Cebu City

Male and female street vendors sell very different items on the streets of Cebu. Traffic is odd there, I've made a left turn across 3 lanes of traffic in rush hour and not waited over 30 seconds. The vast majority of folks are civil and play by the rules.

a fight like no other... let's go BOODLE FIGHT! 💪🏼 Now before you go on a flight or fight mode, boodle fight is actually a military style of eating where people gather round long tables and food is prepared on top of banana leaves. You will find yourself in a "fight” that refers to the act of grabbing and eating as much as you can before others grab them or runs out 😂 #TroverFoodies #ginnysjournal #Cebuseries #uniqueexperience
