Seth’s Travel Diary
Cebu, my first ASEAN adventure
Beaches, island hopping, Lechon, Jollibee and a lot of UNO with awesome friends in the Philippines.
My second international trip, this time, was to visit a neighboring country - the Philippines.
It's so cool that I only need to bring my passport (no visa required, because ASEAN countries can travel freely, maximum 15 days). I went to Cebu. Unfortunately, there was no direct flight, so the flights were: HCMC => Manila, then Manila => Cebu.
Cebu has lovely beaches, not-so-crazy-hot weather, and nice people (most people can speak English, so it's cool).
Met some awesome friends and had tons of fun. We played a lot of games (UNO - many kinds of UNO, League of Legends, sport activities, islands hopping) and shared amazing dishes together. Totally love it!
Foods: totally amazing. I had seafood, fish, pork (especially Lechon), chickens, Jolibee (a must lol), and of course, Balut (I actually can eat this in Vietnam, so no biggie for me haha).
Fun fact: my favorite coffee brand in Vietnam - Highlands Coffee - they have some stores (in the airports, cities). Taste just like home, the menu is even using Vietnamese (main headline) and English (as sub-headline), unfortunately, the staff didn't know Vietnamese haha, so we have to order using the English name.
