Experience Baguio

Need directions, pictures and descriptions of Baguio landmarks? I'll try to provide you with some as I know how important it is to get at least some knowledge kung saan ka pupunta dito sa Baguio.

Sa loob ng mahigit dalawamput isang taon, inakala kong nalibot ko na at nakita ang buong kagandahan ng Baguio. Mula high school hanggang kolehiyo hanggang ngayong nagtatrabaho na ko, Baguio lang talaga ang aking pasyalan, kung kailangan kong mapag isa o may ka-date man, dito lang sa mga parke, mall at sinehan ng Baguio kami pumupunta. May mga pagkakataon na ang mga ka-date ko ay nabobore na bakit daw di man lang kami lumabas ng Baguio at mamasyal sa ibang lalawigan at siyudad… eh sagot ko mahal na mahal ko ang Baguio, mali ba na lagi na lang dito? Hehehe ang katotohanan wala akong budget at wala akong kamuwang muwang kung saan pwedeng pumunta mamasyal at kung paano.

Minsan binalak naming lumabas at mamasyal sa Pangasinan, madami ding magagandang lugar doon lalo na mga baybayin. Sa kasamaang palad, nahirapan kaming lumibot libot dahil kulang ang aming kaalaman at lubhang malalayo pala ang distansya ng bawat lugar. Kung sana may mga materyal sa internet na pwedeng basahin at unawain para magabayan ang mga simpleng turistang gaya ko… ito na marahil ang nag udyok sakin para gumawa ng isang blog tungkol sa pamamasyal sa aking pinaka mamahal na Baguio. Kung kayo man ay galing pa ng ibang lugar o taga Baguio na mismo na gaya ko ay akalang nagsawa na sa mga tourist spot, ay tsk tsk tsk… sa tingin ko kelangan nyong pagmasdan ang mga ito ng mas maigi, ang experience ng pamamasyal sa Baguio ay iba sa bawat pagkakataon.
