My life in 5 days :Part one

BANAWE

1) Las Vegas Restaurant and Lounge

- We ate in this restaurant during our 3- day stay in Banawe. The food was great and the service was excellent. The food tastes different , especially the sinigang, iba kac ung pampa-asim nila eh. The service was personalized, because the children of the owner were the ones who served the food to us. Each member has his/her own share in the business. The mother cooks, the children serves the food, and the best part of it, the father serenades us with country songs. Their children were also talented. I took a shot on the eldest son while he was playing "narda". I would definitely recommend this place, especially for those who are tight on budget. For as low as 70 pesos, you already have a meal. The lodging costs 150 pesos----- affordable di ba? This place is a great place to hangout in Banawe.ASTIG!

2) Banawe View Inn

-We stayed here for three days. This is more expensive than Las Vegas, because lodging itself costs 600 pesos. But, it's worth it because the place is neat. The place was owned by Mr & Mrs. Luglog. FYI: Mrs. Luglog was the great grand daughter of late Ottley Beyer, the anthtopologist who studied the Ifugao culture. He later on married an Ifugao native. aside from the breath taking view of the rice terraces, i also liked the museum. Learning their culture was the most interesting part of my trip. Tignan nyo ung chess, ang cute!

3) Dep ed Lagawe

-on the second day, we went to Lagawe to conduct an AFS orientation for inbound and outbound students and parents.To make the long story short, I was asked to assist with the orientation. I had the chance to meet some AFS scholars. Aside from Emelia, I also met Junia, an Ifugao native. Both of them returned last year after spending eleven months in the United States.

4) Rice Terraces

-This was the highlight of my trip. If I would describe the rice terraces in one word, that would be: WONDERFUL!
