Davao is the largest City of Mindanao, which is incidentally the second biggest island group of the Philippines (first Luzon, Mindanao then Visayas). With which, I came to the conclusion that Davao City...
(1) is a vast area of land with no trash, riots or any feel of Makati urbanity in it (in the best way plausible)
(2) travel will take years before it is actually fulfilled and
(3) google map I so believed in was inaccurate lest I have to admit that I do have poor estimation skills. (I'd prefer believing in the former)
But worry not, on our first day we were able to eat all the crabs, visit all the crocs, watch a fire show, and of course have some "Hope". (blog entries on these are either in the making, are done, or hoping to be conceptualized soonest.
Truth be told, my Davao travel was as effortless as sleeping on my desk after office lunch break (easy-peasy-lemon-squeazy). For one, we had a driver for the whole duration of the trip riding what I call an "awesome bus" with full blast air conditioning and enough space to stretch my not-so-Daddylonglegs legs (not just a hint: good old love of my roadtrip life, Starex van). Life where you could always stretch your legs anytime is noice.
