Welcome to the forum roylaneroy, for me/us Baguio is a nice place to visit and less than 2 hours away but by choice we prefer the beach and quiet, no belching jeepney's nor roosters or barking dogs. Our bit of paradise. Quiet.The land prices seem ... Read More

Yes Aidan, especially for the Philippines and 14 or 15 buck ticket is cheap insurance if you don't intend to leave for some time. Funny last time we were in Hong Kong no one asked for an exit ticket either there or here in PH. Normally they do. ... Read More
