with some friends on a DIY tour of what else but manila, my manila. ;-P
Interesting Q&A. Don't you want to visit exotic places like Tibet, Maldives and African countries for instance? If I have the time, I like taking the boat because it "forces" me to really relax, enjoy the sea breeze, the magnificent sunrise and sunset, the vast ocean and finish a book or two.
