What do you think of Baguio City as a place to live in? (Location: Philippines)

Igorot costume (Mines View Park, Baguio City) - This picture was taken at Mines View Park in Baguio City. We went there last summer. So tiring for a 3-day vacation but when you get to see the hot spots, you will surely be amazed.

Baguio City is the summer capital of the Philippines because of its cold weather. Even though it's summer, you will still love to stroll down along the city. Windy, sometimes foggy, and also has beautiful sceneries.

A few years ago I thought of living in Baguio. It seems so peaceful there. I also thought it would be quite relaxed living there because of the weather. I also thought it would be good for my health to stay in Baguio. Because of the cold weather, I will think of ways to get warm. So I will be forced to exercise. hahaha... And the cost of living in Baguio is less than what is in Manila. If only I can find a job there, I will definitely stay there.

Why don't you a find a job there? I think there are also companies in Baguio. Your field of expertise might be available in some of the companies there. Why don't you try so that you can live in Baguio for a long time..

I've been to Baguio for like.. 5 times last year? LOL! I went there February 2010 alone, feeling heart-broken since my BF of 4yrs broke up with me and I felt that I need some time alone XD I love Baguio but I don't think I can last there for 3 months. I'll miss malls here in Manila as well as SPA places! Lol! :P Other than that, I love Baguio :D I'm missing 50's Diner though. Their servings are HUMONGOUS!!!

You can't there for 3 months? I stayed there for 5 years! I am not a mall person. I am more inclined to bar hopping with my friends. We almost visit them every other night. Some with gigs, others just for relaxation. And when I'm alone, I spend my time walking along Session Road going to Burnham Park then back to the house. Well, as for you, it would be nice to visit Baguio every now and then. The last time I went there was April of last year. I was thinking when will I comeback again.

December is a good month to visit. Or January because it's a lot colder in January than December. Hope I can visit there too.

Haha I think that would depend on the situation. If it's NEEDED for me to stay more than 3 months, but aside from that, I'll really miss Manila :P I'm not of a bar-hopper type of person but I do love going to bars for some drinks and meet new people :D I also am missing Baguio a lot. I'm planning to visit during the "-ber" months :D

I think it's wonderful to live there. The longest Ive stayed in Baguio was just 1 week. We went there for a break. Lovely place, really. Bustling night life, fantastic food and people. It's just really any other place with a little more bonus to that. The weather is very inviting. And just the idea of staying in Baguio is enough to drool over it.

I have been to Baguio a couple of times. First, when I was about 9 years old and the 2nd time about 3 years ago and wow I was surpirse of the difference. I find Baguio now overpopulated and polluted. Sure the weather is still cool but you can feel the pollution in the air you breath in. Also, streets in Baguio are now over crowded since there are stalls sprouting like mushrooms everywhere.

sad to say, Baguio is becoming polluted each year.. and many years from now, it will now be like Manila.. and that would be very bad..

Undeniably, Baguio City is very livable city. I have been to baguio twice with my family and for the short time that we stayed their, I could have imagined living there for the rest of my life. The weather is very inviting and refreshing. I could walk all day and not feel tired. The people their are very warm and affable. I think I could save a lot when it comes to electric bill since the weather is cool all year round. Shopping too is very convenient for me because there so many awesome stuffs like secondhand clothings, which I love doing. I think the city is so romantic, like being with your love one, is like having a vacation everyday. These are my reasons why I choose Baguio City to live in.

Hi! I will have a chance to visit Baguio again on the 3rd week and I'm so excited. I will stay there for a day only though but still it will give me a day to relax. I will visit the second hand shops too and buy some "pasalubong" because after Baguio, I'll go to Laoag. Tiring, isn't it? Hope you can live there soon. But I guess you would want to have some heater during colder days and that's electicity too. Anyways, it's just for few months. But you know when I stayed there for 5years, I always heat my bath.
