You know i couldn’t resist the white beach photos at some point! Click the photo for more pics… After a week in the Philippines’ golden nugget island of Boracay, we decided to leave the beaches behind for a while, and headed off to the remote corner of Palawan. A 5 minute tricycle, followed by a [...]

Over 1000 monks have taken to the streets in Bago, a city i visited last year and met a number of monks [...]
