After two months almost coming back from Bali, I have settle some ideas about Bali and I would like to share with you my opinions.
Bali is one of the most famous islands in the South East Asia. It belongs to Indonesia, and it is the most common touristic area in this country.
Very famous for surfing, Australians and surfers from everywere meet in Bali to enjoy it brave waters in the south. Kuta, is the main meeting point but you can find several places around. North part is famous for diving and you can find very beautiful diving points.
Well. That is a small summarize about what you can find in Bali. Surf, beaches, nature and party.
Now I want to give some details about the quality in the environmental care. Probably I have been in the most dirty beaches in my life. Not because Indonesian people is dirty. Because sea give back to us our own rubbish.
Several beaches are not developed yet and you can go there to have a relaxing day around nature. The problem is that you will find a lot of kind of rubbish on the sand because no one cares and clean the beaches.
For example, what happend to us in Soka beach. Black sand beach with beautiful landscape but full of plastics. Picture on the right side shows the beach when you get there. Picture on the left side shows what you will find if you walk a little bit around the beach.
As follows you have two pictures showing what kind of plastic and rubbish, even toys parts as wheels.
There is a fishermenvillage on this beach what incrementsthe rubbish on this beautiful beach because they bring it on their nets.
At least some locals try to pick up some rubbish as you can see in the last picture.
Now we have to be concious that beautiful places on earth, are being damage because of our actions.
I will publish more posts about other different beaches.
Greetings from the Philippines!!

In one of my trips around The Philippines I went to Moalboal. Moalboal is a small village 2 hours from Cebu that have a lot of famous diving spots. I went to have some beers one of the days and I found plastic plants made from plastic bottles. It is not the most fancy plant, but definetly is a good way to reuse a plastic bottle in an environmental friendly establishment.
En uno de mis viajes alrededor de Filipinas fui a Moalboal. Moalboal es un pequeño pueblo a unas dos horas de Cebu, y es conocido mundialmente por el submarinismo. Uno de los días fui a tomarme una cerveza a uno de los bares del pueblo y encontré las siguientes plantas hechas con botellas de plástico. No es la manera más a la moda, pero sin duda es una manera inteligente de decorar un eco-establecimiento.
Here I go with Monday post. I was at Manila few weeks ago and I went to see the beautiful sunset on the bund. Here you have a beautiful picture I took there while the sun was being extinguish by the power of the ocean. This is awesome...
But when sun has gone, we have another reality over there. We can find a lot of rubbish just there, were the sea and the land share a piece of space. Obviously, this rubbish has been delivered by ocean. Maybe you think I am very focus on rubbish from the oceans, but the true is that everywhere I go, I find thousands of kilos of it. And it makes me wonder if I am alone in this fight... I will never give it up, and I will share thousands of times more if I keep finding it.
As I was explaining you in a previous post, The Philippines is taking a lot of care about environmental issues. The intention is good, but sometimes the country is not prepared and you can still seeing not very good things.
We can start with a very good thing. Very close to Intramuros(old downtown) there is an avenue where Filipinos can ask for plant their own tree to fight against the global warming. Here you have some pictures of the avenue and one of the trees. Definitely, every city in the world should copy this great idea from our friends.
As you can see, it is a lot of rubbish on a beach that should be very clean for high budget tourism. But it is not.
They could not believe it and somehow, they did not understand why we were doing this.
A lot of work from every of us to educate people for this. Fortunately, I can say that Philippines is different. I have seen good behaviours here and I will share with you asap.
For example, what happend to us in Soka beach. Black sand beach with beautiful landscape but full of plastics. Picture on the right side shows the beach when you get there. Picture on the left side shows what you will find if you walk a little bit around the beach.
