panoly resort boracayTravelling has always been a passion. It gives me a sense of completeness whenever I go to a place for the first time. Grateful as I am, I always appreciate the smallest things life has to offer. Whether I become worried because of an important person or anxious because of an unfortunate event, a new place has always been a welcome treat for my weary soul.

In one of my quest as an amateur traveller (I say amateur because I have only 3 countries in my I-was-here list) and a hardworking maketing person, I stumbled upon a jewel in the northern part of Boracay.

This place may be far from the main beach, the place-to-be as what locals say, but I was smitten by the unique serenity and quiet refuge this jewel has offered during my stay.

I am talking about Club Panoly, the place which redefined my vacation week. It has rejuvenated my well-being quite pleasurably inside and out.

It was an obscure moment to linger in the place for six days because I never stay at put at one designated area for such straight period. The realization that I have been making my life a big joke because of work had profoundly sprouted here. It gave me the peace of mind, I never knew I needed. Continue Reading »

Germany or Deutschland is a country in Central Europe. It is bordered to the north by Denmark, to the east by Poland and the Czech Republic, to the south by Austria and Switzerland, and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.

High-speed vehicular traffic has a long tradition in Germany given that the first motorway (Autobahn) in the world, the AVUS, and the world’s first automobile were developed and built in Germany. Germany possesses one of the most dense road systems of the world. German motorways have no blanket speed limit. However, posted limits are in place on many dangerous or congested stretches as well as where traffic noise or pollution poses a problem.

The national roads in Germany are called Bundesstraßen (federal road). Their numbers are usually well known to the road users, as they appear (written in black digits on a yellow rectangle with black border) on direction traffic signs and in street maps. A Bundesstraße is often referred to as “B” followed by its number, for example “B 1″, one of the main east-west routes. More important routes have lower numbers. Odd numbers are usually applied to east-west oriented roads, and even numbers for north-south routes. Bypass routes are referred to with an appended “a” (alternative) or “n” (new alignment), as in “B 56n”. Continue Reading »
