lemme take a quick break from nippon..


we're # 26!!!

new york times came out with an article (jan 11), naming boracay as #26 in their '44 places to go in 2009' list!

and i quote:

"#26 Boracay, The Philippines

The next Phuket?  The island jewel of Boracay -- known for its emerald water, white sand beaches and glassy lagoons -- may be just that.  Less than an hour from Manila by plane, this small, four-mile-long island has long been a destination for wealthy Filipinos.  Now, a new breed of South Beach-style hotels is broadening the island's appeal.  The Tides, a chic boutique hotel, has quickly become the pool-and-party spot for the Philippine jet set.  And later this year, a Shangri-La hotel opens with 219 rooms and villas and a 61,000-square-foot spa on a private bay."

Woohoow!!!!

The others that made it on the list?  Beirut, the Galapagos, Bhutan, etc.
