Travelling in the Philippines is a lot of fun. There are a lot of places to visit, each different from one another. From breath-taking mountains, picturesque sunsets, beautiful beaches..name it, and you can see it.
The Philippines isn't really a very rich country, and there aren't too many TV advertisements about the different places you can visit. One of the ways we know of these places are through postcards and flyers. I remember when I was still very young, our teachers would ask us to find postcards of the different tourist spots here in the Philippines. It was through those postcards that sparked our interest. And until now, it is still a very effective way to market the many natural wonders in our country. I know it's effective because even the foreigners who visit our country would buy these postcards with the magnificent pictures of the different places and send these to relatives. I guess the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds true in this case. For I know it is through the pictures and postcards that locals and foreigners find the hidden wonders and the beautiful spots to visit.
And hey, call me old-fashioned but I also get attracted to visit places outside the country because of the pictures and the postcards that I receive. The postcards tell the story behind each place, and it's very inviting especially when the photo used is one that captures the heart of what the place represents. I just wish there were more postcards now.
