Subic Bay-Part 2
From Part 1.
The car we used to travel from Makati City, Philippines to Subic Bay.
A notice that I found in the male’s toilet of one of the resort in Subic Bay..haha
In my opinion, I think Subic Bay may be a good place for those Scuba Divers. After Lunch, we went around the area of Subic Bay for some sight seeing. Amazingly, there were not much activities around and I kinda of did not feel that this was a tourist place. Me and my friends went to a boring butterfly farm to pass time while waiting for another friend in his usual dives. The so called insect and buttlefly farm was quiet and the entrance was not cheap also despite the state of it! Anyway, just for the sake of passing time while waiting for the other friend, we went in for a look.
The place is still well kept and the animals were well treated. The lack of tourist in the area make the place feel so Quiet…..Anyway i manage to pass my time there and bought some souvenir here. Not much to see and talk about in here except the existence of poisonous snakes and spider etc…
The main attraction here beside scuba diving is the Zoobic Safari. In here, we get to sit on an armored truck and feed the hungry tigers in the zoo. Chickens were acted as a bait to lure the tiger towards our armored trucks for the passenger to witness the strong paws and teeth of the tigers. The strength and weight of these mighty tigers could be felt inside the truck. The normal whole sized chicken seem “A snack” to them only with their enormous sized …..ithink they can crave for at least dozens of these…..
The tour ended with some brief visit to a tiger cage. Many full grown tiger and a white tiger were seen here. We left the zoo after some photo snapping, and back to the town of subic bay. We have a meal which is not that great. Shopping in the free trade zone is last in our travel itenery. Some said the wines and clothes are very cheap here, but for me, i don’t see much of variety of cloths there. Wines was definitely cheap, no doubt to that. After our shopping there, we headed back to Makati city for the day. It’s nice to visit this historic place for relaxation and scuba diving. If you asked, will i go back there for a second time? I will say yes for scuba diving only if i take any diving license and NO if for traveling again…;)
Subic Bay,Philippines-Part 1
It’s been long since i have gone for any holiday except for the family trip in Taiwan (again) second time. 
I’ve just want to write on this special place in Philippines where i visited during my oversea working trip there. It is a well known place named, Subic Bay where most Scuba Divers and holiday travelers will know this place.
I am quite fortunate to be able to visit this place as I met my old schoolmate in Philippines where he invited me for this trip. Anyhow, I manage to set foot on this so call a historical place. The journey to Subic Bay is about 5~6 hours by car from Makati City,Manila. My first impression on this place is the nice scenery of the beach, blue sea, and greenery.
The blue peaceful sea…..
The greenery…
My second impression when arrived there is the heavy presence of police. It seem that the town is so peaceful and i think the police forces outnumbered the locals…..
A place to shop for wines, shoes, and other imported stuff. The wines here are cheap (Free Trade Zone) and some say the shoes and clothes. But personally, i don’t think there is much place to shop around where only a supermarket and some shops.
And here is my first stop for lunch….of course after a long journey….
