It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...
All my life I have lived in California when I was young. I had moved to the Philippines where the custom and culture are very different from how I was accustom.
Living in the Philippines is quite different. I had to adjust myself from the tropical climate. It took me one year living in a climate that doesn't comes in four season.
While living here you have to deal not just the heat as well putting off lotion to take away the mosquito from you.
The traffic is different they don't obey by stop light. Sometimes they have a police officer standing in the middle of the street giving ways for each way to pass and cross the intersection.
Not like in any other country we have color coding in days we are not allowed to use our vehicle.
After I have lived here for many years I realized the Philippines is the best place to live or come and visit if you are a tourist.
The best time to visit the Philippines is on the month of January and February the weather is cooler and the airfare are inexpensive. The month of March and April is the high temperature where it is very humid. The month of May to October is the rainy season and we have typhoons during these months. November and December you can experience the spirit of Christmas. I should warn you traffic can be really difficult to come and go different places especially in Manila.
In the Philippines they bring out Christmas decoration early as when we start our bear month.
If, you don't speak Tagalog no problem we speak and understand English.
Here in the Philippines like any country there are places to visit not just beach or tropical area. We also have places to hike and enjoy the nature.
I have a lot of friends who have requested me to write my own blog based on my travel experiences, recipes, tips in any lifestyle and etc.
Thank you for reading my blog!
