NOT FEAR FACTOR


lunchbox goodies


tom is a seasoned traveler and he loves to go off the beaten path. he has been to isolated places like the solomon islands, where spent two weeks alone fishing. nine years ago, he and his assistant have braved the jungle of mount kanlaon, negros occidental to shoot a hundred year-old tree for the department of tourism. and in 2008, he traveled to freezing mongolia where he found inspiration for his last 'frozen II' exhibit and experienced eating yak testicles. *bleech* lol! basically, when it comes to tom and traveling, anything goes.

so on this batanes trip, his advice to aryanna (and adventurers alike): "keep an open mind and an 'open' tummy!"

the rations
according to aryanna, eating yak testicles or any other reproductive parts of an animal is not an option on this trip. she made sure that her dad packed something, uhm... familiar. ha ha ha!

notice the big smile on tom's face? he's happy that there are restaurants now in batanes! lol! according to him, when he first visited the island twenty years ago, he could only buy food from sari-sari stores and fresh seafood from fishermen.
