Salut!!
Since I was a child, summer time has always been the best season for me. During those times, my only problem was where I will spend my summer break. Now that I am a college student, I want to be more objective in picking the place where I’ll spend my summer vacation since we only have one month. If I will be given a chance to go back to a place I’ve already been to, I will weigh my options very well. Summer season is a hot season so I prefer to engage in water sports or sightseeing in cold places. After the process of elimination, I ended up with Boracay and Bicol. Now the question is, “Which is better?”.
Boracay is known for its white sand beach and the activities you can do there. Some examples of which are helmet diving, banana boat, zorb, and of course swimming. Bicol is known for having a lot of tourist destinations like the Mayon Volcano. Hiking, going to the falls, zip lining, nature tripping, and swimming are just some of the examples of the activities you can do in Bicol.
One of the most important things you should consider before going somewhere is its ambiance. How you feel when you’re in a certain place is very important since your mood and trip will be very much affected by this. When I went to Boracay, It feels so light there and relaxing while in Bicol I felt very refreshed and I felt that all my stresses were gone in an instant.
I am a people-person. I love to interact with people. Thus, the crowd in the places I go to is another component. When I went to Boracay during the Holy Week last year, I noticed that there were many foreigners. Not that I don’t like foreigners but I think they are sort of cautious when it comes to interacting with Filipinos. In Bicol, maybe because they have been exposed to the same crowd over and over again, they have been used to interacting with the people around them thus making them very comfortable, friendly, and hospitable to everyone.
Given these circumstances, I would prefer going to Bicol again rather than Boracay. I feel that Bicol is better because of its environment. Even though it is not yet that civilized like Boracay, I think that was the very thing that captured me the most. Eco-friendly and green? That’s Bicol.
That's all for now!
