Going to Baguio... yahooo!!!

[godfather]

My family and I make it a point to go up to Baguio every christmas season. This year we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We left manila nung December 21 at around 3 a.m. and left Baguio nung December 23 around 2 p.m.. Oo nga, bitin. Sa layo kasi its better kung tipong one week ang stay dun. There are a lot of new and old places na masarap puntahan. Syempre depende yung places of interest kung single ka or family man but in general, enjoy pa rin talaga. The cool weather and scenery, pang-vacation talaga... it's kinda odd lang siguro na meron na SM dun... Yoko naman maging hypocrite, I mean yeah sure, ok din kasi dumami yung choices na pwede kainan like yellow cab, kitaro etc....meron din fubu and malaking grocery but having a mall there defies the whole point na "city of pines" yun... Pagpunta nga namin sa mines view to beat the hustle and bustle ng mall, commercial naman ng SM yung nasa radio... #&%$*

but like I said, going to Baguio is still worth it.

If you plan to go here in baguio, the hotel rates are expensive specially at seasons. The wise thing to do is transient. Go to Burnham Park and look for a person who's giving a transient house. Its cheaper (P250.00/night at most) and you own the house or the whole room.

Kami rin po galing baguio. left manila at dec 26. grabe ang traffic sa nlex pa lang ang daming detour! sa tarlac city pa traffic din! pinakagrabe sa urdaneta..stop over namin dapat sa urdaneta pa pero di na kami aabot sa luisita na lang.

nasubukan ko rin sa baguio yung carnival namin. yakang-yaka! kahit 10 persons + cargo . with extra power to overtake slow moving vehicles.

punta kami PMA, mines view, session road(ukay-ukay), botanical garden, camp john hay, strawberry farm sa la trinidad, baguio cathedral, st. joseph church, burnham park. etc etc.

grabe lang nung dec 30 pauwi 8 hours inabot. nahuli pa kami color coding pala kami nun.hehehe

pero nonetheless enjoy! miss ko na yung aircon na hindi pwedeng hinaan. hehehe

[Prometheus]

The korean guy left the korean girl naked in the CR, girls going to the CR saw the guy leaving and they also saw the girl totally naked sitting on the floor.

Try ninyo sto. tomas radar station, entrance is at green valley marcos highway tapat ng petron. if you have a 4x4 drive up to the end of the road (7,100 ft. above sea level) sa relay station ng ABS-CBN/RPN 9/IBC 13. there you'll have a great view of Dagupan and the China sea coastline. mababait ang mga personnel ang stations a ito and they are more willing to tour you around the area.

Also, Ambuklao Dam/lake is a good place to go. 1 1/2 drive from the rotunda (same one going to Mines view) by 4x4 or 2 1/2 hr by car.

[NightRock]

[zanch]

Hay! excited na ako umakyat Baguio! Ganda kaya weather ngayon? Balita ko umuulan ulan daw.:worried:

[pissword]

Hi, we will be going to baguio this weekend.. anu masasuggest na hotel??

im leaning towards El Cielito inn ok ba dito?? btw, its my first time to drive papuntang baguio, ok lang naman dumaan ng kennon road?

[BlueBimmer]

oi i miss baguio na...

[pissword]

sir bluebimmer anung hotel kayo tumitira doon na ok?

Hotel Veniz or El Cielito Inn?

[falken]

sir bluebimmer anung hotel kayo tumitira doon na ok?

Hotel Veniz or El Cielito Inn?

Matraffic sa Hotel Veniz, but it's in the heart of the city, near Session and the City Market. El Cielito naman is located at a much quieter location.
If you're going to Baguio now, I would suggest you take Marcos Highway, it's much safer during rainy days, pagmalakas ulan kasi baka magkalandslide sa Kennon.

[pissword]

ok sige i think il go for hotel veniz para walk walk nalang pagdating sa gabi...

[baiskee]

ayaw mo sa manor? mas tahimik...malayo lang nga...di pwede walk-walk kasi madilim pag gabi.

ageree with flaken, marcos highway ka na lang mas maluwag pa...

PM mo si diesoline kung gusto mo ng guide. hehe

[pissword]

umuulan ba doon now? il decide kung sa kennon or sa marcos pagpapunta na hehehe.. gusto ko sa kennon kasi ang view nga... dahan dahan nalang ako. pero depende pa if its raining pagdating ko ng la union then i think marcos hiway ako dadaan if not then il pass through kennon siguro.

bibili ako ng map now para makita ko ang layout ng baguio city hehehe adventure na naman uli, last time kasi i took the bus lang eh.

sa monday naman coding yung car, kaya pag nag city tour kami we will just hire an FX siguro to take us around the famous tourist spots.

ang problema sa manor, 4K kasi ang rate nila, eh dalawang room kami kaya mahal. tsaka gusto ko yung sa malapit lang sa sentro para naman mabilis lang maglakad along session and sa may burnham park

[amboy]

umuulan ba doon now?

nope... not raining for the past few days now. looks like this is going to hold up in the next few days.
