jlx Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 for hang-out place:banilad town center (BTC), the village, the courtyard, etc.for nature trip:camotes island, olango island, kawasan falls, ubong spring, etc. formerly 'the village' is now known as 'the walk' it's simply full of restos. no more the likes of 'the courtyard'. the surrounding area is full of call centers so go figure. well, if gigimik ka na rin lang, why do you have to go to cebu when manila has more gimmick spots? i would suggest having dinner at Larsian's where barbeque stands are lined up. this is near fuente osmena and chong hua hospital. then for dessert, try having halo-halo in Pasil. you can take the 04D jeepney in going there. their halo-halo is just 20pesos and it's really yummy. then you can walk all the way to carbon and buy fruits and ukay-ukay (if open pa).among the places that you mentioned larsians i the most okay but it's still not for everyone. heck! i've never been to pasil except pass by in our car and i've lived here all of my life. carbon (wet market) i've only gone inside a couple of times with my parents to buy food. other than that if having us kids around is inevitable they usually leave us at a relative's store then just come back for us because it's not safe. seriously i wouldn't be caught dead shopping in those places. it simply is not safe. now that the shopping falls on my shoulders i seriously don't think the risk is worth going to such a dangerous place. where snatching/mugging is a normal occurence. think of it as being in quiapo in manila. perhaps it's an exaggeration but nnot exactly far from truth. i only go when i absolutely have to. like for example having a party and needing to buy plenty of fresh and affordable seafoods among other things.

marc_7 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) im in cebu ryt now. based on jlx's advise, i cancelled the city tour na and saved myself a thou. (thanks mam!). Madali nga makahanap ng taxi. I went to Larsian last nyt, not bad naman. Kung sanay ka sa posh places, mejo alangan ka d2. Pero kung masa ka naman, oks na oks! :cool: Edited December 29, 2008 by marc_7 Quote Link to comment

Pero kung masa ka naman, oks na oks! :cool: glad to be of service and just a head's up i'm not a sir :boo: taxi is really not a prob here unless umuulan then it would be a pain in the ass. minsan kasi namimili but lure them by paying them extra or double then they'll be all for it. tried and tested ko na to. i beg to disagree:P di naman sa posh but at least naman sing linis sana ng dampa. hope you do get to enjoy the rest of your stay here. at least xmas rush is already over so it won't be so stressful going around town Quote Link to comment
iansirk Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 or you can go to matias its not that cheap and not that expensive either. i like the taste of the barbeque there. not too sweet like sa larsian. hope i help a bit. its at a.s fortuna by the way Quote Link to comment
jlx Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 you might want to try this. it was just launched earlier this month. it's better to go by pairs as they are having a promo right now. though expect to spend around 1k each for both edge coaster and sky walk which is still considerably cheaper compared to macau's sky walk which costs around 3k. the money spent is well worth the experience. personally i believe going there around sunset is the best. it allows you to appreciate both day and night.

jlx Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 if you guys want cheaper places to say try browsing through here ----> http://www.istorya.net/forums/destinations...re-in-cebu.htmlit's up to you to decipher what some are saying but it's pretty understandable as it's a mixture of languages and of course prices:P so enjoy!

sk3rmo Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i'd like to add to ms jlx inputs about taxis. I go to cebu about 3x a year i'm impressed with their taxis. When you hail one from the malls or the bigger hotels the guards give you a sheet of paper with the name and plate number of the taxi you're getting into. A good security measure i must say. And then after paying you fare they even give you the exact change!! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
omnipresent Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just got back from Cebu, stayed at Mactan Shangrila, it hasnt changed much.Worth to mention, last saturday - andun and first family - GMA, FG, Dado, Mikee, Luli, etc.And also the Ayala's, Ruffa G and family, etc. Kasal ulit nina Luli ;-) Quote Link to comment
Richmond Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I prefer Neo Neo, AA bbq or Chievers rather than larsian mukhang madumi kasi yung place. Quote Link to comment
