Amazing! Yes it is, Steemian! I feel that I am part of the history when I got the chance to witness by myself when I had my tour in the island of Limasawa and was able to attend its spiritual 496th founding anniversary last March 31, 2017.

I am so excited that at last I had the utmost of my time travelling since mostly I engaged it on duties at work and studying with my Masters Degree. I got the chance to travel to the Island and I'm loving it so much because it was a time of adventure for my self (I am an adventurous person) and all the wind and breeze coming from the sea. Oh, it feels like a total relief from the city's lifestyle.

Holy Mass

When we got to the Limasawa Island, huge crowd of people fascinated the whole Island since it was the celebration of feast and a holy mass shrine was taken place.

I have got my first activity thrill there and was quite similar to mountain climbing, a very challenging and sweaty activity, the 450 steps to the first cross planted in the Philippine soil.

I feel blessed that I was able to experience this spiritual feel and I had my aimed adventure as well came into reality, a very memorable yet A very scenic treasure that one must have to experience once in a lifetime.

Hello @quifte.grafe, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
