My Pinoy Journey Bohol

My Pinoy Journey

I’ve met Filipinos all over the world and they’re universally pleasant and an agreeable part of any community. Being very outgoing and fun loving people I had to make a trip to see where all this bonhomie sprang from. Manila airport is a heaving mass of people greeting each other after returning from the dozen or so countries that they’ve dispersed to after the 2nd world war devastated Manila and other places. General MacArthur would return to flatten the then most beautiful city in Asia to rubble in 1945.

Carnival in Uruguay

Carnival in Uruguay

Carnival in Montevideo usually starts in January and proceeds for 40 nights until Shrove Tuesday which in 2023 is the 21st of February. If you can’t stay for the whole forty days, then arrive at least a couple of weeks beforehand to soak up the growing momentum that builds up as mid-summer carries on. Uruguay is Brazil’s little Spanish speaking brother, Montevideo may not have the hill and mounts of Rio but the streets are picturesque and the people are wonderful to be around when summer allows this corner of South America to really strut its stuff.

Hanging out in Jakarta

Hanging out in Jakarta

Usually one flies into the Soekarno–Hatta international airport and quickly shift too either Bali, Sumatra or onto the hinterland of Java but as I love cities I checked into a good hotel and made a trip of it whilst visiting a friend in the city. Jalan Thamin is a main drag that sucks most people to the centre of town, not really for the faint hearted if you’re driving but walking along you are meeting many characters that you wouldn’t meet on a charmed Kuta or Sulawesi beach.
