Wright Park is another famous park in Baguio City, Philippines. It is known as the "Pool of Pines" and it is one of the most beautiful and relaxing parks in Baguio. It is located on the Eastern part of the City and it's just in front of the Mansion. Just cross the street and you can visit the two famous sites in Baguio.



I think it's more beautiful if the water is clear. Anyway, it's still a great place for taking a walk with your loveone while holding hand in hand. Or just relax and feel the beauty of the nature. It's so relaxing and comfortable to walk here in the park.



Actually I didn't have any plan on which site I had to visit. I just take a taxi or take a jeepney and when I see the signs of the jeepney, I tell the driver and will ask him to get me off. It's not hard for a tourist to stay in Baguio because the sites are close to each other and there are many transportations that you can use. In my case, we waited for a jeepney at the Botanical Garden, then I saw a sign that the jeepney will stop at the Wright Park so I told the driver to get me off there. Just simple as that.



I don't know how it happens. Anyway, we got off the jeepney, looked around, and then climbed up the stairs and we reached the park (pictures on top). And then, in front is the Mansion.



Wright Park is also the best place for horseback-riding.

One of the most popular attractions to visit in Baguio is Camp John Hay. It is former rest & recreation facility for American soldiers in Asia. It is also called the "Little America". I heard that there are two entrances going to Camp John Hay. But because it was my first time in Baguio, I don't know anything in Baguio so I usually take a taxi when I go to some famous places that I wanted to visit. So, I took a taxi and I don't know which gate the driver took me.

Camp John Hay is too big that we couldn't look all around because we didn't have enough time. But I can say that we had a good time and it was relaxing to sit under the trees. It is also a great course for walking. It's cool and relaxing.



If you're tired walking around, just ride a horse. And that's guy whose taking care of the horses well.



The beautiful trees which I think is so romantic to walk with your loveone while holding hands. Or just play or tell stories under the trees.





The gate is too far to walk with so we waited for a taxi to come. There are many taxi drivers who get inside to take their passengers so you can just wait inside if you're tired of walking.



You can just sit back and relax under the trees while waiting for a taxi. You won't get bored. Never!

Another famous attraction in Baguio is the Mines View Park. I took a taxi to the park. From downtown, I think I paid about 200 pesos. It's not about the taxi fee, it's about the beautiful scene that I have seen in Mines View Park. I traveled a lot. I've traveled to different countries and I can say that Mines View Park is one of the best place that I've been to. It's much better than the places that I've visited in some other countries.

Can you see the beautiful view? Yes, this beautiful view is only seen in Baguio. Only in Baguio, Philippines. No wonder why it is famous for Filipino and Foreign Tourists.







If you wanna have a photo souvenir, these horses are ready to be ridden for picture-taking. Just pay 10 pesos for each picture taken.



Outside the park are lots of stores where you can buy souvenirs from Baguio or the park itself. There are lots of stores with lots of stuffs to buy in a very affordable prices. I think it's the best place to shop for souvenirs.

Baguio is famous for strawberries so don't forget to visit the Strawberry Farm if you're in Baguio. It's a very memorable experience to pick some strawberries specially for kids. From downtown, we took a taxi to Strawberry farm because I don't know how to get there. I paid about 150 pesos to the farm. It's more expensive to pick some strawberries than to buy in the market but it's the experience that count. Besides, you can eat as much as you can while picking so if you love strawberries, you can save more. I recommend you to eat as much as you can and just bring the ones that you are going to pay. If you buy in the market it's just 50 pesos per kilo but if you pick, you have to pay 200 pesos.

Anyway, here's where we can pick strawberries. It's hot but it's fun. The owner will give you a small box or basket where you can put the strawberries. Then you have to pay depends on how much you want. In my case, I paid a kilo but we were full before we left the farm.









And here's the market just next to the farm. A market where you can buy some strawberry products like strawberry jam, fresh strawberries, strawberry ice cream, etc.

Okie, Okie... I already told my boss that I'm gonna quit my job. We got the airplane ticket and we're just gonna wait for our flight schedule. It still takes long but it's better to reserve now than to be late. We already paid for our ticket and everything is already planned. My boss thought that I'm gonna stay here in the Island until May because that's what I have told him when he hired me. He said he can't do anything but to hire another worker to take over my position. Well, I'm ready and I just need to wait for a new employee so I can leave. Anyway, Im gonna stay here in the Island until March but my hubby told me to work just until next month or it's better if I could quit earlier. I have discussed it to my boss and he said I can leave as soon as a new worker comes.

Hmmm... I feel sad and happy at the same time. I'm sad because even it's irritating sometimes, my working place serves as my second house here in Jeju Island. But I'm happy too because I don't have to get up early, I can take a rest and I can stay with my hubby all day. hehe...
