Living in Baguio City can be a lot different than the life you have in Manila or any other place. A lot of adjustments need to be made. This is true wherever you go. But, to experience the city in its full potential, here are some things you need to do to adjust smoothly to a new life in Baguio City.
Go out and familiarize yourself
Know the nearby stores and restaurants around your place and the stores where you can buy medicine, school or office supplies, and other necessities. This will be helpful because in case of any emergency, you’ll know where you can get the things you need. It is also good if you know their opening and closing times.
Learn how to go around the City
Make sure to take note of the jeepneys that pass by your area, know where their station is and how much you need to pay. If you are unfamiliar with the jeepney trips, you’ll get broke by riding the cab, or your feet will be sore because of walking.
Get used to cold water in the shower
Baguio water is mostly always cold. Remember, not all bathrooms have a hot shower. If you can’t get used to it, you’ll have to spend a lot of time heating your water before taking a bath.
Visit the market and cook your meals
Although there are a lot of great restaurants around the city, cooking your meals is still different. Baguio’s public market has a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and various meat options that will allow you to cook delicious, healthy food. Plus, you save a lot of money. You can even buy your own coffee beans and make your own coffee at home!
Don’t miss out on the Baguio nightlife
Whether it’s the party or the night market, make sure you go out at night every once in a while. There’s a lot you can do in Baguio during the evening, so make sure you explore!
