Butterfly Farm in Bohol, Philippines

By Jonny Blair


While touring round Bohol in the Philippines there is the option to visit a butterfly centre. It's called Flying Colours and the most surprising thing of all is that it's quite good and very enjoyable!



This was my first ever visit to a butterfly centre, what was it like? To get in you pay 35 Philippine Pesos, less than 1 $US so that was fine. You get a guided tour a local lady shows you the caterpillars and butterflies and takes you round, she can also help you take photos.

First section you see a range of caterpillars and you can hold them. Despite having seen numerous caterpillars in my time, this was the first time to see a 'big' caterpillar. In glass boxes they have various stages of the caterpillar development - from being a caterpillar, to eating, to being housed in a cocoon to releasing themselves as butterflies! These were all live insects ready to become butterflies, the time it takes for the transformation varies but most of the ones we saw would take just over two weeks to go from caterpillar to butterfly.

After that you can see the biggest butterfly in the Philippines, which has been preserved in a box. It's pretty big! Plus they have also preserved a moth, again photos are welcome and you can get fun ones taken to pretend you have butterfly wings!

At the end of the tour you are outside in the garden and you can see lots of butterflies of different colours and get photos of them. I totally love a lifestyle of travel and these places are really amazing to see.



What is it? Flying Colours Butterfly Centre

Where? The island of Bohol in the Philippines

Best way to reach it? You can hire a car or a bike if you want but basically just get a driver and a day tour of Bohol!

Admission price - 35 Philippine Pesos

The people that work there are all local

The Mini Hookah

By John McCree


What's So Special About a Mini-Hookah?

People appear to be putting mini with everything nowadays, mini golf, mini cooper and after that mini hookah. Common hookahs have some drawbacks. To deal with these disadvantages manufacturers of hookahs launched mini hookahs. What are the disadvantages of a conventional hookah?

The greatest disadvantage with a conventional hookah is the size. It is has a lot of elements and some of those parts are breakable. If you ever want to bring your hookah with you on a vacation or to a friend's home it would be extremely difficult; pretty much impossible.

However, this isn't the case with mini hookahs

At the time you purchase a mini hookah, you receive a travel case, which can be useful for quick and convenient packing of the hookah. The case also helps keep your hookah cleanly while not in use.

The top three benefits of mini hookahs are:

1. You can transport them easily

2. Occupies less space in the home

3. Very economical

And the Difference is...

What differentiates mini hookahs from the traditional hookahs is the size. There are some other differences between mini hookah and a conventional hookah.

The stem is considerably smaller in a mini hookah when compared with a traditional hookah. While an average hookah stem may comprise 50-75% of the total hookah height, it's typically less than 50% in a mini. The water jar is also a great deal smaller, and so is the length of the hose.

Having said that, there are a few aspects that are identical between a standard hookah and a mini hookah. For instance, the size of the bowl is the same as the typical hookah. Moreover, the duration of the smoking session is same and equal quantity of tobacco is used in both. And the diameter of the stem and hose remains consistent also. Or else, the hookah would limit air flow and not allow for a pleasant smoking experience. So you can say that mini hookah is a more compact traditional hookah, however, many parts of the hookah are kept consistent with its counterpart for the reasons of performance.

The Case You Will Get

As mentioned, a distinct advantage of the mini hookah is the option to carry it in the case for travel and protection purposes. There are various sizes and shapes in cases. Hard cases which look like small trunks are available for optimum protection. Like a trunk, a latch is used to lock the case. In the case, there are separate compartments for each part of the hookah. Since a few parts of a hookah are breakable, it is really worth to have a hard carry case for the hookah.

There are soft carrying cases as well. Just like hard cases, they often have several compartments to organize and keep hookah and accessories. Even though they lack some of the safety that hard cases provide, they are usually layered with some degree of padding for safety, and they are secured by a zipper.

As the main purpose of a mini hookah is to provide convenient transportation, carrying cases are sold with mini hookahs.

Finding A Mini Hookah

You can find a shisha shop locally and get yourself a good mini hookah. In case you are unable to find a hookah shop close to you, then you can buy a mini hookah from an online hookah store.

Have you ever tried to take your hookah with you on a vacation, business trip, or perhaps over to a friends' home? If yes, I'll bet you quickly realized that the pieces are complicated, awkward, and even fragile.

However, this isn't the case with mini hookahs

It is extremely convenient to take a mini hookah anywhere with you as it comes with a carrying case. The case likewise helps keep your hookah cleanly while not being used.

What are the benefits of mini hookah?

1. Easy to transport

2. Because it is "mini", it doesn't need a lot of space

3. Affordable

And the Difference is...

What distinguishes mini hookahs from the standard hookahs is the size. But, mini hookah isn't a proportionally small version of a hookah.

The stem is noticeably smaller in a mini hookah when compared with a traditional hookah. A typical hookah has a stem that makes up nearly 75% of the height of hookah, but in a mini hookah the stem is below 50% of the total height of the hookah. The size of the water jar is also smaller.

Some parts of a mini hookah are just equal or slightly smaller than a typical hookah. Such as, the size of the bowl is the same as the typical hookah. Furthermore, the length of the smoking session is same and equal quantity of tobacco is used in both. Other things that aren't different are the diameter of the hose and the diameter of the stem. Otherwise, the hookah would limit air flow and not allow for a good smoking experience. So you can say that mini hookah is a more compact traditional hookah, but some parts of the hookah are kept consistent with its counterpart for the reasons of performance.

The Carrying Case

As mentioned above one of the best benefits of a mini hookah is that it can be packed in a carry case. Much like hookahs, cases themselves can come in an abundance of styles and sizes. For maximum protection, hard cases are available, which look much like small trunks. They are generally secured by a latch, just like a trunk or travel suitcase, and have separate padded compartments for each part of the hookah. The most breakable components of a hookah are the bowl (made from clay) and water jar (made from glass), and because of its nature, the hard case provides great protection in the event the case is knocked or dropped.

You can also get soft cases in the market. Like hard cases, they usually have several compartments to organize and keep hookah and accessories. Even though they lack some of the protection that hard cases offer, they are normally layered with some degree of padding for safety, and they are secured by a zipper.

As the main purpose of a mini hookah is to offer convenient transportation, carrying cases are sold with mini hookahs.

Getting A Mini Hookah

If you're serious about physically looking for your own mini hookah, the best choice is to locate a hookah shop near you. If you are unable to find a hookah shop in your area, then you can purchase a mini hookah from a web-based hookah store.
