Not many people may know about Clark But when it comes to the City of Angels next to him Maybe anyone who has been in the Philippines for a while should know this to some extent. Here is the Philippines’ famous bar pedestrian street + red light district As for Clark, which was once a military base for the US military, Evacuated after the massive eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 (I heard that surrounding countries can feel or be affected) This area was silent for a while. Most of the buildings here look like they were built a long time ago. Until recently, many casinos appeared and seemed to have regained their vitality. This also brought me into contact with this city, Because of its location on the mountain, it is full of various outdoor activities. You can play ATV here and climb mountains to see the crater. You can also learn to ride horses and fly light aircraft here There are so many novel experiences worth trying This experience is also very special, it is a half-day tour At the beginning, you need to pay the fee to change clothes at the registration office (minimum 5 people for a group tour, 3,000 P per person) After changing your clothes, you will be taken on a jeep to take you flying through the mountains and forests. Water splashes on you from time to time, and when you reach a beautiful spot, you will stop to take pictures. After about an hour of trekking through mountains and rivers, you will finally arrive at a hot spring located deep in the mountains. There are up to 10 different hot springs or cold springs, large and small. There will never be a problem of too many people feeling crowded, we just want you to Looking at the valley in front of you, relax in the hot springs and chat with friends. After it's over, we'll take you to the next stop This stop is the Volcano SPA because it is right under the volcano. So with abundant natural resources, they will bury you in the sand The staff said that this is volcanic sand that can strengthen your body. And smeared volcanic mud on the face, saying it can beautify the skin. It's just a little hot, but otherwise very comfortable😌 Back at the reception, the merchant has prepared the included food (Filipino cuisine) There are roast chicken, vegetables and soup, simple but delicious If you come to play, you can sign up to experience it. The cost is 3,000 pesos per person, for a group of 5 people But if there really aren’t so many people playing together It's the same, but you have to pay the same fee for 5 people. #philippines #hot springs #familytravel

When in South Korea, visiting one of their many #aesthetic cafés is a must. Not only do you get to caffeinate yourself, you also get to enjoy their distinctive interiors—and snap photos for Instagram, if you prefer! If you're looking for a similar experience locally, you'll want to put Moon Cafe on your must-visit list. This soon-to-open spot in Angeles City, Pampanga will transport you right to the Land of the Morning Calm with its elegant yet minimalist-cool look. Moon Cafe is owned by Carl Tolentino and partner Anna Marie Lacson, who both work in cabin crew and share that their jobs were severely affected due to the pandemic. "We realized that we shouldn't just stick with one source of income," Tolentino shares in an interview with SPOT.ph. "Even before the pandemic happened we [were] already thinking of a business related to customer service, which we're passionate about. Everytime we would plan what business we [would] put up, we [would] always do it in coffee shops. Because of that, we thought, why not just put up our own coffee shop since we visit [them] often?" Looking to offer something new in Angeles City, the pair came up with Moon Cafe, for which they picked a "clean and minimalist design" similar to the cafés in South Korea. Tolentino and Lacson extend the Korean theme right down to the details, even playing K-Drama soundtracks in the background to complete the experience. As far as food goes, you can expect Moon Cafe to offer specialty and pour over coffee, light meals like pasta (Tolentino hints at a Salted Egg Pasta that he calls his "personal favorite") and sandwiches, and pastries like croissants, pies, and Levain-style cookies.

For the baby boomers born in the late 40’s & 50’s, the outdoor, pioneering, romantic spirit of the cowboy west lies just beneath the surface of their being. Television fare in those early years – devoid of computers, cell phone and Internet games – was unabashedly western. Who among them had not spent countless stare bound hours watching gun smoke, Bonanza, Hopalong Cassidy, the Lone Ranger, Wagon train, Rawhide, Have gun Will travel, Bat Masterson and countless more? No self-respecting kid of those days could be without his trusty six-shooters, cowboy hat, vest, chaps and boots ready for the next game of cowboys and Indians. TV westerns were an audience favorite and thus began our romance with all things cowboy. #bestislandtraveltowns#café#romanticrestaurant#naturalwonders#culturalattractions

Pampanga Province in the Philippines is like a bright pearl in the middle of Luzon Island, exuding a unique and charming light. With a deep historical heritage, Spanish colonial relics are scattered throughout the province. The ancient churches, such as the Holy Rosary Church in Angeles City, have mottled stone walls and towering spires, blending Gothic and Baroque styles. They stand quietly, telling the stories of the past and witnessing the process of faith taking root and cultural integration over hundreds of years. Every brick and tile is sealed with a story. In terms of economy, Pampanga is full of vitality. It was once the site of a US military base. Although time has passed, the remaining facilities have spawned new industries. High-tech companies in aerospace, electronic information, and other fields have come one after another, taking advantage of the basic advantages to develop vigorously. The food is also not to be underestimated. "Sisig" is a must-try. Grilled pig face meat, chicken liver, and other ingredients are mixed with special spices and sizzle on the iron plate, giving off a charred aroma. Paired with hot rice, it is a delicious treat for the taste buds. During festivals, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and the float parades and song and dance performances are lively. People gather with laughter, showing the enthusiasm and charm of Pampanga.

Pampanga, Philippines, is like a unique pearl embedded in the central plains of Luzon Island, shining brightly and full of charm. The rich history is the most profound background of Pampanga, with ancient churches from the Spanish colonial period scattered all over. The San Agustin Church stands solemnly, its stone walls weathered by time, with mottled marks telling the stories of past missionaries. The Gothic spire points to the sky, and the exquisite murals and carved altars inside carry the heritage of religious art, like silent narrators of history. In modern life, Pampanga is full of vitality. The fertile land nurtures flourishing agriculture, with rice fields resembling golden carpets under the sun, sugarcane fields rustling, and abundant fruits and vegetables all year round. It is an important "vegetable basket" of the Philippines, with markets piled high with brightly colored produce, and the sounds of vendors and customers bargaining filling the air. During lively festivals, streets and alleys are decorated with lights, people wear traditional costumes, dance to lively folk music, and participate in grand parades and music carnivals, showcasing the unique regional culture and the charm of Pampanga.
