hello guys !!! i finally arrive home last saturday from a a very enjoying trip together with my husband and daughter..it was a great experience for me since its my first time to see what really Baguio really like..so refreshing ..i mean the place!! but sad to say that when i went to their market place there were some unscrupulous vendor..and i was a victim ..i was buying some strawberries in a tiny basket that cost 80 php...but when im in the hotel and try to open it since the top was wrap by cellophane i found out that the bottom of it was a crumpled paper and a lettuce!! my gosh ..and i counted the berries its about 20 pcs or something only...which mean that i paid something not worth it...but then again i was not able to return it since it was my last night there and im be going to Manila early morning...so guys...beware of this kind of thing..try buying in kilos and dont be tempted to buy on a neatly package berries...

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recently, I heard that someone in my area does similar. He sells tomatoes in a basket and the bottom of the basket has rolled up paper in it. I go to markets where I pick my veggies out and watch them put them in baskets and weigh them. It is good to warn people, that is how I found out.
Sounds like other than that, you had a great time!

Hello vanities. Welcome back home! It is always exciting to travel somewhere as there is always so much to see and experience. But I am so sorry that you had such an unpleasant experience from buying neatly-packed berries. It is so rude of the guy to do business this way with no trust given to his customers at all. I am sure that he will get into trouble for doing so if he still goes on like this. Have a good rest at home, vanities.

hi william..yeah its good to be back...it was a shamed that some people in my country do that to us..which means they can to tourist as well..baguio is the summer capital of manila and ive seen so many foreigners settling there..maybe because of the weather and the nature itself...
