Here’s another Korean dead from swimming on Boracay. There have been a lot over the past few years and it makes ya’ wonder why its usually with snorkel gear.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch…. I was doing much better this morning but now I almost wish I could hurl. Some salty soup didnt do the trick like it should have. Some pickle juice had me feeling better for a while and the body was responsive too but that was short lived. It didnt help [...]
