Paying with your credit card through Paypal

0 comments
I have an online travel agency and though I prefer to be paid in cash, there are a lot of clients who wants to pay using their credit card. It's too risky to be accepting credit card payments through bank terminals due to rampant fraudulent transactions so Paypal for me is the best and secure way.

Signing Up

It is very easy to sign up. Just go to Paypal's website. Choose any of the 3 category. As for us, business account of course.


The next page after will ask for your information so kindly fill it up accordingly, and the very important thing you should be mindful of is linking your credit card.

0 comments
I was again invited to visit the second TTM Travel Mart this September at Dusit Thani Manila. The biggest B2B Event in The Philippines. The TTM B2B Event 2013 is expected to be the largest gathering of leading tour operators, resorts, hotels, attractions and travel agencies and other related businesses all over the world  with the support of Malaysian Tourism Board, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Sabah Tourism Board, Singapore Tourism Board , Hong Kong Tourism Board and  our airlines partners.

The event is a must-to-attend for all tourism industry professionals to increase their business networks  and to be adept with hottest and most-in-demand holiday destinations around the world.

I am very much looking forward to this event. Last year, I was able to find a reliable and very kind tour operator in Bali, Indonesia. I sure hope I get to meet direct tour operators in other destinations this time.

Revisiting Hong Kong: Hung Moon Tea Restaurant and Cha Chaan Teng

0 comments
I had the chance to come back to Hong Kong for a 4 days stay last July 11. Of course, we again booked our flights many months ahead. Because of that, we got our roundtrip ticket more or less Php 3,500 only. Thanks to Cebu Pacific deals. 


We were blessed with clear skies, and it was 32-35 degrees hot summer in HKG. Yikes! 

Since I have my own travel agency, I just decided to get a package rather than my usual DIY trips. We were picked up and dropped to our hotel. And we had the whole bus for the 4 of us only. 


Checking in at our hotel, the Bridal Tea house in Kai Tak was a breeze. 


When I first went to HKG, I was so hesitant to try their local food. On my second visit, I promised myself to really push an experience at one Cha chaan teng. A trip to Hong Kong is not complete without eating at Cha Chaan Teng. I checked openrice.com and found one. So upon arriving and settling our things in the hotel, we immediately looked for the restaurant. After going back and forth at Pak Tai Street and checking if the chinese characters are similar, we found what I'm looking for - Hung Moon Tea Restaurant.


Still, much to our surprise, nobody is able to converse in English. And to make it harder, the menu is all pure Chinese with not one picture in it. Good thing, teen Hongkongers were there and offered their translating services. 


3 teens helped us in ordering. We got milk teas, spicy chicken and a noodle dish we immediately liked. It was a superb experience. 


The 2 dish is already ample for us 4 and we only paid a total of HKD 78. Cheap!


Cha Chaan Teng means a tea canteen and is a place to have a quick bite at an affordable price. It's like a hawkers in Singapore.

So next time you visit Hong Kong - do what the locals do. Be a traveler not a tourist. It's one of a kind experience. Especially, when we were all dumbfounded when none of the staffs are able to speak in English and when we were rescued by those teenagers. It's something I would always cherish and it makes a good storytelling whenever you share your travel experiences.

First Day in Bali | Jimbaran Beach Dinner


Jimbaran is a small town located about two miles south of the Bali airport. 

The airport is very close by, we can actually see aircrafts in landing position. There was even an aircraft (Lion Air) that missed the runway and instead fell off to sea. Scary. Good thing we had a smooth landing via Air Asia.



The beach lining Jimbaran Bay is one of the best in Bali, its fine white sand an absolute pleasure to walk on. The beach's location makes it an obvious epilogue to any visit to the kecak performances at the clifftop temple.

About forty to fifty seafood restaurants of varying price and quality line the shore. Our partner tour operator chose Furama for our dinner.




The dining scene in the town of Jimbaran in Bali is nothing like the fancy restaurant crowd you'll find closer to Kuta or Ubud. Instead of sitting in intimately-lit dining spaces, you'll sit on tables set right on the sand, out in the open, next to the sea.



Your dinner will be simple yet very Balinese: seafood, marinated and spiced according to the island's culinary traditions, and grilled over burning coconut husks. You'll dine in the midst of one of Bali's most romantic dining settings: sitting on the beach with the sound of the murmuring surf in the air, your meal illuminated by candles and the moonlight, penjor waving in the wind.



There were a lot of seafood restaurants in Jimbaran Beach, all of them with the same setting of arranging dinner tables facing the beach where sun sets every evening



We were served

- Welcome Drink
- Balinese Peanut
- Fish Soup
- Grilled Fish 350 gr
- Grilled Prawn 2 pcs
- Grilled Clams 2 pcs
- Squid Calamari 200 gr
- Grilled Crab 250 gr
- Steamed white Rice
- Kangkung Vegetables
- Special Sauce Bumbu Bali
- Slice Tropical Fruits
- One Bottle of Mineral Water

Dotonbori

0 comments

A town with a canal loved by the locals. Masses of neon lights and the atmosphere of the 17th century coexist in the area.



Dotonbori is a large scale downtown along the south bank of the Dotonbori-gawa Canal. Osaka is known as the gastronomists' town, and thus the entire area of Dotonbori is thronged with an unbelievable number of restaurants and amusement facilities, and is dearly loved by the Osakaites. 

Dotonbori is often selected as a scene in the Japanese and foreign movies as the symbol of Osaka. They have recently built flowerbeds and fountains on both sides of the Dotonbori-gawa Canal to offer better environment for a downtown, which are always attracting visitors and residents. On both sides of the Dotonbori-gawa Canal are lined with advertisements and neon signs. The entire sides of buildings are decorated with neon lamps. The illuminated signboards and neon lamps reflect on the Dotonbori-gawa Canal at night, making Dotonbori even merrier.

Brief Day Tour in Osaka

Our group of I think 30 or so traveled 18 hours via Panstar Ferry from Busan port to have a very quick 4 hour running tour in Osaka before the ferry leaves back to Busan. Huwatt!! IKR! It was that quick.


Nonetheless, I got my feet in the land of the rising sun.


Our first stop, Osaka Castle.


There was an ongoing wedding ceremony. 


And some kind of a field trip. 



We went inside to take a look of the museum. And I found this. Whoah! Kenshin Himura!



Cute little things!


And cute little kid!


Too bad I didn't have Yen with me. Forgot to have my money changed when I was in Seoul. I could've bought some souvenirs from the Museum shop. 


After probably an hour, we were ushered back to our tourist bus to have our bento lunch on our way to Dotonbori. 



We were also given just 30 minutes to walk around Dotonbori and to shop at Shinsaibashi. Shop in 30 minutes?!


Won't work for me. So I just walked around the area and took pictures. 


There was a sale going on and it was torture. I didn't want to use my credit card so probably shop next time. Haha. 


Walked back to the bus with our Busan tour guide, Julie.
