Philippines Stamps
Philippines Tourism
The jet seemed to be bouncing off of the clouds at this point in my flight. The turbulence was business as usual for those used to the flight from Tokyo-Narita to Manila International. With that said, most of the passengers seemed to be either gripping there seat handles tightly or saying a silent prayer that they landed safely. I was not nervous, for two reasons. The first was because I have done this flight a thousand times. The second was because this bouncing was nothing compared to what kind of bouncing lay ahead in Boni9faco Global City.
Hong Kong Probably bounces at a rate of three on a scale of one through ten. I'll give Tokyo a five, and Bangkok gets an easy seven. This flight and those three cities couldn't imagine the type of bouncing that goes on in a dance club in Bonifacio Global City, and although the flight made most grimmace, the foreknowledge of my evening made me smile!
Within an hour of landing in Manila International airport, my passport was stamped, my bagge collected, and I was in a taxi cab heading for Bonifacio. Philippine tourism has dramatically changed since I was a small child. I used to look forward to the white sand beaches, the swaying palm trees, and the cool tropical breeze of the South Pacific.
Now I look forward to the clubbing and night life capitol of Southeast Asia. The towering super clubs, the five star restaurants, and the world class luxury hotel suites. I know that by nine O'clock I will be on the dance floor getting jiggly in ways that Las Vegas, Miami, Atlantic City, and Bangkok could only dream of.
Welcome to the high life. Welcome to the new Philippines Tourism.
About the Author
My name is Matthew Gwapito and I am a man of divided interest. Half of my time is spent in San Francisco, the other half in the Philippines. While often distant from the place I call home, my heart, and hence my writing, is always reminicing of days in the south pacific where life was much more simple, beautiful, and rewarding.
Working abroad is as necasary for me as it is for others, but nearly everything I do, think, or write is one more mental step closer to the Philippines.
Between Philippines Tourism & Manila Nightlife, I am surprised I have time to write at all!
