Our warm Welcome with a Smile
Change is good. So if the beginning of the year finds you adrift in a sea of new experiences, just sit back and let it all happen.
Don’t fear change. Embrace it.
It is the stuff of life. And that’s especially true when you’re starting off a brand new decade!
What’s your transformative style? Are you the type that plots and plans, or are you the one that goes with the flow, rides the tides of inspiration and delights in the discovery of the new?
As we launch into 2010, here’s a challenge: I dare you to do something radical to shift your life in a different direction. Writer Troy Bernardo provides meaningful vacation ideas for you to choose from in our cover story, 10 Trips to Take in 2010. These could be the most enjoyable resolutions you’ll ever make, so turn to page 30 right now.
When self-confessed couch potato Duncan Forgan decided he wanted to jumpstart his sedentary lifestyle, he picked one of the most prominent mountains in South-East Asia to cement his resolve. Read his personal account of scaling Mount Kinabalu on page 49.
Often considered as a jump-off point to surfing haven Siargao, Surigao is worthy as a destination in itself. Time and Tide is Edgar Alan Zeta-Yap’s poetic look at the waterscapes of this province — from its pristine lakes to its majestic 40ft waterfalls (page 42).
Finally, if you’ve been a safe eater all your life, let your taste buds go on an adventure. The Eat is on in Saigon (page 37) features the newest, international restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City — definitely a must-try on your next trip to this bustling metropolis.
Wherever you intend to go, and whatever you happen to go through, we’ll be right there with you for the journey. Happy new year, everyone!
