destination: DAVAO!
This
is me having all the money in the world – spending it for a worthy cause: PH
tourism. HAHAHAHA Okay, let’s not get ahead and go all excited. My PH-travel
itch is still not that itchy enough for me to really focus on seeing Pinas in
all its glory. But hey, I am almost there and good thing is that there are
still 7ooo+ islands to wander around. So good luck with that itch and that
buying power! hahahahaha
Okay,
back to Davao. This place is always associated with two fundamental PH
legends: Durian and Mindanao.
But, if you’re smart and well-experienced, of course you won’t always believe
what you hear or see not unless you experience it for yourselves, right? Thus,
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! (either that or we’re just looking for a smart excuse to
travel some more haha)
Some
interesting things we discovered about Davao:
- It’s the country's largest city outside Metro Manila
and it’s named by the Foreign Direct Investment Magazine as the 10th
"Asian City of the Future"!
- Their taxi fares are almost as cheap as Manila’s
jeepney fares, so it would be more “convenient” to travel via taxi ride –
relatively cheap and you’ll get to have tons of stories from your cab
drivers
- Swinging by the People’s Park will give you a glimpse
of Davao’s very own “Sunken Garden”. It’s smaller and cleaner, with lots
of soccer kids and hungry mosquitoes.
- They offer entertaining and detailed palm reading
schemes just right in front of their local churches – talk about faith and
future! :)
- National Library on wheels: Davao’s very own BOOK
MOBILE: a moving bus type vehicle, Davao’s city library and information
center
- They don’t have the internationally famous coffee
houses yet, but Davao has its own version: BLURGE Coffee – comparable
taste!
- A must try: BARBEQUE BOSS. They have the cheapest and
most delicious barbeques around.
- Tribu K’ Mindanawan is a MUST visit cultural village.
Their performance and story telling of Davao’s rich history is truly world
class
- If you’re a fan of overlooking views, Davao certainly
can offer you one memorable city-lights panorama. Go to Jack's Ridge.
- Davao is SAFE. Contrary to hearsays about Mindanao
cities versus safety, Davao is actually a tourist friendly city. Hi,
Davao!
Jampacked
days full of (mis)adventures, tactics, and legendary laughs, Davao will always
be that much admired PH city and now we have more than Durian and Mindanao
facts to back up our admiration.
We'll come back for you, Davao.
