Tam-awan Village. The native village of the arts.
Hidden from the busy Session Road is the rich cultural heritage of Baguio. Nope, you don't have to go up Cordillera mountains to find it. It's just nearby. Calling you. "This is the real Baguio before the Americans came. Not Burnham Park."

Baguio Public Market. The final call.
First thing Anthony Bourdain does wherever he goes is to visit the market. Likes to experience the sights, the sounds, the excitement. Sadly, he never had the chance to visit Baguio market. He would have enjoyed it. Tourists do. But residents? Been there done that.

Tea House. Baguio party kitchen.
Having a party? Baguio folks go straight to Teahouse. Why cook when you can buy it cheap and ready to go. No hassle. Better go there early during weekends and holidays. Long line. Get a number and wait.

The bet to finish Kennon Road.
Bet you didn't know this. The 40-kilometer Kennon Road in the 1900s was built in just 18 months. Then Governor General Forbes challenged the builder that he cannot finish it on time. A proud military guy, Kennon accepted the bet. And won.
