Cultured Chos

So, I have an official trip to Baguio City but I was very early, so I have time to spare. And since I have a vehicle and I heard of BenCab Museum which I haven't visited yet, I decided to spend my day there. I missed my museum buddies (Syanang Syalen), we could have so much fun since we love visiting museums. I asked my manong driver to join me so I can have a photographer hehehe, libre ko naman sya kaya quits lang =P 

pang TODA collections

may restaurant din sa loob ng Museum

Haunted White House

If you searched for tenderness, it isn't hard to find...ano daw?

If you searched for Baguio's Most Haunted places, for sure if not the top, Laperal White House is always included. The Laperal Guesthouse was built in the 1930s as a vacation home by the clan heads, Roberto and Victorina Laperal.

In 2013, the tycoon's Tan Yan Kee Foundation transformed the house into a Bamboo Foundation museum, thus it was open to the public and so, I paid a visit. I love old houses and I don't mind the haunted stories that go with them. 

So, let's take a peek inside the house.

the stairs are my favorite, obvious ba?

Isn't she lovely? The White House, I mean =)
