Overseas line of the 2006 Travel Philippines-Manila, long beach (1)

Go to the Philippines really nothing prepared before, this two years he feels like the world, have seize did not do well, mood, but golden week generally accustomed to walk outside, so in early August has no intention to take a look at cheap air fares in the market, he found the Tiger airlines fly to Macau Manila airline tickets-cheap, but also think netizens visited before being published long beach photos very charming, online display Manila fly long beach of inland flights that are quite effective, so reuse pupils in mathematics assessment at travel expenses-total four-pass flight journey around 3000 points to meet the basic requirement of our high quality and low price; then and his wife and several travel friend communication intentions of some of most months, finally got the time of travel to determine.

But because the process as determined by my status as big heart little heart, eventually rise in airfares on the Internet for good in a total of eight people of all air tickets, the result is: beyond the original meter 6 people's travel plans, or the number exceeds the expected costs of 5% (airfare not etc), huh, huh ....

Gossip is not to say, indeed, went to the Philippines come back feeling or a worth of tourism in the country, although through the way we have experienced no small small problem, but does not prevent our heart on this country's favor, especially used on this country very biased, this time the journey is, indeed, I feel that the other side of the best tourist places – the Philippines.

Travel arrangements:

10.1: Foshan-Macau-Manila, Manila at night;

10.2: morning, afternoon wandering Manila to kalibo aircraft (card standing wave), minibuses to long beach shore, then ferry to enter long beach I., before spending the long beach;

10.3: long beach tour;

10.4: long beach sea tour;

10.5: long beach after the breakfast, the road back to Manila;

10.6: Manila-Macau-Foshan.

I like using liushuizhang us record type is a wonderful journey process presents for everyone, for reference purposes only:

The first day of the trip:

About hired a friend of van, am 7: 00 is off, all go forward together 8 people, 3-hour drive from smooth to Zhuhai Gongbei, cheap Tiger Airlines does not provide lunch, so we in Gongbei restaurant arranged the stomach so that its detractors.

11: 00 start Queuing clearance, the Macau immigration without in that small room inside, instead of Queuing outside immigration, finally and Hong Kong there practice, the different always made us both.

12: 00 after gateway, playing to the airport, less than ten minutes we reach the check-in counter of the Tiger aircraft, also saw a 50 minute flight was delayed, late notice is an internationalization problem.

The original plan 14: 00 departure of the aircraft as a result it was only after 15: 00, heart think Manila will be late, will bring us an inconvenient, the result is verified my worry.

16: 30 arrival in Manila clark (Clark) military airport, now as cheap airport base, from the town there are also 3 hours by car. Well, we all do better immigration formalities in the Philippines, came to a very small arrival hall found a small coin exchange point and found no one business, miserable, holding a bunch of us nowhere so, this is the beginning of our trouble! see some compatriots to airport staff in the private Exchange, go when they've finished not pesos, see exit a store, the exchange rate: 1: 48, very good price, no way to change some occasion or to buy tickets in town, discuss it on only for buy 350P ticket per person for money, plans to enter Manila city pulls it, then it is a surprise we expected!

Airport bus 17: 30 departure airport, midway in Clarke, a satellite city paused, 20: 00 in the Terminal, PASAY area out of the station front asked in front of the station with gun guard where the hotel is no definite answer, travel anterior me finishing some netizens travels, which will introduce the station near the hotel, decided to find the hotel, while the side looking changers for pesos.

However we disappointed station near impossible to find two shop, hotel, a company called WINSTON HOTEL, called price 1200 pesos a day but only one room and refused to let us 8 people live, another hotel, it is called granden is not clean, and we didn't pesos, staff also refused to accept US dollars, you can only select a withdrawal. Ask a lot of local people, and then finally to cross flow flowing tram overpass, came to the platform of another hotel, it is at the door has been gun Guard stopped, only dropped no rooms to open the door to shut.

These scenes are really hard to imagine that might be too much before I came out to overestimate the Philippines tourist environment, didn't expect that this situation, this is strange I on this journey too self-confident, line does not do full of lessons ready, later discovered that the light rail routes near PASAY easily reach tours travellers centrally malate, there are countless changers, countless hotel.

That is no wonder that my decision to come to the Philippines, it found it difficult to find complete information on tourism in the Philippines, and came to the first feeling is they didn't travel environment, even in the airport looking for Manila map are difficult to — in fact, they have prepared this information, but the number and attitude are not enough, it's a good thing that I can get the staff in the hands of the last one, otherwise the night even worse the AH.

Not really sad day pisau heaven without of course his underground up heavy rain, wandering among the eight were teammates and not afraid to separate, for the purposes of their country and English is the rookie-level.

On the occasion of the open map, we came up with a stupid method: greenback went near Manila international airport for pesos! immediately intercepted two taxi drivers accept 2Dollars to the international airport, HA, HA, HA. We're also hopeful!

To the international airport of departure hall, just outside the door and saw the redemption of the peso, less than pleased with the Bank, it is pleased too early, and the Philippines for preventive reasons independent separatists, virtually all public places the doorway shall have charge ammunition guards at the door guarded by, the international airport is serious precaution, it is for this reason, we have to stop at the departure hall, cannot come in there, go to the boarding in this ticket, although we provide tomorrow to start at the national Office to card making waves of e-ticket or not, just tell the guard we just go to the Bank Exchange pesos, and probably tell them we present difficulties, or failed to let us have and has been talked about for a long time, finally persuaded one of the police, and he then to a police report to understand the situation better, after the police officer himself showed us one of the two on the first floor of the Office of the Bank, reached after two hurdles, and finally let us swap with a US $ 200 per person, in the international airport of peso exchange rate is 1: 49.65, careless, or don't care about so much, the key is to have a flower, a time change enough, judging from the current situation, Philippines tourist environment not too optimistic!

Have money, will soon settle down Oh, now I regret why not before the first night of hotel results set down, so many unexpected side, the review found that he was guilty of the empiricism of error, the Thailand experience here, the result is not feasible.

Office of the international airport of arrival at the hotel is located in a stall to see Manila Bay sunset Avenue ALOHAHOTEL (Chinese name is luxury hotel), room one night, feeling 2000P can also call, but the staff to understand is full, and they gave us another hotel from the Manila Bay, and is in our next car near the bus station, we have there, and psychological shadows rejected this proposal.

Back to the departure hall collection 8 people, walking down the Street outside the airport, played two taxis, and lay m table directly to luxury hotel luck to see again, and it seems that the introduction of netizens, thinking that the fight will be very cheap, results destination m table shows to 700P a, nextman, should be the driver had the hands and feet it will be the case, then argue with them, the hotel staff come to understand the situation, we simply say that the airport staff about our fares, now is not working properly, in the end we simply say that the airport police told us to this fare without 350P per vehicle, we can only follow this payment, see this case that the two drivers themselves wrong, received the money. It seems to me to have done before some homework or to play a role, to know what a black driver's bottom line, or difficult, by the way, so that the world has a considerable number of taxi drivers are usually black, both domestic and abroad!

ALOHAHOTEL is booked out, the hotel is to be scheduled, we give up, but once again looking for a unusual night of destiny.

Already the evening of 23: 00, also see Avenue a good Philippine-style restaurant, we have a continuous 10 hours eaten, want to have to think, eat! when we asked the shop assistant in the vicinity of the hotel restaurant, they are very enthusiastic to respond, but you can't say a the so, the question I'm still confused, but then I found out the restaurant not far from malate bar street nearby many hotels, hotel. We were strangers to see this scenario also secretly worried! later they came up with a way to help us ask the taxi driver, with their help, the taxi driver also honest, understand our needs and price requirements, finally or taxi driver's leading the way out we sent to self-tour aggregation of CHERRY BLOSSOMS HOTEL zone, is only a two-storey twin Suite 2365P one night, willy-nilly, immediately to down, never tell the hotel we were eight people to the truth, to live the next batch, and then back to stay in the restaurant waiting for messages to a group of four people, all living in, you may then have been in the evening of 12: 00, the hotel is also just turn a blind eye to eye. Too much of an unforgettable day, tired and we will be in-place lay in the towel in a layer of ground sleep (Ms. second floor room).
