Bohol 薄荷 (including Panglao Island)
=================================

1. In any case you should change some money directly in the airport for taxis or ferries.
2. Once in Tagbilaran (Bohol Is.) it's easy to get to Alona Beach (Panglao Is.) over one of the two Bridges. The probably easiest way is to catch a Taxi (8US$) to Alona Beach. Another way would be the Bus or a Tricycle which is cheaper but takes longer. If you contact Sun Divers in Advanced then they will pick you up on the Airport or on the Ferry terminal.

SEPAT

原本今晚應該是在宿霧度過的,因聖帕 (Sepat) 颱風緣故,班機取消,所以還能在這裡碎碎唸。

想改班機時間,台北往馬尼拉、馬尼拉往宿霧兩段,但是台灣的代理服務人員因颱風休假,回 mail 給宿霧航空的客服遲遲未收到確認回應,看樣子明天真的是往機場去 "Go show" 排隊碰運氣。

如果真那麼好運氣,明天排不到位,那,要不要改行程?還是改個地點?傷腦筋哩。台灣出國著實不方便,要簽證的國家一大堆,選個免簽的國家去走走好了。

人禍。天災

這個週末是半年前安排了的菲律賓之旅,從上禮拜起接連兩個颱風,想不到鄰近出發日,一個更為強烈的颱風更是朝台灣直撲而來,不知該說運氣好或是不好。

上一颱風造成南部大淹水,而這「聖帕」更只憑著外圍環流就教馬尼拉大淹水。

以前挺喜歡有颱風假可以放,不過現在卻不喜歡颱風侵台,因為天災還是會帶給許多人更多的困擾,畢竟台灣有政黨亂世的人禍已經夠多,不需要天災再來參一腳。

要放假,我可以請假休息。

Black List

很意外地,被旅行社通知要親自去面談辦理菲律賓簽證。

一早抽空去了一趟馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處,跟三號櫃臺的承辦人員詢問了一下,說因為我的 ID 在他們的黑名單上,所以簽證下不來,要我等候跟他老闆 (可能是領事官) 面談。

等了二十分鐘左右,差不多十點剛過,還是等不到他老闆,所以就跟他說還必須回去上班,是否可以再以電話約定面談時間,承辦先生回答可以,便留下了名片給他。

打算如果下週二前沒回應,那就放棄,不去菲律賓了,反正備案也一堆,目的就是放空一下自己,繃得夠久了。

下午兩點左右,馬上就接到電話通知,問我下禮拜一可不可以過去面談,約好下午時間 (也好,他老闆沒那麼早上班,其實我也爬不起來,哈),就等下禮拜一過去,看看後續如何了。

好奇的是,這黑名單,怎麼來的?我的罪名是什麼?
