Baguio for the first time ;)

       It took me several hours to reach the summer capital of the Philippines, the city of Pines, Baguio! I went to the hotel right after we arrived, freshen up a little and prepared all the things I needed. Cap? Checked! Jacket? Checked! Camera? Checked! Financer (my mother)? Checked! Hahaha.. All set and I’m ready to go!

       First stop, SM Baguio, of all the beautiful places we opt to visit their mall first.  The mall doesn’t have air-condition (except for the department store), well, they could actually conserve a lot of energy, and besides who needs an air-con if you could actually freeze to death by just standing there, that’s how cold Baguio is.

   

          Next stop Philippine Maritime Academy (PMA). Armored cars, prototype airplanes and other PMA stuff being shown in the vicinity. It’s quiet amazing to see those uniformed good looking guys standing tall while walking in the area. Then I remember one Filipino movie that shows exactly what these guys are doing, so it’s true, what they've shown in the movie is real. 

         Then we went to Burnham Park.  They have this man-made lagoon built at the middle where tourist could actually rent a boat so they could fully enjoy the park. They also have these bicycles for rent which tourist could get for a certain amount so they can visit the whole area faster than walking. It was so crowded with people, boats are occupied, and bicycles for rent are all being used by tourists. So, we decided to just walk and took some pictures. I envy those tourists who rented the boat first, I wanted to wait and try it also but we don’t have any time anymore, maybe next time.
