So, if you had a chance to visit any country in the world..which country would it be? Why? And what area of the country would you visit?

As for me, I'd love to visit Indonesia. Why? Because of its rich and massive history---the kingdoms of Sri Vijaya, Malaccan, Majapahit were all cradled by the malay civilizations of Indonesia..as well as the ethnic relations Indonesia has to the Philippines---as we all came from Indonesia (the cradle of Malay civilizations).

Areas I'd love to visit would be Yogyakarta and Jakarta in the island of Java.

I have been dreaming of visiting Israel.

I love Jerusalem!

I'd love to go to Egypt and see the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. Explore and behold the ancient artifacts in the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings.

I'd love to visit "The Lost City of Atlantis"! Is there anyone here in tubagbohol who could tell me how to reach this place? 

Ghost, lost lang gihapon until now ang Atlantis...

tabangi kog pangita ginger bi!

dad-a ni na map Ban-alam

I'd love to go to France Paris.

hahaha I'll come with you, bro. I hear its right under Cyprus..as in in the bottom of the sea. Who knows we might find some hot mermaids down there

Any of you guys seen the ancient temples of Indonesia? I had a friend who went back to Java, Indonesia for the summer (he's Indonesian) and the pictures he had of the area was breathtaking. The city of Yogyakarta is supposed to be the cradle of all Malay civilizations--from which it created empires that colonized what is now peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sulawesi, Mindanao and further north to Luzon area. Yogyakarta for me is the origin of the Malay people--Malaysians, Filipinos (Boholanos), Bruneians, Indonesians and southern Thais.

Look at the majesty and creativity of the Malay race:

that looks beautiful onic.

Im glad to know you enjoyed the pics, dear Happy. So why are you so interested in France?

fantastic view!

Hahaha tinuud ba? Dili diay ka ma hadlok ma hambog ka simbako ? Ako--naa jud ko fear of massive heights. Id have to have someone hold my hand when going up the Eifel Tower..oi. Taas ra jud na!

May I share my experiences on these places.  Sa Paris, you feel romantic kung kuyog imo mahal sa buhay, going up the Eiffel Tower and riding the giant ferris wheel.

When you go to Rome, you have to visit the St. Peters Basilica and Sistine Chapel. kung mosulod ka Museo Vaticano, mora ug naa ka sa usa ka eternal place.

Yes, absolutely wonderful. I've been there twice pero gusto lang gihapon ko mo balik..*sigh*

The country in Europe that I totally enjoyed was Ukraine, I had the chance to participate in an abroad summer semester there with 14 other college students in my college--where we studied post soviet Ukraine, the biological/ecological effects of Chernobyl in the surrounding landscapes.

The culture of Eastern Europe was superb--and the university that hosted us, Kiev Mohyla Academy of Law and Graduate Studies was above par.

There were so many things that I enjoyed whilst staying in Ukraine:
1. The college students
2. Ukrainian/Russian culture-ethnic roots
3. Religion: Orthodoxy and Catholicism
4. Military history
5. Beautiful villages

Here are some pictures--

The view of Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine


The Ukranian Assembly--this used to be the seat of the Communist government during USSR epoch.


Soviet-era statues in dedication of the 'Great War' aka WWII



15th century castle ruins in western Ukraine: the castle and keep were destroyed by the Ottoman Turks



We were inside the Chernobyll nuclear plant--where we toured the damages.


My Ukranian hosts--Ivana and Radislava


On our way to a kievan club. She really should concentrate on driving than on me taking pics, LOL

the women in Ukrain are so dammed beautiful!

I think it is cheaper in Eastern Europe ( like Ukraine ) than in Western Europe....

junayag, on your next tour...you should consider visiting us in Scandinavia.

mag save pa siguro oi kay nindot man isugod ug business sa atoa, dugay dugay naman gud ko dinhi sa Saudi.  pero duna gani ko extra budget mobisita ko diha nimo ha?

yes sure kaayo. magkita ta nilang Julai ug Happy. naa pud si Shane ug Ligiah nga mga new members dire sa TB.

what is the best time (month ) to visit there? In my previous visits in Europe ( these were in the months of January, February and March )...

Depende kung unsa nga season imong gusto. In Norway, sure gyud nga naay snow on winter (Dec-Feb)...nice pud ang spring (Mar-May) and summer (June-Aug)...ang autumn (Sept-Nov), medyo hangin ug ulan permi so di maayo.

daghan bang TB members residing in Scandinavian countries and neighboring parts of Eastern Europe?

hmmm wala man siguro kaayo pero who knows, Tubag Bohol is getting bigger!

nangutana lang ko kay kon daghan mas maayo kong mag tigom tigom ta dihang dapita....

my country i love to visit is eastern island.

Hahaha I know, bro. Their country may not be as developed as per se Germany, France, Spain, the UK etc, but their women are excessively beautiful. The women in general are very accepting of foreign men.

But yea it wasn't really that bad in Ukraine, I'd compare it to a developing country such as Portugal, Hungary, Argentina, Russia, etc--their currency is the Hryvnia and its worth 5 to 1 US dollar. The cost of living there is rather cheap; actually its quite similar to the Philippines in that the people in the rural areas live on about ~100 US dollars a month, but life in the cities tend to be more pricey.

No TB isn't a major concern, from doing medical research there, the pervailing medical problem that is affecting Eastern Europe is HIV/AIDs, as well as oncological problems as a result of the fallout of Chernobyl. In the Chernobyl Oblast region of Ukraine for example, it is common to hear children within the ages 5-15  suffering from cancer.

With a resilient economy though, and increased investment from the west, these regions should prosper and feel the effects of 'Europization' within 1-2 decades time. We have to keep in mind that its only been 15/16 years since the fall of the Soviet Union--diba?

Onic, Jun was talking about the Tubag Bohol members (abbreviated as TB) living in Eastern Part and Scandinavian countries, though your clarifications with regards to your visit in Ukraine is still appreciated. It's sad to know that children as young as 5 are already suffering cancer.

At this time I like to visit Iraq and Iran countries to observe or watch the civil war.

hahaha levi jeans ra? Ako galing..ang bajit tour guide--ning offer siya mo sleep with me for 'extra payment kono'..hadloka lol. Luuy lang pood sila kai wala man good opportunity sa ilaha..daghan ka sa tanan bajit didto--mo adto sila sa western europa to work as gogo dancers/ prostitute na lang---so they can send money back to Ukraine for their family.

Bran, Roskilde Festival is Denmark's music festival for hippies covering more of the mainstream youth from Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. Roskilde is a city of eastern Denmark on Sjaelland Island west of Copenhagen.

check this if you want to attend the festival http://www.roskilde-festival.dk/index.php?code=1

^ ahhh i see..so its like the european version of Woodstock.

Mine is Italy. A bit anxious yet happy because finally I'll be there on tuesday. Rome, Florence and Venice are the main attractions in this country. And i'll go a little bit of the countryside of Venice which is Padua. I will miss Tubag Bohol site for two weeks and set aside all my anger and frustrations about these rediculous, frustrating happenings in my beloved Bohol that is haunting me night after night, at least for a little while in my vacay, I can be at peace.

bitbita ang laptop. pictures unya ha?

I love to visit Philippines

To determine if you're still a virgin, Mr Mohandis, you will be asked to participate in a New Guinean sex dance. If you don't know the right steps, you've failed the test. Buot pasabot, beergin pa ka.
