arrived in baguio at 4am. a hilly city with elevation more than 1000m. freezing. i waited at the bus terminal for sunrise. then asked my way to another bus terminal which had the buses to my next stop, sagada , a hill village tons of praises heaped on by tourists and guide books.

bus pulled out of baguio.

exploring the town sagada

the town center with town hall , bus terminal , eateries and some travel agents.

Wait, they did allow you to take the mountains' path. Isn't it restricted or you'll pay a fee or something

Very interesting read. I have been excited reading about your adventures in Philippines. But you have to put in more effort in your adventures. I know some actions in foreign countries like Philippines maybe dangerous but you have to still do something very interesting before the 20th that will blow your mind when u remember and our minds while we read.

You need ideas ? You could go to a party, you know something fun/interesting, you could offer to work for a fast food or somewhere for free .

Just a suggestion anyway

they have already rounded many other places to be "sights" which a tourist needed to pay to see, such as the hanging coffin , the underground cave and river rafting , even the terrace rice field trekking. but this comonplace small hill and another one or two places were left out of their range.

this journey was done in 2018, how can i do anything to blow your mind right now ?

what do you mean by work for a fast food ? i did try their mock-Mc Donald style fast food, very plain taste.

and you think a party is more exciting than to bang a girl , who i already banged on day 10 ?

Nigeria is even better than all this countries, just look at their out dated vehicles

Wow 2018 you kept all this records in order. Did you see any intercontinental restaurants there. As for the girl was she an African you met there or those Philippines excorts girls

It seems Nigeria is better than Phillipine
