Travel NOTES: Unpublished Photographs from my "cheap" P and S camera. These Photographs were taken during long holiday vacation - on third week of December up to the second week of January. Li'l bit personal but part of my 7107islands journey.

"UNA" is the first car in the world manufactured using indigenous materials exclusive to Cebu patterned from the 1959 Porche 356. Designed and manufactured by Clayton Tugonon, the exterior is purely made from coconut flower's stalk and rattan stripes. The dashboard comes from a blend of two-toned shells while the steering wheels and the knob are made from Shagreen. It was one of the highlights @ the 2011 famous exhibit in Manila to showcase what Cebu can do.- NORTHWING SM City Cebu

I have been in Cebu last year. It's not that different from Metro Manila. I stayed at Crowne Regency and spent a few days roaming around the city. I love lechon cebu. I remember we waited in a long line in SM to buy lechon. We were able to buy but they don't have rice anymore. I think they call their rice "puso".
ReplyDeletepuso' nga Kc jejeje, the best lechon in Cebu is in Carcar and tabunok(for me)been staying here for almost 3 years and feels like it's my home:)
