Guide to getting lost in Korea: Food Itinerary

 An itinerary can tell what kind of traveller a person is. An adventure seeker, a nature lover or a history buff may fill his schedule with activities and places that suits them. One of the requirements to getting a Korean visa is to submit an itinerary and while I was making one, it quickly revealed the theme of our trip😊. Our days revolved around food goals. The Korean cuisine helped us where google maps failed! We basically ate our way in Korea. Below is my attempt to capture our Korean food tour. 


 One more dish not included in the video was the jjajjangmyeon that we had after going down from Namsan Tower.

Mga Aklat: Payo sa Pangangalaga ng Aklat

Image
Bilang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika, ako’y magsusulat sa wikang Filipino. Naisipan kong  magbahagi ng isa sa aking natutunan sa aking pag aaral sa mababang paaralan. Sa mga nakapag aral sa pampublikong paaralan, ‘di lingid sa inyong kaalaman na, bagama’t libre, ay hiram lamang at kailangan ibalik ang mga aklat sa pagtatapos ng taon para magamit ng mga susunod na mag-aaral. Noong ako’y nag aaral pa ay hindi sapat ang bilang ng mga aklat sa bilang ng mga mag-aaral kaya isa sa mga paraan ng aming mga guro ay pag tabihin ang mga mag-aaral na may magkaibang aklat upang kami ay mag hiraman. Kadalasan, ang mga ito ay luma at naninilaw na ang mga pahina. Kung mayroong darating na mga bagong isyu ng aklat, pinapagamit naman ngunit ‘di muna ito ipinapauwi sa mga mag aaral upang maiwasang maluma agad. Sa loob ng anim na taon, sa ikalimang baitang lamang ako nakatanggap ng limang aklat (sa kadahilanang ang aming guro noon ay kilalang istrikto👩‍🏫). Dahil dito, natutunan kong pangalagaan ...

Riding the Dubai Ferry and some Commuting Escapades

Image
As I was writing this, articles about a new Dubai metro line – Blue line have come out at the same time I heard about a plan for an elevated expressway along   the historic Pasig river back home and how it is being debated in The Howie Severino Podcast . Named PAREX for Pasig River Expressway it is supposed to solve traffic congestion in the metro by linking Laguna de Bay and Manila Bay therefore giving alternative routes to the business districts(futurearc.com, March 2023). Coincidentally, I have just recently tried the Dubai Ferry, also run by RTA , which has been operating for quite a long time already with routes going to Dubai Marina, Bluewater Marine Transport Station,   Al Ghuabaiba , etc. and two round trip timings a day at Dubai Marina station   (see routes/timings here ). I grew up taking public transportation to school and work. To understand better what my life as a commuter in the Philippines was, I shall recount my commuting escapades: Going to school, I n...

The Case of Film Photography: Luxury or Reasonable?

Image
I’ve fallen prey once again to consumerism! What’s the bait? Film camera!📷. Growing up, my family never owned one. All our pictures in the photo album were from friends’ and relatives’ cameras. By the time I  can afford to have one, the digital age kicked in. So our first ever camera was a Sony  digital camera in 2011 that I’m not sure where it’s now and pretty sure have used it 2 or 3 times only hahaha! It really wasn’t that expensive to own one in the 90's and since it’s the only way of taking pictures of your memorable experiences and milestones in life , it’s supply and demand made the prices fairly competitive. But buying a camera, a battery, a film, then paying for developing is a lost argument to my mother.  Her practicality would put today’s trendy minimalists and backpackers to shame. Sure it wouldn’t be that much a pinch in the pocket to slide affordable camera options alongside food, clothing, house and school in the budget, but do we really have to? Answer: N...
