Here’s a new baby of mine.

So this is how this works: you walk around, sees a landmark, a restaurant, or even cute wild animals. You open this web app, and takes a photo, then get all the info you need.

Already settled in your home or hotel? Then upload that photo. And you get the same amazing info!

Do you know how much a country earns from foreign tourists?

With EDSA about to become a living commuting hell for many Pinoys. Here’s a very practical, safest, highest volume, and most environment-friendly transportation option. And yes, it can also become a tourist attraction.
The ELEVATED WALKALATOR

Well, some of my transportation and urban development acquaintances actually sneer at this idea. But hear me out.

This works best in highly dense urban areas.
The safest! No need to walk along the dangerous streets and dodge kamote riders.
It can transport more than a million people per day.
It is not fast. But it can bring people to their destinations. No more waiting and queueing time.
Can it be placed in EDSA? Technically, yes (although it is best to be placed from C5 to edsa; BGC to Makati, then to roxas blvd. But if we do some detailed studies, we’ll discover that many people travel less than 4 kilometers to get from their home to their places of work. C5 to EDSA is only about 2 kilometers. That’s less than 30 minutes on comfortable moving walkway, much faster if you’re also walking.

Talk about fusion. Japanese chashudon rice topping with crunchy kamote tops.
I would like to see them make the leaves as consistent as the seaweed flakes. That would definitely elevate the fusion.

I discovered that the Golden Cowrie restaurant of Cebu now has a branch in Ayala by the Bay in Metro Manila. Great dining experience

Ayan, as promised, i made a blog article on Tourism POI Saturation.
Very useful if you’re planning to develop large areas as a single attraction. That you would realize that you can actually exponentially increase the number of points of interest in such sites. In this case, a river as an example (ehem! May idea kayo kung ano? Tandaan - generic river yan 😏). May iba pa kayong topics na gustong ipasulat? May bayad na, haha! Nasa comment ang article link.

Here’s some of the things you see during this big travel event.

There are landmarks in the city that are worthy of our gawks.

We travel to far-away lands to see and be seen with the famous landmarks. We may not know their histories and why they were built in the first place. But we go anyway. We wonder in awe but we wonder at the same time what the heck is this thing all about?…

But there are those landmarks in your own community where if you just stop for a few seconds and see things from a perspective of a stranger, you realize that you made a good stop.

And while we’re at it, let me recommend to the city mayors to make a local ordinance requiring new buildings to include a public art in front of their facades as part of the development of their structure. No public art, no building permit.
