Say “Batanes”, and aside from the scenery, mention of the lighthouses will inevitably happen. For most of my countrymen, Batanes evokes images of Philippine islands which do not normally follow the usual terrain of the rest of the country, though it also has beaches and mountains found in its sister islands. Perhaps because of its […]
The first time I visited Taiwan, I missed seeing Shifen’s eponymously-named waterfall. As we were staying in Jiufen, my second chance to view it happened – so here we are traveling on the Pingxi Line.

Review as entered in TripAdvisor: My regret in staying in this hotel was that we were so pressed for time, I didn’t get to spend many hours to enjoy our stay here. We only spent scant hours to check-in, sleep and eat breakfast. But I definitely would like to come back and stay here whilst […]
