1. That real
‘tropical island feeling’ – lazy, fun and cheap
2. A lot of
sights to see – the Santo Nino Basilica, the Taoist temple) easy to
put together a program of activities
3. Cebu City is a much more
pleasant city than Manila (though much smaller)
4. The beautiful
beaches (Malapascua, Bantayan, Camotes, Moalboal, Oslob) and the tiny
island of Kalanggaman
5. Lots of cheap markets
6. The scuba
diving area
7. Travel on jeepneys, which are well-maintained

1. Unpleasantly
heavy traffic in Cebu City
2. Tricky taxi drivers - you’ll be charged more than what you should’ve paid
3. Sewer
stink and dirt in a lot of places
4. The sight of poverty
5. A
lot of stray dogs
6. There are some trash-filled beaches
7. Too
many men wolf-whistle any attractive female, and are aggressively
pushy, even if she’s not drawn to that ‘technique’
8.
Feeding whale sharks as a tourist spectacle is, from an ecological
point of view, not a great idea
9. Slums, child beggars in Cebu City
10. Many locals lack basic manners
