25 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Travel To The Philippines

in #photography8 years ago

What comes to mind when you think of the Philippines? Tropical sands, natural wonder, delectable food, and friendly locals. Sure, there’s all that, but we’re here to tell you exactly why you SHOULD absolutely cancel your plans of coming to the Philippines and pick another less overwhelming place.

  • You’ll spend way too much money on sunscreen.

Alt Text

  • 7,107 islands of the same old boring stuff. Nothing to see here.

Alt Text

  • You’ll get bored to death of the thousands of beaches.

Alt Text

  • You’re better off watching Natural Geographic if you want to see the marine life here.

Alt Text

  • Heck, who wants to swim with the sharks anyway? No one, that’s who!

Alt Text

  • Love climbing mountains? Philippine mountains are nothing special.

Alt Text

  • Want to check out some hills? I’m sure there are anthills that look like this in your own back yard!

Alt Text

  • The Philippines has the world’s smallest primates, but who cares, right?

Alt Text

  • It has an island inside a lake. And the lake is in a volcano. And that volcano is in a lake. And that lake is on an island. Too much of a headache, right?

Alt Text

  • Want to see some natural wonders? There’s none to see here!

Alt Text

  • The Philippines is totally old school. They didn’t even bother to renovate their 16th century streets!

Alt Text

  • And for transportation? They still use horses! The audacity!

Alt Text

  • There is absolutely no trace of modernization in the Philippines. None whatsoever.

Alt Text

  • Every square inch of the Philippines is filled with smog, trash, and dust!

Alt Text

  • Every. Square. Inch. Nature’s pretty much dead here.

Alt Text

  • With all of the colonization that happened, the Philippines has no semblance of its own culture!

Alt Text

  • And those fiestas! These glorified street parties are just going to give you a headache with so many people and so many colors!

Alt Text

  • Don’t get us started on the food because it’s basically either stuffed with all sorts of sugar…

Alt Text

  • Or made with all the things that will clog your arteries.

Alt Text

  • Even their stews are filled with so many ingredients, you won’t even know what you’re eating!

Alt Text

  • And let’s talk about art. There is no artistry here in the Philippines.

Alt Text

  • Not even a trace of creativity when it comes to architecture!

Alt Text

  • Music is also basically dead, too. No interesting local artists whatsoever.

Alt Text

  • You know the one thing that’s going to happen if you set foot in the Philippines? Other than the hospitality, the sights, the food, and the culture?

Alt Text

  • You’ll never, ever want to leave!
