The Husband Store

October 11, 2006

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance  is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY

There is, however, a catch . … you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

Resorts in Benguet

October 9, 2006

One of the things you can do during your visit to Benguet is to spend the day at a resort. There are a lot of resorts you can visit if you want to unwind.

We have hot spring resorts at Asin, Tuba, Benguet. There are 2 resorts registered with the Provincial Tourism Office: Palm Grove and Riverview Waterpark. These resorts are less than a kilometer apart.

…the warm pools are filled with water from natural hot springs.Enjoy the natural warmth of the water as you dip into the pool… it’s really soothing especially after spending the whole week working— get your muscles to relax… you will find spas, jacuzzis, recreation centers.

How To get to these places?

If you are travelling with your private car… then it only takes about 30 to 40 mins to get to the resorts (above) from Baguio City.

You may also ride the jeepney going to ASIN behind the Police Precint- City Jail— near the city hall—

IF ever you get lost looking for jeepneys going to Asin, then ask for assistance from people (whom you think are from Baguio :-)
