Davao City - Quick Stopover

My second time in Davao! Thanks to my new job – I get to travel for free.
Time for a short pasyal...

** For Quick Stopover (As in quick)...

Day 1: Had a quick stopover at Lon Watemple.

Had the chance to see another SM branch, too – SM Lanang. It's really big, not that crowded, and has high end stores.
Highly recommended - shoppers and mall-lovers will like this place.










Day 2: Busy day, although we were able to eat at Blue Carabao – just a few steps away from our Davao Head Office in Monteverde. Though it's quite hot, they serve good food.

Day 3: Work's over and we had the entire evening to explore the city. Besides, I was done visiting Crocodile Farm and done watching the performance of the ethnic group Tribu K'Mindanawan.

Riverwalk:


You'll get to see this on your way to Tribu K'Mindanawan.




















Perhaps if a friend was with me, I'd ask him/her to try any of these exotic dishes.



Since I was on a solo mode, mango shake will do.


People's Park:

Perhaps you'll appreciate this place if you only want to sit or read or walk and take photos, but there's nothing so exciting in this place. The security at the entrance are also annoying and irritating – someone should teach them how to be friendly and how to smile.





The Peak at Gaisano Mall:

Don't be deceived by the photos. The place doesn't look that lovely even at night, though it doesn't look so bad at all. I guess it's not yet totally developed. I also prefer to go to Abreeza or SM Lanang – these malls have this ambiance that's more inviting.



Ice Giant:
Walking distance from Gaisano Mall. They offer delicious sweets covered with ice (similar to our halo-halo or red bean sherbet of Korea). They have this enormous bowl that's good for 10-20 people! Pizza and pasta are also available, but I suggest better eat (dinner/lunch) somewhere else.

It's cheaper to take a PUJ, but only if you've been to Davao and you know which PUJ to hail; otherwise, simply take a cab!



Davao City is a very safe place where even a foreign tourist can ride a cab - worry-free! Just learn how to contact their city Mayor :p
