Tam-Awan Village: Baguio travel diary

Labels: Art / Culture / Places / Places: Baguio

I arrived in Baguio bus station a few minutes past 1 PM. For the day to be productive, I decided to visit Tam-awan village before looking for a hotel. Plus I needed to stretch, 6 hours travelling by bus is excruciating. Oh a little tip~ choose a seat at the very back of the bus – there's more leg room and it's not as bumpy as you think.

Tam-awan village was constructed for the purpose of educating about Cordilleran culture by making it accessible - location wise. They rebuilt and transported Ifugao houses from different parts of the Cordillera.

Oh My Gulay: Baguio

Labels: Food / Food: Baguio / Places / Places: Baguio

I am a real lazy blogger I know. This solo trip to Baguio was last July 2014 and I only got around to posting the pictures now. *heh* This is still part of my Where to Eat in Baguio series (links below).

After walking around Baguio for a whole day lugging around my backpack – because I run out of hotel money *haha* – this was my last stop before catching the bus ride home to Manila. It's really quiet here and you get a view of the city as it slowly fogs in the afternoon. I love the interior. Makes you want to build a crashed ship inside your own house too.

As you might have surmised, Oh My Gulay is a vegetarian restaurant. If you're looking for a light meal, you should definitely check this place out. It's also an art gallery and venue for music performances. I wasn't lucky on the latter though.

How to get here:
5th flr, La Azotea Bldg, Session Road, Baguio. (or Ask the vendors where La Azotea is located)

BAGUIO TRAVEL DIARY:

Good Food: Book Cafe Under the Tree

Labels: Food / Food: Baguio / Places / Places: Baguio

Baguio is made for walking. If you can manage it don't ride the taxi too much. It will deplete your money which is better off spent on food and souvenirs. And when you're tired from all the shopping and walking, try out this cute Korean style cafe beside SM Baguio.

Instantly, I fell in love with the interiors and all those books!! Then I realized majority were in Hangul. *lol* I am quite sure they said their menu is limited to drinks and cheesecake. I forgot the details now, it was raining when we got there so all we wanted were hot milktea. They don't offer full meals so better go there after you've eaten. Session Road is really near here so it's not going to be a problem. With all that being said I would still hang out here because of the green milk tea and the strawberry cheesecake. They were good!

Try it out when you're in Baguio. It's a fun place to chat with friends.

With my friend Q. I love this photo!

BAGUIO TRAVEL DIARY:

Good Food: 50's Diner Baguio

Labels: Food / Food: Baguio / Places / Places: Baguio

After flying solo last July, I went back to Baguio after 2 months; with my friends this time. First stop is 50's Diner. Though I initially didn't want to go (because I wanted somewhere less crowded), but the food and the place won me over.

It's open 7AM to 10PM. I think it's more charming at night though. Pretend you're in a scene from Back to the Future. haha You may have to wait a bit though because MANY people line up to eat here.

My friend and I ordered the same dish so we weren't able to try the other food on their menu. Plus the food portions are HUGE so we didn't order more. The price is super affordable. I payed 200Php+ for a full meal. If I was in a Manila restaurant I would probably pay 350Php+ for it. Totally worth it!

50's Diner

Address: Upper General Luna Road, Baguio City

How to get here: Ride a cab; 50-70php fare.

Solo Baguio trip July 2014

Labels: Art / Culture / Places / Places: Baguio

Sorry for the crickets on this blog. Haha. It's not because I have nothing to write. I just prefer to live my life each day rather than write about it. Plus I barely use my laptop for anything other than downloading songs and watching movies. I'm always on my phone.

Seriously thinking of switching to tumblr. Photos uploaded using the blogger app look wonky and tumblr is just so much easier to update. ( >.<) I'll fix this blog soon.

Meanwhile, here are some photos from my Baguio trip last July. ;) First time in a long while to travel solo. I missed the quiet panic of not relying on anyone but your own guts.

I made sure to experience the art and culture side of Baguio rather than the tourist attractions.
