  • You’re China. I’m Vatican City.

    I was lurking at the BnA boards and found this “What country are you?” quiz. You’re Vatican City! You’re pretty sure that you’re infallible in all that you do or say, and it’s hard to say whether you’re right. You have a lot of followers, most of whom will do whatever you say without question,…

  • Vagabondish.com

    If you think I post a lot of travel news and links, wait till you read Mike’s Vagabondish blog. He shares my fascination with odd/funny/weird/interesting travel news. There’s that post about a plane getting hit by lightning and the pilot who taped his scalp back on after surving a plane crash. He also shares interesting…

  • Bird flies into plane

    I’ve always wondered if it’s possible for airplanes to “run over” birds in flight. It appears that it IS possible. Though in this case, the bird ran flies into the plane. A Southwest Airlines jet has been fixed and returned to service after a bird strike tore a 6-inch hole in the skin of the…

  • Holy water not allowed in Vatican Airline

    Well, in any airline, really. Even holy water from the Roman Catholic shrine at Lourdes can’t get by airport security screening passengers for suspicious liquids.

    Eric reports that the 18th Philippine Travel Mart is set for next weekend, September 7 – 9 at the Megatrade Hall of the SM Megamall. I know most of you have already gotten your paycheck, and if you’re like me, half of it is already gone XD Better save up the remaining half, because from…

  • Another food trip!

    The lovely people at the Filipinas Heritage Library are hosting a food & photography workshop through the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga on September 29, 2007. Filipinos love to travel and to eat. Whenever we go on a trip, we consider not only the sites we can visit but also the local delicacies we can…

  • flickr is LOVE

    I’ve been a flickr user since October 2004. I actually didn’t like them that much then because it takes too long to load (it was mostly flash-based then), and it doesn’t work well with Opera. Of course, back then I’m on a crappy dial-up service, so loading the site is just torture. Eventually I warmed…
