, time is short, the program compact universal principles; and there you will find idling, "stuffy" unbearably. I first on long beach I., described the "desert island", is the truth. But in hindsight, even in the bustling Phuket, I also do not bubble once, what is not seen, naturally is not a piece of material; just the bustling Phuket, people will follow the spirits and full of imagination. But in the long beach I., I'm afraid to try some lonely taste.

Think of the United Kingdom, 19 years old, just exactly when the whole island is not powered on, he's no road, only the Bamboo Grove, he bingzhuye reading, fishing.

He gave me this beautiful little island, feeling he did not like the 19 years, and the like just to 19 days filled with curiosity and fresh. This is persistent. On the contrary we these cities noisy assimilated, the possibility of a few days, in accordance with the city of the work out of those noisy rules, to embrace this "desert island"?

Finally, I wish to emphasize that Phuket's cheap indeed pose a preconceived ideas, live in long beach I., will feel the price similar what a humble Hotel? how is so bad for breakfast? grades similar Hotel how so expensive?, and so on and so on.

However, perhaps the world will not have a second Phuket, if you want to open up horizons, sometimes need to take risks, and sometimes need to compromise.

4. food (following start of Manila)

Philippine food and fast food world famous, although there is also a restaurant, but it's not perfect, so go over there and it is best to eat more food (if you have Chinese food dependency and homesick, it is recommended that you simply don't want to go).

Filipinos good shops, shopping malls make a ratio of a large, finally broke records in Asia. Many restaurants will open in the major shopping malls, Chef are foreigners, taste of authentic, cheap and tasty. If ever a Italy restaurant, small, crowded into a corner on the second floor, but the types of pasta have several hundred selected, sprinkle with black pepper to use that "long barrel", but also to bread as a receptacle for delicious soup. And Shanghai hang or Westgate Mall high above the restaurant, where all the restaurants are in the face of the general public, the white collar work to eat, lovers meet to eat, eat class, students everywhere are bustling, crowded in the Philippines country people eat, think life in the middle atmosphere very strong, is not showing off some posturing restaurant Shanghai tourism and taste. Manila's super large shopping malls, Super big cinema, a dozen Hall, turns on the Hollywood blockbuster with Korea, the fare is around $ 15-20.

5. shopping

Manila's shopping choices, while shopping malls, but awareness of the brand just a few.

Sometimes shopping centre 3 floor, will open 3 GUESS stores. Main cheap brand is GUESS, LEVI ' S, the style is casual, even some "rags", is not fit for Shanghai white-collar brothers. Manila everyone wear jeans, whatever is good or bad, it seems like everyone is not going to Office work. The other is business day day really like klausyao saysThe Mall also crowded with people, it seems everyone simply don't work like that has not been sought.

However, because the exchange rate advantage (we went to the first-for-dollar, then swap pesos, the exchange rate close to 1: 7), so some commodity prices still very attractive.

For example, I bought a $ 300 million HUSH PUPPIES 2 pair of shoes (that is, cover a large dog, commonly known as "paparazzi shoes"), $ 80 bought 2 ADIDAS t-shirt, his wife $ 100 Yuan to buy a GUESS belt, and so on. We were in Thailand buy used cheap LACOSTE and CERUTTI JEANS, go to the Philippines to do as the Romans do, buy them cheap. Do not imagine well I have to buy anything, so the inevitable disappointment.

6. Security

This is a lot of people, I would like to emphasize the overall, Manila is safe.

Manila airport, hotels, shopping malls, nativism, Dutch guns, several hurdles, if from the robber bandits point of view, there would not have the means to succeed. It is up to, beggars night trip, causing some distress.

Philippines tourism lack good promotion, so the entire nation's image was also covered with a layer of mysterious and gloomy colour; we go, is the Philippine President Arroyo bribery scandals in the most heated discussions, from domestic news felt there was chaos and order seems to be subject to the outbreak of large-scale political unrest and violent conflict.

But actually go to the felt very serene atmosphere, some of the parade only stress the "expression", came from the street with a smile, without any danger. Also, Manila city landmark Rizal Plaza, actually see many cross eight seven vertical distortion of lying on the lawn of the poor, accustomed to people square sight of people, can make a lot of mockery of comments, but I am responsible, as seen from my Manila, where ordinary people's living conditions than you might think.

Last would like to mention some pertinent criticisms, representative of the Philippines national image of those institutions, many problems, there is need for a thorough reform: first, the Consulate General of manner and efficiency, we have seen from anyone else on the Internet for the Philippines, Visa troubles more 200 million might find travel agency (last a total of 500 per person, it is very expensive), it is said that their attitude to the consulate than Nepal; Secondly, PAL service level is too low, and Southeast Asia, Malaysian Airlines, SIA is not a grades, and even worse than in domestic China Eastern Airlines frequent subject of ridicule; the last is immigration, teams, and inefficient.

These are damaged the image of the Philippines, that she has such an exceptional conditions (such as comparison from mainland China, beautiful, cheaper as a selling point), tourism has significantly lagged behind several neighbouring countries.

Popular in the Philippines, the personality handicapped.
