Do you love reading comic books or comics?

If you are going ask to me the same question, I definitely do. I love reading funny comics as much as I love writing travel articles for Travex Travels. Though I am not really as gifted as the others who are talented in such a way they are experts in creating visual icons and drawings, my fond of reading it enabled me to understand how illustrations work. And thus I am going to attend this very special event made for artists who are living in the City of Pines.

Let’s Rock with The Jeemo: The Party Jeep

The Jeemo: Party Jeep in Baguio

The jeep or the jeepney is the most common means of transportation in the Philippines. It is patterned from the US Army vehicle used in the Second World War and as the decades go over, the jeep was used as mode to transport people from one place to another. Passengers used to say “para” when they are already near their destinations. But I guess if you are the party-ish creature who always loves to sing videoke, dance with flickering colorful lights and be wild all the night, you will never say “para” when you are inside The Jeemo: The Party Jeep.

Tam-Awan Village: Baguio Culture and Art

Artwork like this one is displayed inside Tam-Awan Village, plus there are huts that define the Baguio culture.

Baguio culture and art fused together is what Tam-Awan Village is known for. Tam-Awan means “viewpoint”, a “viewdeck” or “tanawan” in Tagalog. That is because the “village” itself has its own peak where one can see a sky of horizon and a blast of sunset, facing the seas of La Union. Well I didn’t actually see the sunset that was referred to here because it was foggy that time when we visited the place. Tam-Awan Village is an art gallery and cultural museum. It features the native huts typical to the different towns in the Cordillera region. They brought the culture, bundled it and made it into a tourist destination. Tam-awan Village is a part of the jigsaw puzzle called Baguio.
