Here in the Philippines, a good percentage of people, if one were to ask them of their dream vacation destination, would answer one of the states in the North America, or one of the popular countries in the European part of the globe. It’s almost always somewhere in the Americas though, in my observation.

Some countries around Asia are worth visiting, too, but it’s accessible to most people here AFAIK since we’re part of the continent. There are a handful of interesting countries in South East Asia as it is. So not many people make a big deal out of it.. This goes to the ones with less stricter to no visa requirements prior to entering the country, anyway.

As for me, at the moment I cannot go as far as beyond visa-free countries around Asia.. boohoo. But, it’s free to dream and make-believe for a moment that anything is possible, so for the entirety of this post.. allow me to lay out my plans here if I were to go to the land of milk and honey. *eyes begin to glisten as I begin typing this entire post*

PS: I may possibly go over the board and write unrealistic stuff. My apologies in advance, this is a fantasy vacation trip after all. Haha.

Whenever I get the opportunity to travel outside the country, I always make it a point to hit up the local mall or shopping district and check out the shops that the Philippines does not have.

It may be a little shallow (or maybe it’s just me?) because you’re given the opportunity to go to another country.. right there, just waiting to be explored. There’s a new culture for you to experience as well, new people to meet, connect, share stories with.. and you only have a few days to get to it — and the first thing you think of had to be shopping?

Over the years, the internet has provided us easier ways to accomplish tasks we normally do “offline” such as paying the bills, depositing money in the bank; shopping at your favorite shops through their websites; and my favorite would be shopping during sale season because I don’t have to rummage both w/ and against the crowd and I can get the best deals from the comfort of my room.

At the end of the day, when I want to unwind after a long busy day, perhaps try my luck at a casino see if lady luck is still there and help me win a little money on the side? For shopping, silly! Lol. There are two things I could do, though, to get on with this.. either I could play online, OR dress up and head to the nearest hotel and casino in my neighborhood. The first option presents a lot of conveniences compared to the second option, though. First convenience is that I definitely can do all the playing from the comfort of my room, and I can just be in my normal lazy clothes outfit. Who has the time to dress up to the nines these days? We’re all lazy here. Haha!
