Then I Came Back to Davao

I was able to set the course that had me returning to Davao after more than 5 years since the last time I've been here and this time... It's all about tourism... so this was a lot more fun...

Davao is such a big place being 6 times bigger than Metro Manila and its surrounded by mountainous terrains owning the tallest mountain in the country, Mt. Apo... It's also a haven of the rare Philippine Eagle and has nice resorts and beaches... I did appreciate the infinity pool view at Pearl farm... and also they have affordable food choices...

It was in the course of plotting my travel blog that I realized that I wasn't able to tour the place the first time I was there and wahlah... Month's after, I've been able to store some scenes in my memory bank that says Davao is one of the places that's worth your travel itinerary...

A Race to the Sky

Shanghai seems to have a race to the sky as the area are just packed by Skyscrapers, with the TV Tower being the tallest tower in Asia and an 88 story Jin Mao Tower, which used to be the tallest building in Shanghai and just this year, the Shanghai World Financial Center, which looks like a can opener and is 101 story building...

And the story does not end there... The Shanghai Tower is under construction and will be dwarfing all this structure with a 128 story building, which would then be the tallest in the world... It just seems amazing that this structures are just stone throw away from each other and all would have a nice view of the lights in the Bund...

Had a chance to come back in Shanghai and it was much different with the buildings racing to the sky... I still did like the view of the TV Tower at night and catching the sunset and the light at the Bund... And then there's still so much development with the city hosting the World Expo... so the race will continue to go on...
