There is only 3 km between the isle of Sicily and the mainland Italy but Sicily is nowhere near to the rest of the country. There are no well-maintained tourist attractions, no pristine streets here. Instead there is an exquisite cuisine, scorching sun, lively and chaotic street markets and people distinctly more relaxed than in any other part of Italy.

If you ask me to point the capital of Philippines on the colour scale, Manila represent all shades of grey. For many unaware tourists and travellers, Manila is a fairly strange reality to be faced with. The life in the tropics, pearly white sand, the chill out vibe and endless turquoise water.
