Embarcadero in Legazpi, Albay

"Emba" - this is a shortened term for a Embassy Bar, posh bar partly owned by Tim Yap at the Fort (now it's already called Encore). There's also one in Legazpi, Albay but it's short for Embarcadero. The place is at the port and there are lots of restaurants and showbands perform there every night. Karla and I were there almost every night when we were in Legazpi because it's just a jeepney away from where we stayed. There is also a free jeepney that goes around the area.

It's a nice place to go especially at night because of the light house changes its lights.

Mayon Volcano in Albay

I was in Legazpi, Albay and was so excited to see the majestic Mount Mayon in person! The best spot to take a photo of Mayon is in Lignon Hill.

Architectural Structures in Melbourne

What I have noticed in Melbourne is that their architectural structures are really enormous and very artistic. Their styles are a mixture of Gothic and modern architecture. I can't help but be enamored by the beautiful structures I was seeing.

Penguins at the Melbourne Aquarium

Penguins are such lovely creatures. In reality, they look like toys. They walk really cute and swim really fast.

Animals in Melbourne Zoo

I wouldn't pass being in Australia without seeing a real Kangaroo and Koala! So, I went to the Melbourne Zoo. Aside from kangaroos and koalas, I also saw other animals such as zebras, lions, giraffes, and many more.
