Living the life I could envy. Looks damn right fun to travel and see the places written about on a textbook.
First and only church I ever had to pay money just to walk inside.
This part hits home. A lot of the places here in the Philippines have churches as their tourist spots due to heritage and you'd get pesky vendors with their blessed candles swarming on you. And I have yet to see a church that I'd be willing to pay that much just as you despite my place having lots of them.
Have a safe trip :>
Yes. We're well aware how blessed we are to be in this position and don't take it for granted.
Same page and, what I mean by that is, mono-e-mono you and I and these explanations are getting outta hand. We've been through the Vatican and Old Jerusalem as well, it's not just Philippines. That St Peter's was the same, unfortunately they all have touristy stands well equipped with pricey souvenirs, it's gross. Jesus woulda flipped the coin tables over—den of robbers!
Thank you. <3
I wouldn't be surprised if tourist attractions included deities flipping tables to show protest against the industry - but you get to pay for the tickets to see it first. If someone sells you "blessed water' hand them a water bottle while offering it a prayer, challenge which one tastes better. It's either your distilled water or their questionable water source dripped from an old statue laced with acid rain with fungi. Did that make sense? no, forget about it, just a silly horror story from my travels.
You're welcome, thank you for the attention and time too :>
Genius!!
I think we should virtually collaborate on that one. We'll host remote viewings around the world flipping tables and call it Come One Come All. 👀
Rated for mature audiences only. <- That'll get'em for sure! Cha-ching!
