Yung nagpaalam ka na mag SM lang!
Pero parang ibang SM ata napuntahan ko🤣

POV : SM Xiamen, China 🇨🇳

Did not expect na ang laki pala ng SM nila dito sa Xiamen na hindi masyadong nalalayo sa SM Mall of Asia sa laki. This SM launched way back 2001 and this is the FIRST SM Mall outside Philippines! Good thing that this mall has continues development dahil since 2001 meron na itong 3 phases na building and currently ginagawa na ang phase 4. Kaya kung pupunta kayo dito sa Xiamen, why not visit this mall, meron din pala silang Robinson dito nadaanan namin on out way sa next location.

Another Tipid tips when traveling!

Bakit nga ba di kami kumukuha ng Pocket Wifi when traveling?!

It's because I have my Android phone too which is my Honor 70 5g. HONOR HONOR Philippines check mo rin yung phone mo baka may ganitong features!

Story Time :
When traveling its is a must na meron kang internet and if you will book a Pocket wifi mas mahal sya compared sa Physical Sim or eSim. Ito pa, napaka hassle din ipick up at idrop off ito sa mga Airports, pupuntahan mo pa at kailangan mo malaman ang operating hours ng kiosk nila. Worst yung iba nakakalimutan nang ibalik.

But, since I got my Honor 70 phone almost 4 yrs back, it has a feature which I truly loved and gamit na gamit ko talaga especially when travelling.

Ito ay ang HOTSPOT! Yes! mukha syang simple at common pakinggan but it has a feature that other phones dont have kahit ng iPhone 17 Pro Max ko wala nito.

This Honor 70 phone has the regular hotspot that you can Use while the Data/Signal is ON. It is also 5g capable kaya talagang malakas sya sumagap ng signal.

Ito na ang best part, when we travel minsan mahina ang mga WiFi Signals ng mga Hotels or establishments kaya ang ginagawa ko sa Honor Phone ko ay ginagawa kong sort of Router.

Yes, itong phone can pick up a WiFi Signal while hotspot is ON. Meaning I can put my phone sa malapit sa pinto or bintana where WiFi signal is strong then iHotspot ko pa sya para lumakas ang wifi sa loob ng room ko. Diba ang galing!

Ito pa meron akong instance na yung hotel has a limited slots for devices connected per room. So What I did I only connected my Honor Phone sa Wifi nila so considered sya as 1 device then I connected all my devices 4 phones and 1 iPad sa Honor ko. Yes! I have all my devices working all at same time! 😊

Kaya tignan mo na ang android device mo if may ganitong feature din! para Physical Sim nalang bibilhin monif your phone is not eSim capable. 🙂

📍Mandarin Oriental Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼

₱18,600 per night with breakfast for 2 pax.

Planning a trip to Taipei, Taiwan? I highly recommend this hotel! It's conveniently located near a bus station and just a 5-minute ride to the train station or Uber. There’s a 7/11 and other convenience stores nearby, plus ATMs. If you get hungry, there are plenty of restaurants and shops around. Don’t forget, they offer a delicious breakfast buffet, which we booked!

Upon check-in, we were welcomed with delicious tea and hot towels. The check-in process was quick and they even accommodated us with early check-in! Our room was spacious, impeccably clean and smelled amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the size with a separate bathroom and a powder room for luggage and clothes. There's also a large mirror and a full-length mirror plus a working desk that we used as a dining table. A cozy couch was perfect for relaxing after a day out. The bathroom is almost as big as a bedroom, making getting ready for your adventures a joy!

The amenities are fantastic - there's a spa, gym and heated pool! I loved swimming and they even served ginger tea and hot towels by the pool. The staff are incredibly friendly, always ready for a chat.

Maganda syang puntahan sa kahit na anong season dahil sa breathtaking views nito, napaka majestic ng lugar na ito kasi yung mga puno during fall at winter para kang nasa loob ng pelikula ito ay ang,

📍Mt. Hallasan, Jeju Island, South Korea 🇰🇷

Sa totoo lang we are not expecting na may snow during our visit. So prior getting to the mountain nakita namin ang mountain na ito from afar na malapit sa hotel namin kaya we booked agad a day tour sa Agoda App para atleast maranasan naman namin ang snow sa Jeju!

Guys! I highly recommended ito sa mga chill vibes tour and optional senyo kung aakyat din kau sa peak ng bundok kasi kami di na kami umakyat dahil sa lamig pero 95% ng kasama sa tour namin umakyat sila lahat with all ages! This is a 45 mins. hike papunta sa bunganga ng bundok na para bang Mt. Pinatubo natin. However, nababalutan ito ng snow kaya mahirap madulas along the way. May mga nakilala tayong mga pinoy sa tour and sinabi nilang worth it ang view sa taas. Kaya if hiker kayo, maning mani senyo ito at makikita nyo pa ang Jeju Island 360 degrees!

Para naman sa ayaw mag hike, meron silang Museum na libre mong mapupuntahan para sa history ng Jeju Island at ng Mt. Hallasan. Maeenjoy din ng mga bata ito kasi merong interactive display and games, syempre pwede na rin ang mga matatanda sumabay😘

Isa sa pinaka aesthetic na cafe dito sa Jeju, grabe napaka picture worthy tlaga sya, kaya wag nyo ito palagpasin na puntahan ito ay ang,

📍Cafe Comma, Jeju Island, South Korea 🇰🇷
Address : 359 Hallim-ro, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea

If you are on the first floor ang sarap panoorin yung hampas ng alon ng dagat na minsan umaabot ng salamin kung saan ka nakaupo, don't worry di ka naman mababasa. When we got here umupo kami sa first floor at ang gandang ng dagat at ng panahon. Napaka blue ng sky at Turquoise ang dagat!

If you want naman overlooking ng dagat you might want to experience yung second floor kasi mas wide ang view mo at may outdoor din para sa masarap na simoy ng hangin. Nung time namin sobrang lakas ng hangin kaya bumalik kami sa loob. Ok din ang presyohan nila hindi namn mahal pero masarap din talaga ang mga drinks at pastries nila. Di ko na rin pinicturan yung buong lugar kasi may mga Korean Militaries na naka uniform na magkakape din at kakain din sila kaya, pakiramdam ko mga bagong graduate sila kasi parang ang babata pa nila or baka students sila pero naka camouflage. Di ko rin sure😂 Oh basta bisitahin nyo ito 35mins away lang from the city and makakapunta pa kayo sa beach na may rock formations at windmills ❤️
