If you're surprised that it's already November,
you're not
the only one. Time seems to go by at warp speed towards the end of the
year, and we're once again in a race to get things done before we hit the
holiday zone. Rolling along at this fast pace can give us a nice, heady rush,
and if you're up for it, we've got reading entertainment to set you in the right
mood: from whirlwind
shopping itineraries across three retail
capitals
in our network
(
page 53)
;
to scaling
South-East Asia's
highest
peak
(
page 108)
;
to peso-pinching your way around
Cebu
(
page
99)
.
Need more excitement? Those who've hopped on the growing sport
of mountain biking will like our list of
trails to try from north to
south of the Philippines
(
page 90)
.
On the other hand, if you'd like something more laid-back to balance
off this month's bustle (and recharge in time for December's even more
demanding social schedule), try a soulful weekend escape to an artsy
enclave not far from
Clark
(
page 129)
;
or a leisurely foodie tour of
Ilonggo
eats in Bacolod
(
page 118)
;
or gather a few favorite travel buddies
and explore somewhere you'd never been before — we suggest one of
China's best preserved historical towns
(
page 70)
,
or, closer to
home in more ways than one, the big sprawl of
Jakarta
(
page 60)
.
We've
got a couple more months to make
the most of this year, and if you're
duly inspired, it's time to take flight.
Happy travels!
