Some might be wondering why am I talking about the mall here in this beach island... well, initially, I too was a bit surprised that I was told to heading to 'D*Mall' as my first stopping point in Boracay island.
I was to find that out later... but anyway, here's somethings I noticed at this 'open mall area'.
Found this quite a nice souvenir - get your name painted on a tshirt! (some names like the one above can be bought directly).
Anyway what I like about the mall is the unique shops & their interesting fronts & designs... giving the 'welcome- you're on a holiday' feel.
One of the more beautiful restaurants - especially on photo! Btw, I realised that this restaurant was also shot in one of Korea's drama DVD - Romantic Island.
And when on the island, how can one miss the bars. The drinks on the island was incredibly cheap compared to home - for example, a glass of alcohol is only about 60-70 pesos! So when I was at the bar at early afternoon, the lady just said "Ain't it a lil early for a drink?" lol :)
As I was walking out of the mall area, I came across - another souvenir shop... selling soaps! This shop is no 'factory' like the one I visited, but nevertheless this shop is still quite something. Btw, the soaps are cheaper here (about 50 pesos/ bar).
Though I enjoyed the mall area, but the one reason to come to Boracay is non other than the already so famous long White Beach... and this is what I saw after passing through D*Mall:
Now, that's when to say Mabuhay! :)
Wow! Can they paint Tekkaus? :p
ReplyDeleteOuh...this restaurant was filmed in a Korean Movie? Interesting! How come the koreans come to Philippines? :p
The last photo...wow...the wind must be very strong o. :O
The shirt souvenir idea is nice!! I don't think there's anything like that in Singapore,and the beach is really gorgeous!
