Saturday morning (not too early), my roommate Dominic and I left the apartment in Tuding to get a jeepney ride into downtown Baguio City. We left the jeepney on General Luna road, passed through Shoppers’ Lane (shortcut), and further walked through throngs of people buying and selling chickens, eggs, butchered pigs, vegetables and more on our way to a bus depot bordering Center Mall. »→
Today Dominic and I rode a bus six hours from Baguio City to Sagada to see the sights here. We arrived at 4:30, found a hotel, ate dinner then moseyed down the main boulevard of this hamlet of 15,000 Igorots and Kankanaeys. I took pictures of kids playing on the street and the verge, and we inquired about where to go tomorrow for typical tourist activities. Current time is 7:55, and this internet cafe is about to close. In the off-season, restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops and convenience stores close between 7 and 9 p.m. The enforced curfew is 9 p.m.
