Camp John Hay used to be an American camp in Baguio, but it has since been turned into a resort. Starbucks cafe with outdoor seating and customers at Camp John Hay

And another important thing: the food is amazing! Thank God! The food is delicious! Delicious burrito, fries, ketchup, and iced tea on a metal table

I really wanted to try horseback riding since it’s very affordable. It costs just 300 PHP for 30 minutes.

During the ride, he pooped once and peed twice—a lot! This was a very special and unforgettable experience! Man riding brown horse Chocolate on a forest trail

At one point, I asked, "Why are we stopping here?"

The horse trainer said, "He is wee wee," and then I heard the sound.

That’s when I truly understood what "wee-wee" and "poop-poop" meant.

I was worried it might get on me!

Luckily, everything was fine. Nothing happened.

After that, I visited the Camp John Hay cabins (the former soldiers' houses).

Next time, I'll probably try hiking, running a marathon, golf, or other activities.
