Wow..its really sprawly. I was hoping for more greenary....sad that it became sprawly. I wish they stuck to the original masterplanning by Burham (am i right?). But anyways, its a great city in the mountains. I love the last few pics. green green green:D

I think it should stay a green garden city but develop by having modern facilities in the city.A tram perhaps?

when i first went i was a little bit dissapointed by the fact it looks a little bit grimy on the hillsides ,but i can see a bright future instore....

wahh great pics! :okay: Baguio looks soo different from when i was last there (in 1996) LOL next time i'm home i'm gonna get my a$$ on that Victory Liner bus for the 8 hr trip from MM (Yes i am aware i could just take the plane and arrive there 30 mins later, but i wanna save up for the Horse/Pony ride :lol: plus i like the scenery along the way PLUS the balut at the pit-stops :eat: ) and snap away once i'm there ;) wahh! GREAT PICS AGAIN THUNDERFLIP! :D

there's a lot of greenery in parks, grottos, etc. but when you reach the build-up areas, it becomes really built-up...

Great pics. It is wonderful to spend vacation here From the view of colorful life and ever-green nature.

When I went here as a small child my cousins told me the Igorots were cannibals. I was terrified of them the whole time we were there.

that was funny

Wow!! this town looks great for a small place. I like it a lot

nice pics :)

waah!!! Baguio! It's really beautiful in those pictures... Too bad I haven't been there, yet.... hehehehe.... must save money for a December trip... hehehe

http://www.clickthecity.com/img2/cityshots/20040910.jpg

nice city with beautiful landscape.:) somehow it reminds me of S. American city.
:okay:

@ kiku: Yah, it looks like an S. American city. btw, is it similar to Chiangmai?

Baguio City is overpopulated. It needs redevelopment. :D

Beautiful! Baguio is really stunning...the Americans really did well in developing this city.

nice city with beautiful landscape. somehow it reminds me of S. American city.
Yeah, looks like a little La Paz or Santa Fe de Bogota

When I went here as a small child my cousins told me the Igorots were cannibals. I was terrified of them the whole time we were there.

Haha! The Igorots were never cannibals. They were headhunters however but that was long ago.

What's so pretty with Baguio? It pales in comparison to exotic La Paz. Baguio today is like Manila's chaotic Quiapo placed on top of a mountain. Over-populated. Daily traffic jams. Lots of dirty/ rusty-looking buildings. Irritating site of tin-roofed houses covering the entirety of a couple of mountains. There's only one thing I like about Baguio -- the year-round cool weather.

^^I'm gonna be there this late April. I just hope that our tour won't be cancelled.

Da lat, Vietnam should be Baguio's twin city hehe..

although it's getting ugly and dirty day by day

Yeah, that's a beautiful town you've got there! Probably even better without all the pollution and overcrowdedness. These two cities should establish a sister citihood pact

Wow Baguio really looks like Dalat, i mean the church the pine trees even the ethnic people and the strawberry lol

TALKING ABOUT BAGUIO’S OMG, OH MY GULAY
It’s not your ordinary cafeteria. Another tourist spot people should be aware about. Their menu is anything but a perfect meal for those with hungry tummies. Oh My Gulay is certainly one of the most promising restaurant emerging in the city of Pines. I was very delighted to be able to visit a vegetarian restaurant in Baguio City. Baguio is known for its fresh vegetables so I would not be surprised if they serve such a yummy and delicious vegetable meals .

A BLISSFUL WEEKEND IN BAGUIO
This is just a continuation of my recent trip to Baguio last weekend. Our first day in Baguio was a blast. For our second day, I am not going to take so much of your time, so without further ado , my story begins here.—

I woke up so bright and early that morning and went to the lobby waiting for the rest of the company to take our breakfast . After breakfast, We headed to Orchidarium , A sanctuary of beautiful flowers

After an awesome trip in zambales where I first conquered Mount Pundaquit, rediscovered Anawangin, explored beautiful Nagsasa , Breathtaking view of Capones and a special trip to Mount Pinatubo , I am going to touch base with you what was going in the last couple of days. (Drum roll) Sharing you my unforgettable trip in Baguio with some of the best and coolest bloggers in the country today. Thanks to Eurotel for the wonderful treat last weekend.



I must say , I am beginning to tell myself I have a new place to call “My Home”again. And that is Baguio!
