Rice Terraces of the Philippines

Now that I'm back from my last great adventure I've got a number of people not only hounding me to divulge every dirty detail on the events, but they also want to know about my next big trip. My friends and family knowing me far too well and figured I must have something up my sleeve for the coming months and for the most part they are correct. Just like all the other day-dreamers in the world I'm dreaming of an Asian or African adventure later this year, but only time will tell. One thing I know for sure is I'll want to soak in more of the outdoors and nature this go round.

In my wanderlust online clicking tonight I discovered a collection of photos from Bernard Billedo that makes me want to book travel to the Philippines immediately. It's no secret I've been dying to go for ages, but these beautiful shots of the Batad Rice Terraces and Banga-an Village of Banaue, Philippines put the icing on the cake. The rice terraces have been a work in progress for the last 3,000 years and is a continuous project by men in the area. Without babbling too much, if you're home on this Friday evening like me make sure you give them a looksie and perhaps we'll plan travel together.

My last trip to the Philippines was last January, and have to say this, Why is it that from the airport travelling to the province of Cavite, the Taxi drivers would not use their taxi meters, and as a result , we have to pay tripple for the cost to where we used to go. The drivers said pay for what they demand or walk, which is very rude. From the Taxi drivers to the highest person in the government are currupt, aren't they?
