For those who have been to Baguio and are already over the usual touristy places that the internet is telling you to go, if you have done a bit of research, there are actually some spots that you might want to check.
1. Likha Artist Village

When we got here the place is still under renovation, but there are some parts that people can actually dine in. Let me just describe the place as a cafe tree house. The entire place is anchored to the bark of the tree, whilst some of the sides supported by some huge trees, stilts and what not. Every nick and croony has some art going on. Tiles, carvings, moldings - it's a feast for the eyes. They serve typical filipino food like the silog's. For me it's the perfect place to have breakfast. Last time we were there, they were trying to build of what looks like a Noah's arch shaped cafe. I'm pretty curious how it's going to turn out to be.

Going to this place would take an hour or so and I believed we paid the taxi driver around P350. But I must say it was worth going to. I mean, it gives you a scenery of what mountaineers would see by the time they reach the peak of the mountain. Plus point here is that you don't have to sweat. You just sit down, wait, enjoy the view inside the taxi, and pay the money. The scenery surpasses the food, and the cafe. People would just go there for it. Take a picture, buy a cup or cups of coffee, and go home. There's also some place to sleep nearby, however it costs around 2000 a night.

We haven't gone hear but base on the picture, it sure is a lovely place to unwind. The glass windows offers a nice scenery and the living area looks like a place where barkadas or lovers could just chill and have a nice chat over a cup of coffee.

I may not be a fan of the 50's but I'm a fan of places that are different. Visit them once and I'm good, just checking out for the sake of experience. This place has curated many interesting articles from the 50's, putting it together tastefully to get the real vibe of the era.
