Boracay Philippines

This party island with snow white sand and clear turquoise blue sea is paradise with a kick! One side of the beach is full of cool restaurants ranging from the cheap beach side snack bar to five star service and hotels ranging from shack to luxury condominiums and the other side is hip kite surfing dudes battling a wild wind that only seems to hit their side of the island. Shoppers will fill their suitcases with cheap and pretty products from the  daily market. The centre of the island screams poverty with the stagnant rancid water and rundown cardboard villages.
