There’s a whole lot to cruising as a different travel option than I thought it would be. Friends told me that they don’t usually do this as it is only for the oldies. But after experiencing one, upon the invitation of the Philippines’s fastest growing budget airline, AirPhil Express and cruise leader Star Cruises, I say, I changed my mind.

Both are temples, a Catholic church, and the other a Taoist (Chinese) temple. Both are equally interesting not only in terms of architecture but also the devotions done by their respective faithful.

Star Cruises is known for its huge fleet and holiday cruise travel around the world and for this AdvenTour, Filipinos can taste holiday cruise in Singapore and Malaysia aboard one of its vessels, the Superstar Virgo via AirPhil Express.

In a few days, I’m off to two other international destinations within Southeast Asia: Singapore and Malaysia. This is just after two weeks after visiting Hong Kong for five days!

I wasn’t just prepared to see a queue for branded items outside two of the brand name stores along Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong and I don’t know what to think or how to react.

The Philippine’s newest budget airline AirPhil Express now flies Cebu to Hong Kong everyday, their second international destination after Singapore.

It was my first maiden flight and didnd’t expect that it would be that eventful with speeches, dragon dances, and free breakfast at the departure lobby but I was more excited of flying, of visiting again Hong Kong.

I was invited by AirPhil Express to join them in their maiden flight from Cebu to Hong Kong and stayed for almost a week to explore, photograph and get to know more about this beautiful place south of the Chinese mainland.
