hello everyone!

do you know this place? have youve been here?
Guys here's the first clue some people even consider the place "the Garden of Eden" in the country.
take a guess!

I am not much of an explorer. It is just chance that in chasing my passion for photographing old steam engines I have visited Bacolod, as Negros was the main centre for narrow gauge railways servicing the sugar cane industry. The other area that used narrow gauge railways to bring the sugar cane to the mills was Pampagna on Luzon, I do not think there is much left there. Though sugar cane is grown elsewhere in the Philippines the use of railways to take the cane to the mill was not so popular.

I do enjoy travel and hope to visit Java, Indonesia, next year or the year after. It is home to a number of narrow gauge sugar cane railways.

Hi Angel

That was a tricky one. Have you been to Camaguin? It is an island I want to visit. I would never have solved the mystery without your clue and help from Google. I think it is the sunken cemetery on Camaguin Island.

hello Chas!

yes it is in Camiguin Island. no i wasnt in there but i wanted to go there someday because i wanted to take a picture in the center of the cross.

[Chas]

I forgot about this photo. Were was I when I took this photo. To make it easier, it is somewhere on the island of Negros:

hi Chas!
the picture was taken in Dumaguete.
Sisters of St Paul Statue in Dumaguete, often called the "Sisters Statue" Seven Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, set sail from Saigon and arrived in Dumaguete.

i know that was in dumaguete, but then angel has the first to answer she got online first maybe i try to be online as early as angel but i have a baby to take care first

[angel]

hi cheryz?

have you been in there? in dumaguete? me ive been there with my friendship in college life, all you wanted is to explore and enjoy life, and have fun every moment of it.

[Chas]

Sakto.............................. Correct................. It is on the promenade in Dumaguete.

I was beginning to think that Cheryz and Angel were related as you both seemed to be in Manila at the same time (unless there is another Mall of Asia in another city), but maybe not in view of Angel's question about Dumaguete.

Dumaguete was the only place I have stayed in the Philippines where I had cockroaches in the room. To be more exact in the CR. The hotel was a dump that had seen better days. I was hoping for one of the nicer rooms that looked out to sea, but I was in a ground floor room at the back. There was a very nice coffee shop in Dumaguete, not one of the big chains like Bos or Starbucks.

I was not long in Dumaguete, just long enough to visit the sugar cane railway at Bais.
