Just the musing of a writer and traveler
I think the world would be such a nicer place if we could all just start doing the Papaya Dance. This dance was first popularized in a game show hosted by my personal hero, Mr Liveraid Coffeemate himself, Edu Manzano. It’s just a funky little dance that just about anyone can do. It’s hilarious to watch and even more fun to do.
Here is a really nice video that follows an elderly woman as she make her way across the border in Laredo, Texas and gets on a bus in Nuevo Laredo heading further south in Mexico. It really goes to show that you are never too old for adventure travel and is exactly the kind of fun you can have at any age.
I love visiting the San Diego/Tijuana. San Diego is a vibrant city to visit and has so many things to do. I love the great shopping, amusement parks, and even the beaches. I love their downtown area and the trolley sure makes transportation very easy, but one of the big bonuses is that Tijuana is just right across the border in Mexico.
I haven’t written any travel tales or information articles in a while, but since it is Sinulog time in Cebu, The Philippines. I thought I would bring it up. Sinulog is a celebration of the famous Santo Nino which is supposedly an image of the Jesus as a baby or something like that. I assume it is a pretty important festival and celebration and most of all it is a very serious festival.
This is a really funny but well made video featuring Manoj, the number 1 telemarketer in India. It is done in a documentary style, but it obviously has to be fake because it is so damn funny, but who really knows? I have never been to India so I do not know if they hold their telemarketers in such high esteem or not?
I came across this You-Tube video that shows a nice tour around Cebu City taking in many sites and sounds. You can see so many of the beautiful sites that Cebu City, The Philippines is so rightly famous for. It’s an opportunity to see parts of Cebu that you don’t normally have a chance to see.

Baguio City is in the northern part of the Philippine island of Luzon. It sites high up in the mountains and served as a R&R retreat for US soldiers and US government workers during the US colonial period in the Philippines. The air is cool and fresh in Baguio with the tall pines trees nearby. It surely is a rest from crowdy, humid, muggy and polluted Manila.
