Around Dumaguete
Dumaguete has to be one of the most comfortable places to live in the
Philippines for the expat. It is a well organized, clean college town
with a low cost of living.
One of the nicest features of this city is the walkway alongside the
seawall where food vendors set up tables and chairs every night and
cook fresh food.

A quick look at Siquijor Island |
A quick look at Siquijor Island
Siquijor is a laid back mellow island with a strong Catholic Spanish
influence and a reputation for witchcraft. My theory is that the
Spanish started that rumor to keep outsiders away.
It is not a rugged island and is fairly easy to get around if you rent a motorcycle or driver.

College Mardi Gras Parade |
Dumaguete College Parade
Dumaguete is a vibrant university town with a lot of color and
character. I just happened to arrive the day the college students were
putting on a Mardi Gras style parade down main street.
These students were having a good time in their glittering costumes, putting on a show for the crowd.
