A little over a week ago, CCN Travel posted an article titled "Philippines travel: 11 coolest towns in the Philippines" and coming in at number 6 was Davao City! I just stumbled on the article today. It doesn't go too in-depth, but I thought I would share it with you all so you can have a better glimpse of where I am staying this summer.
In the brief couple of paragraphs, the article gives basic panorama of the attractions of Davao. The article mentions Mt. Apo and Toril, which is the district that we are working on the power plant in. The articles claims Davao to be the "durian capital of the Philippines". I had never heard of durian before this trip, but the locals speak very highly of it and there are little shops and stores all over town that sell durian exclusively. It is supposed to be a delicious, but I have yet to try it because of its interesting odor. I just need to build my courage.
After reading the article, I definitely want to visit the Davao City's Philippine Eagle Center to see these magestic creatures before I leave.
Tomorrow we are going "island hopping". A group of 20 of us are going to head out to the island of Samal that sits in Davao bay and spend our day off on the beaches and resorts. I am sure that I will have plenty of pictures to post from our excursion!
Until next time!
