  • Going to DMIA: Trials and travails

    The Diosdado Macapagal International Airport is located inside the Clark Freeport Zone in the Province of Pampanga. It serves both domestic and international flights for destinations as close as Manila to as far flung as Palau. Diosdado Macapagal International Airport

  • UST and Lumina Pandit

    I can count the number of times I went to UST. My first memory of UST was of one of my brothers studying there. It was followed by a sadder one — an uncle confined for several months, and eventually dying in the university hospital. There was also the memory of me taking the college…

  • Bangkok Airport Link: Fastest and cheapest way to Suvarnabhumi

    In previous trips to Bangkok, I would either take the taxi or the Airport Express Bus to wherever I’m staying. Both option has its pros and cons: taxis are more comfortable and convenient, but it can be quite expensive if you’re shouldering the cost on your own. The bus, on the other hand, is a…

  • Thailand Open 2010

    Those who follow Just Wandering on Facebook and Twitter would already know that I spent the weekend in Bangkok. If you recall, I was in Bangkok around the same time last year as well. The reason for heading to BKK last weekend was the same as last year’s: to stalk watch Rafael Nadal at the…

  • Travel Expenses: Indonesia

    This is probably the first international trip (not counting Australia) wherein I didn’t make a travel budget prior to leaving.

Kovan was actually pretty near my brother’s place, so I figured I’ll try it out since I’ve been craving for nasi lemak. This one is a make your…

  • Note from Bali

    Bali surprised me. I never really researched about the island, so while I was expecting beaches, I was overwhelmed with culture. Unlike most of Indonesia, Bali is Hindu. There are temples and shrines all over the island and giant statues swathed in black and white checkered cloth. I was frankly unimpressed by Kuta and Legian…

  • Note from Jakarta

    I’m in BSD City, a relatively newly constructed city on the outskirts of Jakarta in Zuky’s room, my CouchSurfing host. It was hard to find good accommodation at a fair price here, so I decided to give CouchSurfing another chance (I didn’t quite like my first CouchSurfing experience in Hong Kong). I was glad I…
