CARLS by Chef Mikoy

🚗Originally, Zamboanga was one of my destinations, but later, due to some unexpected changes in the itinerary, I only had a three-hour transit here. The airport in the Philippines is very small, and I don&rsquo;t know why my next flight was delayed for half an hour, while the previous flight was half an hour earlier, so I planned to walk around the city, have a meal and drink coffee.

🚗It is said that the security in Zamboanga is not very good. Maybe today is Easter, and there are many police on the street. There are still many people outside in the daytime. I went to the pier for a walk, ate local fast food, and walked around the city for a while. It was too hot so I had to find a coffee shop. I feel that this place is quite clean (compared to Cotabato and Tawi-Tawi where I went before), and the buildings in the city are also very distinctive.

🚗It is worth noting that there are really a lot of Spanish here, and some places also have Chinese. It seems that it should be a place where cultures blend. Most people who come here go back to Santa Cruz Island. It is said that there is a pink beach, which is also a relatively niche attraction. I think it&#39;s nice to come and have a look, but you must be safe.
