I’ll try and be honest with you. For the second largest city in the Philippines, there’s really not that much to do in Cebu City as a tourist. But, if you do take the few hours to try and explore
Western Market : Sheung Wan
Down Des Voeux Road crossing Hong Kong Island’s Central area towards Sheung Wan is an old indoor market dating back to the days of old Hong Kong – Western Market. The northern part that remains a shopping area today was
Michigan and State Theaters : Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor is a great little university town but after only a short stay I already got the sense that it just might be too small for me. I’m guessing it’s a bit more lively during semester with students crawling

Zhi Nan Temple : Taipei
Up the monkey mountains of Muzha (Houshan, 猴山) on the terrific Maokong Gondola is one of Taipei’s prime temples – Chi Nan Temple – offering superb views of southern Taipei City combined with the cultural atmosphere of the local religions.
