It's the 22nd Season already of Global Village. Started last November 1, 2017 and will soon close again this upcoming April 7, 2018. To those who are not familiar with the Global Village, it is one of the tourist destination that Dubai offers during the winter season. It  is considered as the leading seasonal cultural extravaganza in the region that offers visitors an amazing array of festivals, shopping & entertainment. There are still few more days before this season ends, so here's a blog on how to go to Global Village via commute or the public transportation.

It is again the surfing break season in our province in the Philippines. I've been absent for 3 consecutive years already. I miss the waves and party at the seashore with some circle of friends.  Anyways, aside from being dubbed as the " Surfing Capital of Northern Philippines ", La Union is also a place to dine in.
