If I am not mistaken, I have travelled to Baguio three times
already on my entire life.
The first instance was during my elementary days
with my relatives. Second one was during
my Senior High School Years as one of the delegates of our school. The last but
not the least was back in 2010 with a special friend.
Baguio City brought us to a different side of the Philippines,
where in we had experience a very chilly climate. During those years, visiting
the City in the North of Manila took us 6 to 7 hours travel time by bus. The customer service experience in the City
was outstanding. Taxi drivers were very polite and honest. First time I saw a mall which does not use
air con. The ukay-ukay there was filled with branded clothing and accessories.
We were able to visit the Strawberry Farm, Mines
View, Teachers Camp, Camp John Hay to name a few. We even went out late at night where we found
that the City nightlife was awesome.
The meal cost us around 80 PHP to 500 PHP depending on the location
and the type of foods you craved to eat.
The accommodation I have been too was quite different from
the first to the last visit. The first one was a private home with dormitory
type of accommodation and it’s free of course. The second is at teacher’s camp,
dormitory type again, miscellaneous fee at school. The last was a guesthouse a
few minutes down town. It cost around
1000 to 1500 PHP per room.
Overall, it was a worth it long drive away from home. It was
different from the usual feeling to be in the Philippines. It feels like we were overseas on a vacation.
