Prague in winter is a city straight out of a fairy tale, with its cobbled streets dusted in snow and gothic spires piercing the cold sky. As someone who has lived in the tropical warmth of the Philippines and the humid buzz of Vietnam, experiencing Europe in the depths of […]

This Astoria Palawan blog review first appeared on my column Down South on Interaksyon.com. I included more photos here to give justice to the beauty of this place.
