  • Flight to Beyond the Equator Booked

    Travel Journal from Canada Toronto, Canada | Sat Feb 11, 2012 | Views: 31

It may sound long but it's way better than the four-stopover and 27+ hours journey.  (Surprisingly enough, the most expensive flight option was a 32+ hour trip, which gives new meaning to cabin fever.) With my flight in place, my Kaya down payment gone …

    At school this morning we helped the children learn to produce the letters of the alphabet followed by all the vowel sounds e.g. ma, me, mi, mo and mu, which was brilliant in helping me learn Spanish  sounds. The children then had to work through their booklets, practicing writing the number seis and making it out of different sensory materials such as felts. After school we made plans to meet up …

    Advice and Tips for the Philippines

    Topic Money in the Philippines

    Started by kayaadvisor, 0 Reply

    To all those travelling to the Philippines let me just tell you that as soon as possible change one of your P500 or P1000 notes and get some 20, 50 and 100 Peso notes. Try and do this before you get a taxi for example because many taxi drivers will say they do not have change and you will end up paying far too much for your taxi ride. Also, when travelling by taxi always use a metre taxi and make sure that they switch it on so you don't get ripped off!
