Yung gusto ko dun yung Teal na '76 Celica!
Since Toyota naman sila, they managed to find parts to restore it

There isn't much to do din in Nagoya though, but it's a good base jump off point to visit Nagano (Matsumoto "Black Crow" Castle) and Shirakawa go in Gifu. Yung Meitetsu Bus company goes to all these destinations on the cheap!

Was supposed to do 2 marathons in Putrajaya and Jakarta this year sana because they're close by, and in normal circumstances, cheap.
Tipong fly in the day before, collect race kit at the expo, run the full mary, then fly home late evening or early morning (weekender lang).

Yun nga lang, the airfares are RIDICULOUS, kahit sa mga low cost carriers. Malaysia and Indonesia lang yun, pero presyong Manila to Australia na, so pass ako.
I just don't want to pay that much for these destinations lang. Matapos na sana itong gyera na ito.

Yung Sydney Marathon naman, naging world marathon major lang sila, andami nang arte & ang mahal na rin. To think boring as hell yung route nila (yung dati ha), where you have to double back so many times, sheesh!

Oh, by the way, you might find Lisbon boring though...

Hehe baka imposible na nga talaga for the rest of the year. Kahit may mga seat sales pa online, mataas naman ang fuel surcharges. Tapos yung sinasabing hantavirus daw baka kumalat pa so needless to say, mas naging risky at costly ang lahat.

About Lisbon, I'm sure charming eto kasi coastal plus merong rivers/creeks at mga magagandang tulay compared to say sa Madrid na medyo tame ang dating o vibe kasi wala gano nun. Besides, usually prefer at trip namin mga pagsasakay sa tren, mahahabang stroll, window shopping at kain ng turo-turo o sa mga restaurant plus tambay then picture picture sa mga magagandang spots. Optional ang pagpasok at silip sa loob ng mga churches, museums o ibang attractions kung meron dun sa area kasi may mga entrance fee pa yung iilan. Immersion lang kumbaga, since may mobile phones, internet at google naman na kaya napadali rin ang mag-DIY.

Pag iba ata medyo maarte pa eh; mga gusto pumunta sa mga theme parks kung meron man eh time consuming pag mahaba ang pila o balak lang mag-attend ng mga specific events like concerts o racing. Kaya yung iba na first time mag-fly out internationally at nakita na dahil sa latter ang reasoning, binubusisi agad ng mga IO sa airport. Pero mostly sa mga working people na. Nung nasa college pa ako, never ko na-experience yung maraming tinatanong sa local immigration since lagi din kaming magkakasama. Personal na pinaka-ayoko yan tuwing umaalis sa bansa.
