Cebu City Unfiltered
wandered into the morning market and the air was thick with fried *adobo and the chatter of vendors shouting about fresh tuk-tuk rides. i just checked and it's 26.02°C, feels like a sauna in the air, hope you like that kind of thing. if you get restless, nearby towns are a quick hop away. someone told me that the rooftop bar at the old hotel has the best view of the sunset, but i haven't verified it yet. i heard that the street food stall near colon street is actually a hidden gem, but be ready for a line. the humidity sticks to your skin like a second shirt, and the streets are a maze of motorbikes weaving around potholes that look like they were painted by a drunk artist. i tried the fresh mango juice from a stall that had a sign written in chalk, and the vendor laughed at my clumsy Tagalog. the city council decided to repaint the old colonial building in bright teal, and people are still arguing about it on the forum. someone told me that the best place to watch fireworks is behind the old church, but you have to be there by 9 pm or you miss the view. the local market sells dried fish that looks like it has a personality of its own. the temperature never drops below 26°C at night, so you can actually sleep with the window open and hear the distant karaoke. i heard that the street artist painted a giant cat on the side of the parking garage, and it became an Instagram hotspot. the late-night karaoke vibes are wild and make you forget the heat. the traffic lights are more like suggestions than rules. the bus driver once shouted stop* in a language that sounded like a mix of Spanish and local slang. check out the TripAdvisor page for the heritage tour TripAdvisor or the Yelp reviews for the local cafe Yelp and the city forum for insider tips Cebu Forum.
