Places to Visit in San Fernando City

By Celine -
Last December 4 to 6, 2010, our team had a vacation in San Fernando City, La Union and Baguio City. We had so much fun at the beach of San Fernando and exploring some tourist spots around the city.

We stayed at Sunset Bay Beach Resort which truly lived up to its name as we saw a fantastic sunset. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, and they even have a swimming pool for those who don't want to swim in the sea. During the morning on our last day, it was low tide, and we got to explore and see seashells. It was fun.

Before this sunset, we went to see Ma-Cho Temple, the world's largest Taoist temple outside China. It was huge! Behind it, you could go up a road (by walking) and enjoy a view of the city, and you could even see the sea on the other end.


Shortly after, we also visited the Pindangan Ruins. It is the remains of an old church in the city.


It's a short but sweet vacation and sight-seeing in the city of La Union.
Location: San Fernando City, Philippines

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's...

Vancouver Christmas Market experience and review

Jomar and I have been planning to go here last year and even the year before, but somehow we never have gotten around to it. Today, after the Pokemon GO Community Day, we went to Jack Poole Plaza where the Vancouver Christmas Market is located. Then, it started raining. Merry Christmas! Nope, I'm not going to be drenched in the rain and endure the cold to be here. This rain is not in the forecast so it was completely unexpected. We decided to let the dark clouds pass inside the Starbucks at Shaw building across the street. After an hour, it stopped raining. Thank God! We lined up again and entered. It was still before sunset so it's bright. We took pictures around and feasted on the many great foods! I wish we could eat more but at some point, you just know that you're full.
