Audissie Pension - 600 Peso Air and TV with Cable

I am in my Hotel in Puerto Princesa, the name is the Audissie Pension, I really have no exact idea where it is located. I went to the Backpacker Inn and it was only 150 Peso; however, the room seems sort of bleak and off the path. I decided to trust a good Taxi driver who said there was a room for 300 Pesos. When we go to that hotel they was full except for the 700 Peso, went to the Audisse next door and got a room for 600.

There are rooms for 300 though in the Hotel next door, it just looks like the place is very full. 600 Pesos is about 12 Dollars U.S. and I am trying to work, so nice to have a color TV and a little better feeling.

They have these cool motorcycle taxis, sort of like a Tuk Tuk from Thailand but really a motorcycle with a cart on the side. Another photo I can take of Taxis around the planet.

Palawan has a small town feeling however must be bigger than it feels; I think about 150,000 and that is larger. They have these taxis and I think this place will be ten times easier to travel around in than Manila.

I admire people who travel all their lives and make the World their own home...

Found your blog by chance and liked what I've seen :)

Greetings from Portugal!

Nice blog, I sometimes don't know where I am either. A taxi takes you somewhere and I guess you just have to figure it out the next day when it's light outside.

I think what you are referring to is called a tricycle cab, it varies from region to region in the Philippines.
