Bikes are the primary form of transportation in the Netherlands. In fact, bicycles are a symbol of the Netherlands! Everyone here rides them, even little children and the elderly.
Biking in Amsterdam is easy, convenient and fun. I noticed some differences, such as internal locks, the Amsterdam helmet law and the sheer number of people out and about on their bikes!
Transportation in Europe is mostly by train, and the Netherlands is no different. If you want to get anywhere in the country, or around Europe, you better head over to Maastricht Central Station!
On Saturday morning, I woke up and saw a picture of Uluru, a famous rock formation in Australia. I packed my backpack and one hour later, I took the first flight I could get on, to see it in person!
One to two million Filipinos and foreigners flock to Cebu each January to celebrate the festival of Sinulog, which celebrates the Santo Niño de Cebú that includes a huge procession and street parties.
Carabao, or water buffalo, are widespread and useful animals here in the Philippines. Every time I see a Carabao, I can't help but sing "The Water Buffalo Song" by from VeggieTales in my head...!
Samoa has many foods that I have never seen or tried before like palusami and sea worms! I've found all of my experiences with Samoan food to be very interesting and valuable learning experiences.
