PHILIPPINES and INDONESIA'S
UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES

This page will feature the Unesco World Heritage Sites I have visited. As of June 2014 I have visited four world heritage sites. Two of them are in the Philippines, Paoay Church and Historic Town of Vigan in Ilocos. In Indonesia I have visited the Borobudur and Prambanan Temples in Yogyakarta. I plan to continue visiting World Heritage Sites this year. My target for 2014 is to visit at least three. Melacca and George Town, Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca in Malaysia, Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park in the Philippines.
