Nice place to visit wouldn?t want to live there. They do have some seriously beautiful beaches though, just have to watch out for the Sea Urchins and water snakes.

I've been gone for over 10 days on the best vacation! It was an awesome experience to be able to stay with my stepmom's family in the philippines. We stayed on the island of Panay (south of Luzon) on a small farm/ranch house in the town of Aklan.

It was really neat seeing how simple their lifestyle is... yet how happy they live. Her family is one of the nicest group of people that i've met. We left that island and stayed at the Sand Castle hotel in Boracay for 2 nights. The island had the cleanest water with white sandy beaches. It was truly a site to see!

We stayed 7 days in the philippines and then 3 nights at the Miramar hotel in Hong Kong. I'll post more pics as i upload them!
