We seem to be having a lot of Visitors in Dumaguete that are members here. Some have asked questions on many things. We can all say a lot on this subject but I thought this may be of Interest to those and even some of the Other members, we have over the last year or two had some Write ups but this one is one of the best I have seen for some time. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I felt it deserved a mention

It is a very nice write up with very nice pictures,no garbage to be seen anywhere! Did the sweepers come along and clean up before hand?

There's a feeling of timelessness to Dumaguete City, embedded in its sea-swept promenade, narrow streets and folksy buildings. There's a sweetness to the place, of the kind you'd expect from a smaller provincial town rather than a big city. Then again, Dumaguete isn't exactly what you'd call a big city.

People had told me a few things about Dumaguete before my visit. One, that it was a college town, home to the venerable Silliman University, established on these shores by Americans in 1901.

In light of that, it made sense to hear that Dumaguete was an abode for writers and artists. And it was a popular retirement locale, especially among expats. No doubt both the retirees and the creatives basked in the town's resort-like serenity.

'd visited Dumaguete because of what I'd heard – I was dying to see whether it was the enchanting place I'd imagined out of the snippets I'd learned. I left with an impression of a city more complex than I'd expected. I admire its historical trappings, its leisurely atmosphere, its distinctive character. But other observations bring some uncertainty.

I breezed through the article. Most of it not really my cup of tea or was about stuff I had already done.

Note: Throwing a few lines paragraphs, along with a link, of the original article together with a few of you own thoughts/opinions about the article/topic helps people get an idea what the article is about and falls within "fair use" on copyright law.

I'm going to create a thread on this for further clarification.
