Breath of fresh air

Dauin was a breath of fresh air, literally!  Our flight out of Manila to Dumaguete was a short 1h45m, and we arrived in the dark of night.  Straight away we liked the island vibe, especially because there were no traffic lights or taxis and there were traffic conductors at many of the intersections waving their… Read More Breath of fresh air
