i enjoy this series. sana tuloy tuloy ito.
glad to have with these two amazing bloggers! woohoo!
gel, resign ka na! joke. hehe
Wow! I just learned yesterday from an officemate na may train trip from Manila to Albay. Ito ang longest train trip ni Angel. I'm planning to do this din.
i like the contrast...angel's records are more on international destination while james have the local destination =)
Coool! I love the idea of Angel going around the country on a bike-- reminds me of Ewan McGregor in the long way home... *swooooon*
And good luck with James' 100 day challenge! That will be so much fun! :D
>ivan, yes. malupit din tong dalawa sa byahe. na-itama na yung blog ni angel. salamat!
>photo cache, thanks! yes tuloy na tuloy to. featuring two el encuentro posts per month.

>rizalenio, masaya nga yan pero ang alam ko wala ulit yung byaheng bicol.
>je, ayos nga yung contrast.

I'm really curious to read about James' international travels someday! And I'd love to meet Angel when we're back in Pinas :)
i'm dead kung mawawala passport ko, pocket money and camera on a trip!
So sweet of you to promote your friends' blogs. Will check them out. Hope you have a great time in China. Easy to navigate around especially in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou with the metro trains, no need to have language barrier cause everything written and explained in English in the trains stations and they bring you to most of the tourist areas with maps to direct you to the correct exit. But need to arm yourself with the English Version map as you walk around if you dont understand or speak mandarin.
ang galing ng pictures nila james at angel - parehong mkuhang bagong gising. hehe
nakakabaliw mawalan ng passport, camera at pera! ibang level talaga si james.
Adventurers!
