Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

Holiday Shopping at Christmas Bazaars and Tiangge
For shopaholics and regular holiday shopping needs alternatives to the much too crowded Divisoria (where it's really hard to squeeze yourself in to Tutuban Mall, 168 Shopping Mall, and 999 Mall): Christmas bazaars sprouting all over Metro Manila. Do your shopping now and send some to Tutubi :P
Before you "turn the page," did you know that the word bazaar came from the Persian word bazar with etymological origin meaning "place of prices"?
List of Christmas Bazaars in Metro Manila (you may add some if Tutubi missed any)
Buy Pinoy Exporters Fair Location: SM Megatrade Hall 2, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong Bazaar Hours: 9am-9pm (SM Mall Hours)
Greenhills Night Market Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan Open: 6:30 to 11:30pm
Mercato Centrale Location: Bonifacio High Street (inside those tents behind The Spa) Bazaar Hours: 7 am - 12nn
