I really think that USS needs its own post so here it is. Universal Studios in Singapore is one of the top tourist attraction of the country. If you are looking for a whole day adrenaline and crazy rides then you are in the right place.
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is just 5 hours away by bus from Singapore so we took the opportunity to explore it the next day. After USS tour, we had our free dinner in Fullerton then off we go to Kuala Lumpur by a night bus. Everyone here looks like Filipinos and the city has the same vibe like Manila but with better transportation.
This is my first time traveling alone internationally and crossing the border is somewhat new to me. Reading blogs for reference, I only found few information about border crossing from Siem Reap to Bangkok. Usually, they cross from Bangkok to Siem Reap and it’s a little bit nerve wrecking when you can’t find info.
It’s been a while since I had a DIY trip and this time, I’m going international for the first time in my life and I’m going to Cambodia and Thailand.
One of the reason I visited Siem Reap is because of their Angkor Temples. These ruins are the most famous archaeological sites in Cambodia that reminds Khmer’s historical events. The main highlight is the Angkor Wat which is the capital of the city of temples in early 12th century — built for the Hindu god Vishnu. But what happened to this city that made it as one of the iconic and largest religious monument of the world? What ruined it? . .
Siem Reap which means the ‘defeat of Siam’ is the gateway to Angkor. It was once the capital of Cambodia but was changed to Phnom Pehn. Aside from Angkor Temples, the city has improved from once a quiet city to one of the most visited spot by tourist around the world. .
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand — an urban city with heavy traffic and busy people. However, don’t be discourage with it since Bangkok has a lot to offer. From temples and palaces, Thai foods, markets to night life, well, they have everything here for you.
One of the popular destination for family, friends and travel blogger wannabe like me is to travel around Northern Mindanao. And luckily, one of my friend was able to book a round trip flight to Cagayan De Oro for only P500.00 and who would say no to that? So together with my girl friends, we explore the three most popular spots there. Usually, booking for package tour is one of the common and normal thing friends should do for more convenient and easy trip but we want to do it on our own way instead. Savage!
Finally, the wait is over and our first day of our Northern Mindanao trip has just begun! Dahilayan Forest Camp in Bukidnon is first in our list, which is located in Manolo Fortich. **I really love saying it all over again** lol Bukidnon is a landlocked province in the Philippines located in the Northern Mindanao region. It is best know for its Dahilayan Adventure Park and Forest Park where the longest zipline in Mindanao is found. On your way to Dahilayan, you’ll pass the Del Monte pineapple plantation. One of the biggest pineapple plantation that exports around the world.
It was a chilly morning on our 2nd day in Northern Mindanao — thanks to Bukidnon weather. We’d love to stay and cuddle with the pillow but we had to go to Iligan City that day. Nearly 4-hours away from Bukidnon, we had to travel back to Cagayan De Oro ’cause it’s the entry point for Iligan. Iligan City, the capital of Lanao del Norte, is the home of Maria Cristina Falls. Aside from Maria Cristina, Iligan is also proud of Tinago Falls, which is located in Linamon municipality.
