despite the hassles of packing and rushing to beat a flight, i would have to say that i will always love traveling. there is truly something marvelous about seeing everything for the first time, and the novelty of it all inspires you to do more in order for you to see more.

going to panglao island in bohol was a very welcome respite. the beach was clean and although there were several bars and establishments catering to tourists, it was not as chaotic nor as commercialized as what boracay had become. the primitive had somehow blended in with the new, and seeing a ford pick-up or an internet cafe in the middle of so much greenery just seemed so random. it's almost amazing to think that huge patches of land haven't yet been turned into commercial complexes, and i do hope that those lands stay as pristine as when i had seen them into the far future.

bohol is one of those places in the country that is really tourist-friendly. boholanos make sure that you don't only get to enjoy the sights, they also make you feel very welcome. most of the tourist sights are packed with people, but unlike in some other parts of the philippines, these places are hardly lacking in toilet, security, information, retail, and transportation facilities.
