A Pinoy in the Americas

San Andrés, Colombia

"Equipo de esnórkel para alquilar", the man offered while I was passing by his ambulant cart. Snorkeling, diving and swimming with stingrays are very common water sports activities in the calm waters of San Andrés. The island itself is surrounded by coral reefs and several keys, which are very popular with tourists from the other Caribbean islands, the US, Europe and the rest of the Americas:

Alam mo anak kaya nawalan na akong interest magbakasyon sa America,gawa ng airport dito sa Europe like sa FRA,Scipholl (Amsterdam) and France(Charles De Gaulle.Dyan sa mga airport na yan kapag yan ang origin namin,katakot-takot na interview at securities ang ginagawa sa mga passengers patungong USA and South America.Kulang na lang paghubarin ang passengers.Kapag isang bagay lang na pagkakamali ipapasok ka sa cabin at duon lahat uusisain.

Nangyari ang ganitong situation sa airport after ng World Trade bombardement.After nyan,naka 2 times pa kami ng ex kong mag USA.Pero talagang napakahirap na.

Naku, Ma, nangyayari talaga 'yan lalo na kapag papunta sa o palabas mula South America at Caribbean. Alam mo naman na mga hotspot 'yang mga lugar na 'yan pagdating sa drug trafficking.

Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May), Mexico and the US

This holiday is also called in Puebla, Mexico as El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (The Day of the Battle of Puebla). Being traced back to the French occupation of Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is a commemoration of Mexico's unexpected victory over the French during the Battle of Puebla in 1862. In the US, Cinco de Mayo is the day of Mexican heritage and pride and pays tribute to the freedom fought for in the American Civil War.

San Agustín, Colombia

There is either power or indulgent gentleness in the faces of these awash-with-occult freestanding Pre-Columbian figures in San Agustín in Colombia. Said to be sculpted by an unknown culture (some even believe they are figures from somewhere cosmic), these zoomorphic and anthropomorphic statues are on UNESCO's World Heritage List:

Where is San Agustín, Colombia located? Interactive map here.

Utah, USA

I haven't been to Utah and if I ever visit it, I'll definitely see this spiral jetty (BTW, a jetty is an earthwork sculpture jutting from the water). American artist Robert Smithson, famous for his earthworks, built this jetty in 1970 for only about 9 grand using basalt and salt crystals:

Hehehe. Indeed. Going to US is like going to hell. At SIN airport, you have to go 3 interviews with 3 police officers lining up at the preboarding area.

At FRA, I need to go to a room and went nude there, well, literally . The polite German officers are telling that its US requirements.


But behold at LIMA airport, wala akong nakitang tao ni isa , 2 airlines employees only checking the passports and boarding pass .

Sa Jorge Chávez International Airport nga sa Lima ay nung nalamang Pinoy ako ay biglang sumigaw pa ng "Mabuhay!" 'yung immigration officer sabay tatak sa passport.

Presenting the beautiful island of Antigua. Sometimes, I wish na meron akong yacht and just simply spend the day sailing to uncharted territories, just me and my dog perhaps, lolz!

As you can see, this island paradise has so many beautiful beaches and a natural harbor, a perfect film location. I heard, some parts of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise were filmed in Antigua...

Mahilig pa rin bang managa 'yung mga taksi drayber sa Antigua? Grabe sila riyan. Nabalitaan mo ba 'yung ilang turista na binugbog dahil nagkaroon ng argumento kung magkano ang ibabayad sa taksi? Tsk.
