Chris,
I’m hooked on your Newbie Traveler podcast. You’ve gotten an amazing insightful approach of presenting the websites and locations I dream about on the earth. You’ve gotten radio talking voice with very attention-grabbing content material. I began listening about 1 yr in the past beginning with the primary episodes and now I’m on episode 548. I particularly loved your tackle the holidays you went on particularly the Newbie Traveler Journeys, so I booked the Istanbul journey months in the past. I’ve been to Western Europe and the Philippines and Istanbul can be so totally different. Anyway, sadly, I needed to cancel the journey due to a household points that take up my spare time however I hope I could make it to your subsequent journey in 2021. Cheers and I look ahead to your podcast of the 2020 Istanbul journey.
Additionally since I simply got here again from a 3 week journey to Manila and the Visaya Area I’d prefer to reply your 4 questions as if I used to be honored to be interviewed in your present.
#1 The Prettiest Spot I went to was driving across the mountain street in Legazpi and seeing a wide ranging view of the proper Mayon Volcano with a lenticular cloud cap. Breathtaking.
#2 What makes me chuckle and solely within the Philippines:
When the pay rest room will cost you 5 pesos for peeing however 10 pesos for shitting
#3 You actually know you’re within the Philippines when a stray canine walks in the midst of an ongoing Catholic church service and no person kicks the canine out even when it pees, as a result of it’s not a giant deal and nobody cares. Individuals think about the mass service.
#4 What three phrases to summarize the Philippines: Tropical, Resilient, Colourful
Hope to have the ability to go a future journey in 2021 or 2022.
Sincerely,
Nonnie
