kenken94 · December 22nd, 2010, 10:33 AM

The Government should really use the "WOW Philippines" slogan because our natural Wealth Of Wonders really WOWs tourists!

World 2 World · December 22nd, 2010, 02:58 PM

A good idea indeed

Wealth

Wonders

Where else, WOW Philippines

That was the meaning of the old tourism slogan "WOW Philippines" but for some unknown dumb reason they wanted to scrap it and launch a new one. But thanks to heavy public criticism though, it didn't push through and they went back to the slogan.

Breathtaking Scenic Drives in Asia (Excerpted)
http://unearthingasia.com/enchanting...rives-in-asia/

Although Asia is mostly made up of various sizes of island nations and several dense world capitals, there is a time and place to hire a car and push the pedal to the floor. Here are some of Asia’s greatest drives perfect for those wanting the sense of thrill and freedom only a road-trip can give you. Enjoy the breathtaking scenic drive as you feel the breeze of wind against your sun-tanned face. And don’t forget to check up on our unusual list of road trip songs for your perusal as you enjoy your drive!

The Hai Van Pass – Vietnam

Photo credits - wikipedia.org

The Hai Van Pass, on route 1A between Hue and Hoian, was claimed to be a “deserted ribbon of perfection…one of the best coastal roads in the world.” Hai Van means ocean clouds, and indeed the mountainous valley is often covered with mist. The route has an alternate path, the Hai Van Tunnel, because for many drivers this is one difficult drive so keep this in mind should you want to attempt it yourself! But with the green hillsides, the shimmering ocean, and mountain peaks all within eyesight, this is a very special place indeed.

Osado Skyline Drive – Sado Island, Japan

Photo credits - N-i-b-i

While Sado Island has been refuge to many political rebels over the years, tourists come to Sado for a bit of peace and quiet. With only 70,000 local residents, there is plenty of room to stretch out and relax while enjoying the lush green Osado Mountains, sea cliffs, and tiny little fishing ports. Hiking is quite popular on the island, but don’t miss the 155 miles of coastline roads to explore. The best views can be had from the Osado Skyline Drive, which cuts through the island via the Osado Mountains and Mount Kinpoku, the highest point on the island. Be sure to stop at the scenic point at Hakuundai; don’t forget, the road is closed in winter (Nov-Apr).

The Phuket Northeast Loop – Thailand

Photo credits - Tingting Sullivan

Despite Phuket’s busy atmosphere, there are a few drives that you can take to get away and just watch the countryside roll by. One is the Mission Mills Drive but another popular one is dubbed the Phuket Northeast Loop. It starts at the Heroines Monument and traverses a circle along the east coast of the island. There’s excellent views of Phang-nga Bay and little fishing villages along the way all waiting for you stop for some fresh seafood! Don’t miss the statue of Ganesha (Ganesh), the elephant-headed Hindu god.

Halsema Highway – Philippines

Photo credits - isafrancesca

If you want to reach the highest point in the Philippines’ highway system, then just head for the Halsema Highway, which connects Baguio and Sagada. It is named after an engineer who managed to get the roadway built through the mountains. Besides the great views and endless farms and vegetable patches you’ll see, there’s something far more interesting to catch sight of. It is a funny moment, one of those “only in Asia” sights when you see one for the first time. You see, many of the villages along this route have erected monuments to their main exports: vegetables. That’s right – be sure to stop for a photo opportunity at the potato statue, the carrot statue, etc. Only in Asia…

kenken94 · February 17th, 2011, 12:01 PM

Yes, it is prohibited to bring home those tarsiers that's why you can just get a picture and buy a small tarsier stuff toy. They're really cute when you see them and would just want to cuddle them but again, it's not allowed.
