I decided to study abroad for two months in Cebu, Philippines during Taiwan summer vacation. This is my first time to travel in other country for such a long time with no parents but only my cousin, who is only fifteen-year-old boy, was unfamiliar with me, even he already forgot whom I was when we finally met in the airport. However, we made friends with each other and some Taiwanese who were also teenagers. All of us were teenagers with no experience in studying abroad alone, but we really took care of each other even though others of different nationalities. To our amazement, traveling abroad is just like an adventure. We found those like-minded companions as if they are our family in such a strange environment in which we got along together. Therefore, we really recovered from homesickness and began our adventurous and exciting lives in Cebu.
The Philippines, which is a wonderful country, can really make you praise without cease. You can look forward to taking vacation here with the warm weather, various native food, friendly Filipinos, and unusual experiences, which you can only enjoy here. Lots of foreigners and local people love to go to the beaches in numerous islands in the Philippines.
In my case, I enjoyed the trip in Nalusuan, Bohol Island, and Oslob. The beaches are so clean that we may not see such beauty in Taiwan. There is limpid with crystal water under the shiny sunshine and azure sky, and you can even see the white sand through the seawater directly. You can plan yourself to enjoy anything you want with your friends on the weekends, so you won’t be so stressful to study English all day long in the weekdays.
