Du skal ikke forlade Japan uden at nyde ramen.

Hvis der var et bud om at rejse til Japan, som jeg har fulgt religiøst, ville det være det. Uanset hvilken del af Japan jeg besøger, forlader jeg aldrig landet uden at fylde mit uklare ansigt med ramen.

Ramen med ramen kan spores tilbage til Kinas hvednudler, som blev introduceret til Japan af indvandrere i slutningen af ​​det 19. århundrede. Japanerne omfavnede det, satte deres egen spin på det og ejede det. I dag er Ramen Japans vigtige komfortmad. Ikke kun repræsenterer det, hvor meget de lokale elsker mad, det viser også, hvor alvorligt de tager madlavning som kunstform – det hårde arbejde, disciplin og kreativitet, der går ind i hver skål.

Oven i det afspejler ramen også stedets fysiske og kulturelle landskab. Næsten hver præfektur har deres egen version, afhængigt af den lokale smag, tilgængeligheden af ​​ingredienser, klima og eksterne påvirkninger. I dette indlæg samler vi nogle af de ramen -typer, der brændte et mærke på vores sind.

(Ansvarsfraskrivelse: Min gane har en tendens til at favorisere rige, dristige smagsprofiler. Jeg er ikke rigtig i lettere smag.)

Mine personlige favoritter

1. Tottori Gyukotsu ramen

Uden tvivl er vores foretrukne ramen gyukotsu ramen, signaturstilen Tottori Prefecture.

Tottori er en lidt kendt destination, i det mindste blandt udenlandske rejsende. Men denne undervurderede præfektur i Chūgoku -regionen har en rig kulinarisk tradition. Nogle af Japans mange populære retter har deres rødder i Tottori. Det er her ideen om Shabu-Shabu blev født, og hvor de smageste krabber og rejer bliver fanget.

Mens resten af ​​verden er forelsket i Tonkotsu ramen, hvis bouillon er lavet af svinekød, bruger Tottori kvægben i deres Gyukotsu -ramen. Vi har været i næsten 30 præfekturer indtil videre, og kun Tottori bruger denne ingrediens som base for deres bouillon. Det er sjældent, ja, men ikke nøjagtigt overraskende i betragtning af præfekturets tilknytning til oksekød. Det er også hjemsted for Tottori -oksekød, som antages at være forløberen for andre berømte oksekødmærker som Kobe Beef og Matsusaka Beef.

Vi har prøvet dette to gange – hos Takauna og Hachibee i Kurayoshi City – og dette er de to bedste skåle med ramen, vi nogensinde har haft. Takauna bruger 100% kvægben i sin bouillon, accent af klippesalt. Hver skefuld lancerer en eksplosion af smag, der fik mig til at hoppe mere. Hver skål med faste bølgede nudler er kronet med langsomt kogt chashu (svinekød mave), nori (tang), bambusskud og grønne løg. Både min holdkammerat Asta og jeg afsluttede skålen på kort tid. Den bedste del, det er kun ¥ 600.

Hos Hachibee er ramen toppet med tykke snit af svinekød pænt og smukt arrangeret. Oksekødens smag er ubestridelig, men blid, ikke overmægtig, men blandet godt med hvid shoyu. Rygningen af ​​de store bunker af svinekød, der bæres, grillet til perfektion, var absolut morder. Hver servering leveres med Nori (tang), bambusskud og grønne løg. Og for kun ¥ 800 er dette Waaay for godt til sin pris.

2. Kumamoto Ramen

Kumamoto ramen af ​​Tengaiten
Kumamoto er en af ​​de syv præfekturer, der udgør den sydlige ø Kyushu. Stilarterne i denne region kommer for det meste fra Kurume, hvor den originale Tonkotsu -suppe blev opfundet. Tonkotsu oversætter bogstaveligt talt til “svinekødben”, som koges og simmes i timevis. Dens nærliggende byer tilpassede sig derefter og havde deres vej med det, hvilket skabte en række specialiteter, der adskiller sig fra hinanden. I Kumamoto kan den distinkte kvalitet opsummeres med et ord – hvidløg. Masser af masser af det. Og gæt hvad, hvidløg er – uden tvivl – den ene krydderi, jeg ikke kan leve uden.

Selvfølgelig bruger andre stilarter hvidløg, men Kumamoto bliver skør med det. Kumamoto Ramens bouillon er normalt Assari, hvilket indikerer lys og tynd, generelt fordi det ofte er blandet med kyllingebestand. Men for en lettere bodied skål pakker Kumamoto Ramen også en stærk stans. Takket være de generøse portioner af hvidløg, der kan komme i masser af former: et lag af mayu (brændt hvidløgsolie), dryss af stegte hvidløgschips eller begge dele. Uanset hvad er det denne tydeligt stærke hvidløgsmag, der sætter den ud over andre ramen -stilarter.

3. Hakata Ramen

Den første skål med Hakata Ramen blev serveret på gaderne i Nakasu i Hakata, som nu er en del af Fukuoka City. Hver by i Japan har deres egen version af at forberede ramen, men Hakata-stil Tonkotsu Ramen er uden tvivl den mest succesrige, der spreder sig ikke bare rundt i landet, men over hele kloden.

Like Kumamoto ramen, Hakata ramen is an offshot of the original tonkotsu ramen created in Kurume. but Hakata’s take on it took it to another level. Hakata’s stock is often kotteri, which is rich, opaque, and often frothy. It uses thin, firm noodles and is typically topped with green onions and slices of chashu pork. It packs a powerful dose of umami with every spoonful.

The world-famous Ichiran, with branches even in North America, has its roots in Hakata. You’ll also find widely respected ramen bars like Shin-shin, Anzen Syokudo, and Ramen Kobo Ryu. and of course, it is also served at lots of yatai stalls throughout the city.

At Shin-shin and Hakata Issou, I observed that it also has a very subtle bitter aftertaste, which prevents the porky flavor from being too overpowering.

4. Sapporo ramen

In Sapporo, the signature is miso ramen, which taps the magic of miso paste, made by fermenting soy beans and blended with chicken stock or dashi (fish stock). Sometimes, chili paste is added to deliver a spicy kick that is very welcome in long Hokkaido winter.

When I asked locals where to find the best miso ramen in the city, they pointed us to Ramen Shingen. and if the queue outside is any indication, it may really be one of the most popular ramen bars in Sapporo. considering that we were there just before midnight and in freezing weather, the place was packed with locals. In fact, after falling in line outside, we stepped inside and, whoa, there was still a line. Haha. There were only 12 seats, so you must really expect to wait.

Ramen Shingen’s spicy miso bowl is called Echigo, which cradles chewy, curly noodles topped with chashu and kakuni. The richness, flavor strength, and even the piquancy were perfect. despite the gigantic serving, we were able to slurp every last strand of the noodles and every last drop of its broth.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I had my best miso ramen at a bar called Shirakaba Sansou at Sapporo Ramen Kyowakoku (aka Ramen Republic). It also has similar wavy noodles, but adorned with nori, bamboo shoots, ajitama (egg), chashu (pork), garlic oil, and black pepper. The broth is so rich that the miso is the evident star of this bowl, and it works perfectly with the rest of the ingredients. and like I said, I’m a bit partial to anything with a strong garlic flavor, so… there.

5. Klassisk Tokyo Shoyu Ramen

As Japan’s capital, Tokyo’s restaurant scene is wild, vibrant, and exceptionally diverse. Whatever type of ramen you crave, you’ll probably find a bar using that somewhere in the city. but Tokyo’s standard style is not to be pushed aside.

The classic Tokyo ramen is basic but surprising. Its clear, light-bodied broth has a chicken or pork base mixed with standard dashi and shoyu. Drowning in it are wavy noodles, topped with chashu. one of the best bowls we had in Tokyo is served by Ramen 1/20 (Ramen Nijubunnoichi), featured on the Michelin guide a few times. Although they specialize in their shio ramen, their shoyu version has less subtle flavors that feels smooth and light. Each serving is plated cleanly but thoroughly — a whole ajitama resting on the spoon and a slice of pink chashu.

6. Yuzu Ramen

What makes ramen successfully take Japan and the world by storm is its openness to interpretation. any individual can make a few changes here and there and call it their own. No wonder nearly every prefecture has their own version, and every restaurant has their own guarded recipe. It also paves the way for innovation.

One of our a lot of unforgettable bowls is Afuri’s yuzu ramen, which incorporates a touch of citrus to the tried-and-tested shio and shoyu concoctions. similar to lemon, yuzu is widely used in Japanese cuisine but not so much on ramen. but Afuri’s yuzu ramen perfectly adds a bright burst of citrusy tang that perfectly complements the savory combination of the broth, chashu, ajitama, and mizuna leaves. It’s a refreshing take on the ramen!

Other exceptional Ramen

Hiroshima ramen

Hiroshima’s own take on the good old ramen is the middle ground between the subtlety of Tokyo’s shoyu and the richness of Kyushu’s tonkotsu ramen. Its broth is thinner than Hakata, maybe because the pork bone base is also blended with vegetable and chicken stock. It also uses medium thin noodles. One thing I observed is that lots of shops offer a spicy, peppery version.

Aside from the noodle soup, Hiroshima also serves the “shirunashi tantanmen” or the soupless dan dan noodles. instead of broth, it usually has chili oil, fried ground pork sauce, and pepper mixed with thin straight noodles.

Onomichi ramen

Although Onomichi is a city within Hiroshima Prefecture, its ramen is way out there. Onomichi-style ramen is the utmost comfort food. It’s light but sinful at the same time. Light because its broth is shoyu-based mixed with fish paste and chicken extracts. Sinful because floating on top are bits of fat (seabura), an ingredient that this type of ramen has been particularly known for. Onomichi ramen also uses flat noodles.

Takaida ramen

Menya Joroku’s chukasoba
Takaida is an area peppered with ramen bars in Osaka’s Higashinari ward. Traditionally, Takaida-style takes thick noodles and drowns it in a light-bodied broth, which is a blend of chicken, kelp seaweed, and shoyu.

In Dotonbori, a shop that specializes in Takaida-style ramen is Menya Joroku (Menya Jouroku). Its best-seller is chukasoba (¥700), characterized by its deep dark broth, made with chicken stock and black soy sauce. a lot of reviews say that despite its color, it is surprisingly light. I beg to differ: I find it a bit on the heavy side. It has an intense salty flavor with a tinge of sour. That’s not a bad thing for me because like I said earlier, I like strong, rich profiles. Each serving is topped with slices of roasted pork, chopped scallions, bamboo shoots, and a dash of black pepper.

Takayama ramen

Takayama ramen (or Hida-Takayama ramen) is another clear, light version. Its broth is made from chicken bones blended with shoyu, dashi, vegetables and mirin, a condiment similar to sake but with higher sugar and lower alcohol content. Swimming in the light, tasty soup are thin, curly noodles, grilled pork, bamboo shoots, and leeks.

Bonus: Nagasakis Champon

I’m not sure whether or not I must include this because I don’t know if this is still within the ramen realm, but whatever.

I wasn’t able to take a photo of the champon we had in Nagasaki because we were hungry, haha. So here’s a photo of champon from a resto in Fukuoka.
Champon is Nagasaki’s signature noodle soup dish. It also uses ramen (pulled noodles), but they’re thicker than usual. The broth, made with pig and chicken bones, is also thicker in consistency — creamy, nearly milky — but lighter in taste. Every bowl also comes with generous helpings of various vegetables and seafood, normally shrimp and squid. other types of meat like chicken or bacon are often added.

Champon’s origins can be traced back to a Chinese restaurant called Shikairō, which is believed to have created champon in 1899 to deal with the Chinese students trying to find cheap but filling comfort food. The restaurant still operates to this day and even has an attached Champon Museum. You can find it near the Oura Church.

til et nyt land, er et interessant tidspunkt: Du prøver at navigere i en ny kultur og måske endda forsøge at opdage et nyt sprog. Det er nemt at blive pakket ind i de sjove dele og ikke huske om de mindre attraktive elementer i at tjene penge i udlandet, såsom at styre din økonomi.

Chancerne er, at du fortsat vil pådrage sig omkostninger – såsom at betale lån eller skatter – der fortsætter med at gå med din bankkonto. Overvej at bruge disse ideer til at hjælpe enkelheden med de funktionelle forskydninger i et nyt land:

Åbn en oversøisk bankkonto

Nogle lande, såsom UAE, har brug for en regional bankkonto for at betale løn til; Dette er dog ikke altid tilfældet. Hvis du gerne vil beholde alle dine økonomier et sted, skal du opdage, om du vil være i stand til at bruge verdensomspændende bankkonti til betalinger. På den måde kan du bruge din konto til at betale kontinuerlige omkostninger fra huset, mens du udfører daglig bankvirksomhed og får din indkomst deponeret i dit nye bopælsland. Hvis du er canadisk, kan du åbne en TD All Inclusive -bankkonto, hvor du kan deponere kontroller, men ikke betale nogen gebyrer for udbetalinger fra udlandet pengeautomater.

Kontakt din bankchef og opdag, om en oversøisk bankkonto er tilgængelig i det land, du vil flytte til, og hvilke skridt du skal tage for at åbne en.

Få din banks app og verdensomspændende kontaktoplysninger

Apps er fantastiske, fordi de kan bruges overalt, hvor du kan få adgang til WiFi. De er også sikkert krypteret på din telefon eller tablet, hvilket giver dig adgang til din konto på farten. Ifølge Ákos Turny, chef for produktadministration hos Misys, er tabletter fantastiske til styring af økonomi og videre.

”Det ekstra område på skærmen tillader aktiviteter, der ikke engang er mulige på mindre telefonskærme. Det ser ud til, at tabletter er en næsten bedste kanal for meget mere komplekse monetære aktiviteter: rådgivning, beregninger og online applikationer eller endda styring af rigdom, ”siger Turny.

Som et resultat bruger masser af banker tabletoptimerede apps, så sørg for at spørge din bank, om de har en.

Find ud af, hvad de verdensomspændende telefonnumre er for din bank i køb for at kontakte dem fra udlandet. Hold numrene nyttige – du forstår aldrig, hvornår du kan kræve at sende en tilbagebetaling eller rapportere et tabt eller stjålet bankkort.

Få adgang til din på internetbankingen

Hvis du ikke allerede har tilmeldt dig på internetbankingen, er det finest at gøre det, før du går. Masser af banker sender dine loginoplysninger ved at offentliggøre, og du bliver nødt til at være hus for at få det. På Internet Banking Services er let tilgængelige i mange lande; Nogle vil dog ikke tillade, at krypterede data sendes over offentlige telefonnetværk. Hvis du er i tvivl, skal du kontakte det regionale konsulat eller ambassade, før du prøver at få adgang til din på internetkontoen.

Få et online personligt netværk

Et online personligt netværk (VPN) gør det muligt for enkeltpersoner at oprette forbindelse til et netværk, som en personlig enhed havde – det vil sige et, der ikke hører til en tjenesteudbyder, der er underlagt føderale love. De giver mulighed for sikre forbindelser, der beskytter personlig identitet og placering, ud over at omgå blokerede websteder. Det er fordelagtigt at bo i udlandet, når man prøver at få adgang til websteder fra huset, der straks omdirigerer til en fremmed URL – for eksempel at skrive ind på Google.com men blive sendt til Google.FR, når du er i Frankrig. Det fungerer også med bankvirksomhed!

Vælg det ideelle kreditresultatkort til dig

Uanset hvor du er fra i verden, er der altid et godt kreditresultatkort at bruge på dine rejser. Hvorfor ikke samle nogle gavnlige punkter undervejs, eller få kontanter tilbage på alle dine køb. Det afgørende er at opdage kort, der har stor tilmeldingsfordel og et lavt (eller nej) årligt gebyr. American & UK Credit score -kort er fantastiske til point, men hvis du er canadier, bliver du nødt til at gennemse lidt hårdere.

At prøve at finde ud af din økonomi, når du flytter til udlandet, kan være en skræmmende opgave, men med tilstrækkelig forskning må du ikke have noget problem med at opdage den ideelle monetære omstændighed, der fungerer for dig. I gamle dage havde folk meget mere vanskeligheder med at prøve at ændre sig over deres banker og komplette transaktioner i udlandet, men med dagens innovation og info opdaget på Internettet, er det meget lettere end nogensinde at træde dit liv til et nyt sted . Uanset om du flytter til Kina for at vise engelsk eller bare krav om en oversøisk konto for rejser, skal du med disse grundlæggende ideer være i stand til at glæde dig over eventyret uden at kæmpe så meget om dine penge.

Jeg havde ikke set Paul så godt som Jane på over fire år.

Vi tre tilfredse på øen Ko Lipe i Thailand i 2006 – et sted, vi kunne lide så meget, vi blev en måned.

Der endte vi tre med at være nære venner. Vi svømmede, brugte tid på at spille backgammon, slappe af på stranden, drak øl op, indtil strømmen gik ud, såvel som bare at overveje livet. I slutningen af ​​min tid der var det som om vi havde forstået hinanden i årevis.

Men mit visum udløber så godt som jeg var nødt til at gå. Vi sagde et tårevåt farvel, så godt de fik mig til at garantere at se dem i New Zealand i slutningen af ​​min rejse.

Jeg kom aldrig til New Zealand i løbet af den se, men fire år senere var jeg til sidst i stand til at holde dette løfte.

På trods af den tid, der var gået, valgte vi bedst, hvor vi slap. Det var, hvis kun en dag var gået så godt som var bedst tilbage på den ø i Thailand. Alle vittigheder såvel som delt forståelse, vi havde udviklet på Lipe, var stadig der.

Jeg føler ofte, at “Rawness” af rejsen fører til øjeblikkelige livslange venner. Strippet væk fra livets fangst, har du bare det nu. Der er ingen “lad os hænge ud om to uger”, da der ikke er to uger fra nu. Med intet dog i nutiden, får du forstå folks sande selv.

Det indebærer ikke, at vi alle endte med at være det allerbedste af venner, selvfølgelig, men jeg tror, ​​at rejser fjerner al den bagage fra huset, som vi bringer rundt. Frataget såvel som nutid gør det at udvikle stramme følelsesmæssige bånd – selv på kort tid – meget meget mere sandsynligt – såvel som derefter gør disse bånd meget mere langvarige såvel som magtfulde.

Mine rejser rundt om i verden har skabt adskillige tætte såvel som livslange venner.

Folk fra La Tomatina.

Venner fra iOS.

Venner som Paul såvel som Jane.

Venner fra min tid i Bangkok.

Venner, som jeg ikke har set i år, men sender mig invitationer til deres bryllup.

Og gode venner som Erik såvel som Anne, der tilfredse dem, mens jeg var i Brugge i 2009. Vi tilbragte et par dage med at smage den store belgiske øl samt slå det så godt ud, at vi endte med at gå til Amsterdam sammen i en uge.

Jeg så dem et par måneder senere, da jeg stoppede i København, men fordi da ikke havde set eller talt meget til dem. Vi blev fanget i vores egne liv.

Og alligevel forlader jeg København efter omkostningerne de sidste fem dage med dem. Ligesom med Paul såvel som Jane var det som om Erik, Anne, såvel som jeg aldrig havde været fra hinanden. Samtalen flydede så hurtigt såvel som hurtigt som den gjorde tilbage i 2009. Vi valgte bedst, som om tiden havde frosset vores venskab, ligesom det var for to år siden.

Jeg forstår ikke nøjagtigt, hvor mange mennesker jeg har tilfredse med de sidste femten års rejse.

Og selv med de allerbedste intentioner kan kommunikation falme, når vi begynder at førte separate liv. Adskilt efter sted driver du fra hinanden. Det er kun naturligt. Facebook -meddelelser såvel som tekstopdateringer går kun så langt.

Men så kommer du igen sammen, så godt det betyder ikke noget, hvor længe det har været, fordi sidste gang du så dem. Tiden kan bare ikke bryde den obligation, du har.

Rejsevenskaber er snapshots i tide. At tilfredsstille igen er som at blive transporteret tilbage til de allerførste øjeblikke, hvor alt hvad du havde var hinanden. Du er endnu en gang ubekymret børn, der tjekker verden. Livet har ikke fået metoden til dig.

Du minder om, drikker nogle øl samt griner af nøjagtigt de samme stumme vittigheder. Det er aldrig akavet.

Rejse giver chancer for at tilfredsstille folk, at du ikke ville give et sekund, der antages at gå ned ad gaden. Det fjerner artefekten såvel som giver dig mulighed for op igen.

And those lifelong friendships is one of the biggest gifts I believe travel provides to us.

Updated: 08/04/2019 (Originally posted 8/17/11)

When I started traveling the world on my first RTW trip, I planned out everything. Where I was going to stay, what I was going to do. “First I’d check out X, then I’d take the train to Y, and then I’d bus to Z.”

Not only was it fun to plan, but I genuinely thought all of my well-laid plans would guide me along as I traveled the world solo.

It was only a few days into my trip when I realized that, while planning is important, those plans will swiftly fly out the window.

Hvorfor?

Because you’ll meet people who will tell you not to miss a certain city or country.

Because you’ll arrive somewhere and love it and want to stay longer.

Or, you’ll hate it and want to leave sooner than you planned.

While the planning is fun, at the end of the day, this is why I love solo travel: it gives you unrestricted freedom.

Admittedly, I can be a very indecisive person. (I’m a Gemini after all). That normally indicates that I end up doing things last minute. and then I normally change those last-minute plans again because I get a sudden, better, brighter idea in my head.

And when you’re a long-term traveler, that’s perfectly ok.

In fact, it’s preferable.

While there is no wrong with enjoying a well-laid plan, when you’re traveling for weeks and months at a time, you need to make room for change. You need to allow serendipity space to come and lure you into an adventure.

That’s what happened on Ko Lipe, which do this day, is one of the best months in all my travels.

By giving myself room to change my plans, to test the waters, I allow myself a chance to experience new things that I would have never dreamed of. Sure, planning is great, but even the best plans can’t account for everything.

I remember growing up and always desiring to be “the captain of my ship.” You know, working because you like what you do, not because you need a paycheck; being able to jet off to some place you want when you want; and having utmost flexibility, time, and freedom for anything.

But then you graduate college with debt, you start working, the responsibilities pile on, you start planning out life, there are societal expectations put on you, and before you know it, you’re stuck. You’re part of that vicious rat race, and it seems like time is never your own.

Then one day you just think to yourself, “How did things get this way? I want out of this box.”

That’s why I quit my job and went traveling.

Though the leap was the hardest part, you realize everything else is easy, and it’s not traveling that draws you in, it’s the freedom and flexibility. It’s about waking up today and saying, “I’m going to Ukraine tomorrow.”

Or you’re going to play golf.

Or maybe take guitar lessons.

Or start that bakery you always wanted to.

Or step to Thailand to show yoga or English or anything else that your heart desires!

I think this topic recently struck me because I’ve been thinking about the last ten years of travel and reflecting a lot.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race. Doing what you’re “supposed” to do because that’s how you’re told life is meant to be lived. You get a job, a wife, a house, kids, and then retire. but one day you wake up, and you’re 30, or 40, or 50, and you realize you never did a lot of the things you really wanted to do.

Maybe that’s why so lots of people have a mid-life crisis. maybe that’s why my daddy made a decision he was going to take up motorcycles again. Or why he gotten that automobile he always wanted. Or why my friend’s mommy changed careers.

I think that feeling is what causes so lots of people to turn to travel.

Yes, it’s terrific to see the world, but a lot of travelers I speak to are really drawn to the sense of freedom and adventure — the limitless possibilities.

While you’re traveling, the days seem to hold limitless potential and opportunity. It’s also why I think long-term travelers have a hard time adjusting back into “the real world.”

After you’ve been out of the box, it’s hard to go back in.

As much as I travel to explore new places and learn about people, I live my life because each day I wake up, I know I can open the door and do anything I want.

For now, that’s travel. exploring my world. maybe a few years from now it’ll be different.

But no matter what I do or where I go, I’ll never really change how I live because I’m not giving up my freedom to do whatever it is that makes me delighted anytime I want.

Når jeg tror på byen Pines, er det, der vedrører sindet, et billede af, ja, længes træer. Længende træer stiger fra røde nåledækkede skråninger. Længes træer, der i nogle tilfælde skjuler sig bag pladser af tåge om morgenen. Længes først træer, metode før et foto af et indkøbscenter, der står på toppen af ​​en bakke eller blokke af husbygninger, der dominerer landskabet. Udvikling er upålidelig. Det ser ud til, at hvert skridt det tager mod en meget mere kommercialiseret fremtid gør sit rustikke miljø til fortiden.

Camp John Hay fremmer dog stadig den atmosfære. Mens meget har ændret sig omkring lejren gennem årene, maler det stadig et foto af nøjagtigt, hvor mange af os billede eller husk dets seje, jordnære stemning.

Det blev oprettet den 25. oktober 1903 og har gennemgået store ændringer i løbet af sin 100-årige historie. Dog sparer jeg dig den langvarige historielektion. Den korte af det er dette: Tidligere en R&R (hvile såvel som rekreation) station udelukkende for de amerikanske væbnede styrker på Filippinerne blev lejren opkaldt efter præs. Theodore Roosevelts sekretær for specificer John Milton Hay. Det blev bombet ved at angribe japanske styrker under 2. verdenskrig samt faldt tilbage i hænderne på amerikanerne i 1945. Praktisk et halvt århundrede senere blev det vendt til den filippinske regering, der omdannede stedet til en rejsende attraktion.

En gå til Baguio City er aldrig total uden stop ved Camp John Hay. Placeringen har, hvad alle kan lide ved byen – underholdning såvel som en pause fra det tunge stød af Metropolitan Living. Lige her er 7 aktiviteter i Camp John Hay, som du måske opdager forfriskende.

Hvis du laver den gule sti -vandretur, kan du opdage dig selv på Filling Station, et kompleks af madkiosker såvel som restauranter, hvor du kan få en hurtig bid.

Gem for den kolde vejrforhold såvel som den snoede sti for at nå den, Baguio bliver meget mere såvel som meget mere ligner Metropolitan Hubs i lavlandet såvel som meget mere såvel som meget mere kendt hvert besøg. Heldigvis forbliver placeringer som Camp John Hay til rådighed for dem, der søger den seje, gamle Baguio -appel samt varmen i naturens selskab.

What is the secret to traveling long term? how do I travel so often? Am I rich? Do I have a depend on fund? Are all my trips paid for by someone else?

What is my secret sauce?

On my first trip to Thailand, I met five backpackers who changed my life. I had a vague sense of what a “backpacker” was from popular culture. They were people who barely showered, stayed in cramped hostels, ate pasta, and partied a lot. It was a something for college kids or those without a real future to do.

Yet meeting them convinced me they had unlocked the secret to travel I didn’t know existed.

I grew up with hotels, tours, and theme parks. The a lot more they told me about their lifestyle – meeting people around the world, living in bungalows on the beach, eating delicious and cheap food, taking local transportation, and just having fun, the a lot more envious I become.

They weren’t tied down to an office job or rules. They were living life while I was just on a momentary break from prison.

Before I met them, I assumed you needed to be rich to travel. but here were people that were living proof that everything I knew about travel was wrong.

While money does help, they simply had found something I didn’t:

ØNSKE.

While I wanted to travel, their desire was strong enough to make it happen.

They just did it.

That is how to travel.

You just do it.

After my first trip to Costa Rica in 2004, I was bitten by the travel bug and have been traveling ever since.

Following my encounter with them, I came home and made my trip happen. My made my life about travel. I cut my expenses, found cheap flights, and did everything I could to pursue my goal of travel.

Traveling is what’s crucial to me, so I find a way to make it happen.

I skip the Starbucks, don’t shop that often, and don’t eat out a lot. I cut corners elsewhere so I can have the time and money to do what I love: travel.

I fake plan dozens of trips every day. If I have unplanned time in my calendar, I think “hmmm, where can I go that week? Let’s figure out how to get there.”

I often hear from people that traveling is out of their reach, that they don’t have the money or the time. They have just too much responsibility. While there are certain constraints on traveling that time and money create (as well as privilege), people do what they want. When you genuinely want something, you go after it.

If you genuinely wanted to travel, you would. You wouldn’t make excuses; you would just find a way.

Excuses are simply a convenient way for people to neglect their own fears.

I travel so often for the same reason my friend always seems to be at a Patriots game, or my other friend has a new pair of shoes, and another always seems to be hiking. That’s what we love and we actively work to realize those goals. Do you want to get that new iPhone? You’ll make it happen.

We always want to make our desires come true.

I choose to work towards making my travel desire a reality.

If you want to know how to travel, you just need to have the desire to just do it!

There are a lot of unknowns in long-term travel. A lot of people aren’t ready to deal with that. However, even if you’ll never spend a year traveling around the world or dedicate your life to vagabonding, that doesn’t indicate travel will be out of your reach.

Travel is a terrific thing. Life is short and I don’t think we were ever indicated to spend it droning away in cubicles. travel can show you all the appeal in the world — from chaotic markets in Southeast Asia and majestic cities in Europe to dense jungles and exotic wildlife in central America.

Everywhere you go, every day something new happens. new people, new places, and new experiences.

People like to think that travel costs a lot of money or that you just can’t make it happen. My only hope is that by reading this blog, you realize that you can. I’m not rich, but I budget well and I find good travel deals. I work hard so that I can play hard.

With a little flexibility and a little price scouting, you can get anywhere on any budget. people are always surprised when they see how cheap it can be and how little effort it really takes.

Once you have the desire and motivation to go, nothing can stop you.

Find a cheap flight

I should’ve listened when they said, “Go the extra mile.”

The last time I was in Negros Occidental, I burned many of my time in Bacolod and went as far south as the municipality of Cauayan. I was a travel newbie then and was only interested in the apparent and popular. At the time, I had heard of Sipalay City. Locals kept discussing it, urging us to make time for it. “You’re already in Cauayan, you might as well check out Sipalay.” but because it didn’t sound any proverbial bell, I swept it under the rug, where I keep anything I find outside of my comfort zone.

It’s been six years because that trip. Sipalay City, the jewel that sparks a lot of pride in the heart of the locals, stays an obscure dot on the tourism map of the Philippines. I still felt like I knew nothing about it. So when the soles of my feet touched Negros Island once again, I knew I was in for a surprise. It was time to finally go that extra mile. and that extra mile was so extra! Sipalay is phenomenal.

Understanding Sipalay City

Sipalay City is one of the twelve component cities in Negros Occidental. but before you conjure up images of skyscrapers, know that it is far from being highly urbanized. In numerous ways, it still feels much more like a small town than an urban center. The atmosphere stays pretty laid-back and rustic, with the city center composed of just a few blocks lined by typically empty streets. Don’t expect fast food stores, malls, or supermarkets.

Sipalay’s economy was fueled mostly by sugar and mines, but it is slowly shifting to one that is driven by tourism. budget and upscale resorts are sprouting in every nook and cranny of its splendidly crumpled landscape. lots of small rainforest-carpeted hills guard its coast, hiding a stretch of white and golden sand in between. visitors are here for the beaches, and in Sipalay, there is no running out of them.

Here are some much more facts you might want to know:

Language: Hiligaynon (Ilonggo). English is widely understood.

Currency: Philippine peso (PhP). PhP100 = USD2, EUR 1.65, KRW 22000, JPY218

Mode of payment: Cash. We found one ATM (Landbank). If you’re coming from Bacolod and you need to withdraw, do so in Bacolod. A few resorts accept credit report card, but cash is still preferred.

Electricity: The conventional voltage is 220V. conventional socket is type A (two pins).

When to check out Sipalay

Weather-wise, the best time to check out is between December to May, with February to April being the most ideal.

However, keep in mind that December and the March-May periods are also top seasons so expect the crowd to balloon. June is the start of the rainy season. Thankfully, Sipalay is out of the typical typhoon path and it is rarely gets direct hits.

How to get to Sipalay

The Bacolod-Silay airport is the gateway to Negros Occidental, which Sipalay is part of. From Bacolod, the capital, it’s just 5-6 hours away. However, Dumaguete airport in twin province Negros Oriental is actually a tad closer. The difference isn’t much though, so you can just pick whichever is less expensive or better suited to your itinerary.

From Bacolod Airport

At the airport, you may take a shuttle/van (P150) but it will terminate at SM City Bacolod. If you’re not traveling alone or carrying heavy baggage, the most practical way is to just take a taxi or GrabTaxi directly to South Ceres Bus terminal and split the cost. Fare: around P250 (if meter is used).

At the South Ceres Bus Terminal, hop into the bus going to Hinoba-an or Sipalay. There’s one practically every hour. travel time: 5 hours. Fare: P209 (non-aircon bus), P253 (aircon bus).

Tell the chauffeur to drop you off in Sipalay (if you take the Hinoba-an bus).

From Sipalay bus station, take a tricycle to your hotel or resort. If your hotel is in the city center, you can go on foot. If it’s on a beach outside the city, take a tricycle. Fare: P150 per person.

From Dumaguete Airport

From the airport, take a tricycle to Dumaguete Ceres Terminal. Fare: P100-P300, depending upon your nego skills. You may also get out of the airport vicinity and ride a multicab to the city center.

At Dumaguete Ceres Terminal, boaRd bussen går til Sipalay. Far: omkring P290. Hvis der ikke er nogen direkte busser til Sipalay, kan du tage en bus til Hinoba-An og overføre til en anden bus til Sipalay. Uanset hvad vil rejsen tage 4-5 timer.

Fra Sipalay Bus Station skal du tage en trehjuling til dit hotel eller resort. Hvis dit hotel er i byens centrum, kan du gå til fods. Hvis det er på en strand uden for byen, skal du tage en trehjuling. Far: P150 pr. Person.

Hvor skal man bo i Sipalay City

Der er tre hovedområder, hvor du kan bo, hver med deres fordele og ulemper.

Sipalays sydkyst

Sipalay centrum. den mest praktiske mulighed. Lavprisindlognings- og spisemuligheder kan findes her. Som centrum for handel og transport af byen er det meget sandsynligt, at du finder dig selv i dette område alligevel, selvom du vælger at blive et andet sted. Cellulær modtagelse (signal) er godt her.

Sydkyst. Strandene syd for byens centrum har flere resorts, hvoraf mange er lidt fornemme. Denne hårde strækning skjuler Tinagong Dagat, Punta Ballo og endda Perth Beach Resort i sine hjørner. Hvis du vil have lidt ro i sindet, og du planlægger at bo på byen mange af tiden, kan dette være et godt valg. Ved dog, at adskillige af disse resorts er lidt på den dyre side. Det er også langt fra byens centrum med bit transpo -indstillinger, medmindre du beder udvej til charter en trehjuling til dig. Resorts er typisk gemt langt fra hovedvejen. Det taggete terræn gør også at komme til dit værelse til en test af udholdenhed. Nogle resorts er overhovedet ikke seniorvenlige. For eksempel, i tilfælde af Easy Diving Resort og Perth Paradise Resort, er rummet og faciliteterne forbundet med stejle trapper. Cellulær modtagelse her er i bedste fald plettet, og dataforbindelse findes ikke i nogle områder. Men nogle resorts som Easy Diving tilbyder deres egen mobile internetenhed til deres gæster gratis.

Sukkerstrand. Sipalays mange populære strand. Dette er et fantastisk valg, hvis du er på et budget, men du vil bo et sted strandpromenade. Masser af billige resorts og restauranter frynser pulverstrimlen. Overkommelig i forhold til dem i syd. Ulempen, det er temmelig afsondret, så hvis du også vil udforske de sydlige strande, vil det kræve en båd og trehjulede overførsler. Resorts her inkluderer Taka Tuka, Driftwood Village og Sulu Sunset Resort.

Af de tre anbefaler vi at bo i byens centrum, hvis du planlægger at se mest af Sipalay. Bare tjek Sugar Beach og de andre bugter på en dagstur. Dette sparer dig tid, kræfter og penge. Hvis du også planlægger at tage til Danjugan Island i den nærliggende kommune Cauayan, er byens centrum den ideelle base.

Bedste hoteller og resorts i Sipalay City

Her er de bedst bedømte egenskaber i Sipalay, som scoret af Traveloka-brugere. Vi valgte et hjem i syd, en i Sugar Beach og to ejendomme i byens centrum.

Jamont Hotel (Sipalay centrum)

Jamont Hotel er din bedste indsats i byens centrum, hvilket indebærer, at transport ikke vil være et problem. Dette er det bedst bedømte Sipalay -hjem i Poblacion.

Kontroller priser og tilgængelighed
.

Sipalay Jewel Guest House (City Center)

Hvis du ikke er Maselan, og du er i orden med bare de bare grundlæggende, kan Sipalay Jewel Guest House have en seng til dig. Bemærk dog, at soveværelserne ikke er aircondition og badeværelser deles. Det er dog lavpriser, med senge et eller andet sted mellem P200 og P400.

Kontroller priser og tilgængelighed
.

Nem dykning og strandby (Syd, Punta Ballo)

Hvis Traveloka og TripAdvisor -evalueringer skal stole på, er dette den bedste udvej i Sipalay. Det er lidt på den dyre ende af spektret, ved P2000 pr. Nat, da vi boede her (med morgenmad). Men mellemrummet er godt vedligeholdt, og restauranten serverer god mad. Men igen er det placeret ikke tæt på byens centrum. Og det ligger også på en bjergskråning, så forbered dig på at få din levetidsdosis trapper. Men hvis du ikke har noget imod den daglige træning, og du er her for fred og ro eller for at lære dykning, er dette ideelt for dig.

Sugar Beach House

Driftwood Village (Sugar Beach)

En anden billig mulighed (men er ikke på Traveloka -notering) er Driftwood Village. Det er ekstremt populært blandt backpackere for sine lave priser og fantastiske atmosfære. Her er deres satser:

Værelser m/ privat toilettet (fra november 2017)

God til 2 PAX: P900-1200

God til 4 PAX: P1500

God til 6 PAX: P1800-2000

Steder at tjekke ud i Sipalay

Gaderne, der omfatter byens centrum, er brolagt, så det er behageligt at komme rundt i Poblacion -området eller gå til ethvert punkt langs motorvejen. Men det er en anden historie, der kommer til strandene, som kan fås adgang til gennem smalle, ru snavsveje. Forvent en ujævn tur.

Til ikke-dykrs, the beaches and coves are the highlight of any stay in Sipalay. Thankfully, many of them can be went to in one day, if you decide not to stay long. You can hop from one attraction to another in two ways:

By tricycle. The tricycle is the main mode of transportation in the city. but they are not as common as you might think. In areas outside poblacion, it’s rarely to find a passing tricycle. You will have to ask a hotel or resort staff to charter one for you. From the city center to anywhere outside, prepare P150-P200 per person. Sometimes, the chauffeur agrees to P250-P350 per 2 pax. Hence, it’s best to hire a tricycle for an entire day. A whole-day Tricycle trip of the city costs P1500 (max. 4 pax).

Med båd. From Poblacion Beach, you can charter a boat to take you to the same areas as the tricycle tour. cost is the same: P1500. I’m pretty sure many resorts offer island hopping trips too, but they might cost a bit more.

Whatever you take, you will be able to check out the following destinations:

Tinagong Dagat

This is a small, private cove peppered with rocky islets, with some linked by wooden bridges. The area is handled by a resort that is easily available from the main road. cross the long bridge and skirt around the islet on the far end and you’ll find the base of a concrete staircase (of around 100 steps). Climb to the park atop to get a fantastic view of the surrounding paradise.

Entrance fee: P30

Perth Paradise Resort

This is where you’ll find this swimming pool with that renowned view. The resort occupies an isolated hillside, with the pool crowning one. To get to the pool, you will have to climb another staired path. We actually spent one night here (P2500), but you can also check out on a day tour. Actually, I recommend this only for a short visit. There’s not much to do. It’s instagrammable and the view is glorious, but that’s just about it.

Entrance Fee: P80 for adults, P50 for kids.
Pool use: P100 per person

Punta Ballo

Another stretch of golden sand. This is where much more upscale resorts, such as easy Diving, Robinson Cruse beach Resort, and artistic Dive Center, are located.

Sugar Beach

Sipalays mange populære strand. It’s a long strip of, uhm, sugary sand cut in half by a stream estuary. Sugar beach many typically refers to the half north of the river, cloistered from the rest of Sipalay. directions to this beach can be quite overwhelming at first.

If you’re on a boat tour, no problem; you will be taken directly to the beach.

If you’re on a tricycle tour, the tricycle is going to take you to the jump-off point near the mouth of the stream (far from the highway). From here, you will have to ride a boat to the other side of the stream (Boat fare: P50) then walk to the resort area. You can also charter a boat to take you directly to the resort area (Fare: P300).

Poblacion Beach

The beach fronting Sipalay City Center. Make sure you end your trip here for two reasons. First, it faces west, making it a wonderful spot to view the sunset. We did it on two consecutive nights and it was stunning both times. Such a unwinding sight!

Second, running parallel this beach is Sipalay Food Park, which is composed of several inasal and barbeque places and small food kiosks. have your dinner here!
