Some Random things I Like about CEBU

Today, I had so much fun reading about Bianca's blog. One of the blogs I followed. One of her posts is about a random list about herself that she wrote last year. I'm also thinking to write my own list but since I am dedicating this month to just write about Cebu, I will stick to that idea. Here's my own list of Random things why I like CEBU- the Queen City of the South!

1. There are a lot of  Boracay like white beaches here. To name a few: Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Moalboal and many others. They are heaven like beaches as captured in photos with sea-meet-the clouds view.
2. It is so much easier for me to go home in CDO from here. Just 1 overnight trip by boat or 45 minutes by plane.
3. Easy to communicate with people because Cebuanos speak the main language that we also use at home.
4. Cebu is the best place to eat lechon or roast pig. It is guaranteed super tasty!
5. I just love the 'death by chocolate' dessert in Casa Verde.
6. There are a lot of  'All you can Eat' places here that they called 'Eat All You Can' if you'd like to have a pig out day. Must go to 'Jovens' in Mandaue or at 'The Port' just beside Waterfront hotel. I've been to a few before.
7. The cost of living here is not that much and you can always get a good meal anywhere.
8.  Cebu is home to many old and big churches in the Philippines. I've been to the famous Miraculous home of  Mother Mary in Simala and the Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino in the heart of the City.
9. I love the bargains at Colon Street-known as the oldest street in the Philippines.
10. Golden Cowrie's crispy pata is also one of my many favorites here.
11. Sinulog- the biggest festival in the Philippines is celebrated here every January that is why a lot of people are coming here from all points.
12. Some of my best friends from University days are living and working here for years now.
13. I like to take an early morning walk from Mango Ave-Jones Ave-across Colon St to Carbon market every Sunday to buy fresh fruits and sea foods.
14.Hmmm...the SuTuKil seafood places in Mactan are also the best!
15.
16..

And the list goes on...I believe I will discover more things in the future about this place. For those of you who've been here in Cebu, what are the things you love about coming here?


More about Cebu this whole month of December as promised. Salamat sa pagbasa! (Thanks for reading!)
