Things to Do in Prague: Watch Don Giovanni at The Estates Theatre
12:07 PM
Watch a 3 hour long classical opera without falling asleep.
This was one of my life long goals and my trip to Prague posed to be a good opportunity to seize. I remember one of the most wonderful evenings in Vienna in 2008 where I went to watch a classical concert on my own.
We passed in front of The Estates Theatre formerly known as Teatro di Praga during a free walking tour and I remember the excitement when I came back here to buy tickets.

Do you know that you can convert your existing Driver's License abroad for less than Php 650? Yes it is possible and you can get your brand new Non-professional driver's license ID, hot and fresh, the same day of your application.

3:02 PM
In pursuit of the island life, we took a weekend break from a sad and stressful week, one beautiful sunny Sunday in Coron, Palawan, Philippines to explore Bulog Dos, Banana and Malcapuya, three gems in the Calamianes group of Islands. It was a spontaneous decision to join a group boat tour, the day before the scheduled trip.

A long pause.
34 hours from the time we left home in France, we arrived enervated from the extremely long travel and delays. That was 18 days ago. I couldn't bring myself to connect online since. Partly because reality hit us at the same time humidity welcomed us with its wide embrace in Manila.
This is not only about Travel. It is about our adventures setting up a nest in the Philippines and embracing a lifestyle change and all the other perks in between. If you find yourself going home after years of foreign living and feel like a stranger in your own country, you are not alone. There is always joy and beauty in the unexpected.
