Baguio 2012

This last week, me and my office mates decided to go to Baguio for the long weekend. Here are the highlights of the trip:

Day 1

SM City Baguio

The ambiance of this mall is very different from the other SM malls. The place is very open, very cool without any air conditioning needed, and has a very nice view of the area outside.

Mr. Kimbob

For lunch that day, we ate at the food court. I had a Bibimbap from Mr. Kimbob. A very heavy, satisfying, and healthy meal packed with vegetables at only P99. Sulit.

Session Road

We walked up and down this road lots of times and there are a lot of stuff to see, shops to visit, and places to eat at.

Oh My Gulay

We paid a visit here after climbing a long staircase and it was worth it. The ambiance is very amazing. It has a very cultural, indigenous feel to it. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Burnham Park

A trip to Baguio wouldn't be complete without visiting this place. We took a walk around the park, took a lot of pictures, did some skating, and rode the bump cars.

Good Taste

We went here for dinner and just by looking at the line outside, you'd know that the food is worth the wait.

The place is perfect for having dinner as a group: big servings, delicious, an affordable.







Day 2
After a cool morning walk along U.P. Baguio and SM City Baguio, we took a cab to Camp John Hay.

Little John's

They give you placemats and crayons while waiting for your food. If they like your drawing, they frame it on their wall! We all got the restaurant's bestseller, the Baby Back Ribs.

Tree Top Adventure Baguio

While the guys went on this adventure, the girls went on to visit Mine's View Park. So I didn't get to see the view there, but hey, I did enjoy the experience here. First up: The Tree Drop. This is just a split-second free fall but the whole experience is exhilarating.

Next would be a long walk to the zipline. I've experienced better ones, but the zipline here was a good one for P350. They strap you in, pull you back up the other side, then you zip your way back.

Mines View Park

Like I said, I didn't get to see the view itself. By the time we caught up with the girls, we only had time to buy pasalubong at Good Shepherd. But I did manage to have a picture taken with the St. Bernard! :)

50's Diner

This place is amazing. Neon lights, old-fashioned music, movie posters from the 50's, a jukebox (if only it was restored), and the crew in an old-fashioned, American diner uniform.

The burger is ok. Tastes like any other regular burger in my opinion. But the huge serving size and the affordable price makes it very notable. And eating them in this ambiance? It's amazing.





That's basically it. We had to prepare early the next day for the long bus ride back to Manila. Thanks for reading! Eto pasalubong! :)
