What’s up, people! How are you all? I miss you big time. I’m sorry it took me a long time to write a new discussion. But now I’m back. Glad to be here again.
I and my family went to Baguio City, Philippines to celebrate Christmas. Baguio City is known to be the summer capital of the Philippines because of its cool temperature. And true to its word, my family spent the whole time wearing thick , wintery clothes. They were all excited to wear a whole new kind of wardrobe- beanies, sweaters and all. I couldn’t help but take lots and lots of pictures of them enjoying their ‘winter outfit’.
It was a great yet short vacation for me. Now I’m back to Osaka and as usual, my pockets are empty. Same old, same old. :)
Photo is of ref magnets sold by the dozen in Baguio.

they look like they're enjoying themselves. did you rent a house? i remember baguio equals strawberry jam, ube (purple yam) and soft broom (walis tambo). those traditional pasalubong have probably changed a lot through the years.

@sol_cee maybe they know it will encourage more people to rent it with the rising costs of living here now.

I missed you.
That is a lovely photo. The costumes are very similar to some in the north east of our country.
Now the countdown to next vacation has begun.

I'm happy you had a good time - with the winter clothing and everything.
I like those magnets - did you get one?
Missed you!
