@joe_markwickАй бұрын
July is rainy season so it’ll be a bit hit and miss. Will generally chuck it down for an hour and then be sunny the rest of the day so not too bad. Driving a scooter without a licence will be fine, didn’t see a police officer on the island tbh

@@MrWackydoodlesWhy do you think someone hurt me? I'm just send the ACTUAL Footages of some surfing spots in indo, which is not the New Bali in our term. You want to see them or not, it's all up to you. Some are really serious into surfing, and i would say it's a scam to compare siargao to Bali in term of surf destination, because it's not on same spectrum regarding the surf potentials and you give people false expectation by doing so, and we're not even talking about unique cultural sites that Bali could offers. Sorry, but i think i'm just being true, i'm not the one who lied here.
