I just crossed out 3 province off at once on that list! It's a known fact that I love to travel (who doesn't?!) and I am just happy to travel with some of my high school friends. I've been trying to ask them before if they want to travel and it didn't happen until now! So one random evening when I have nothing to do at work and there came a seat sale going to Bacolod, I just tried my luck asking them if they want to go.. and ta-dahh.. the rest is adventure. So my actual plan was just to tour around Bacolod, but there aren't a lot of stuff to do in Bacolod. I guess a 4 day excursion is too much to explore just one city. Even the famous \"The Ruins\" is not located in Bacolod.. it's in Talisay City, another city in the province of Negros Occidental. So when I was about to do our DIY itinerary, my friends told me that it's also possible to do a 4 day tour of Bacolod, Iloilo, and Guimaras. And me being my adventurous self, I drafted a 4 day itinerary which by the way is just perfect for our schedule. It was not strictly followed because of the delays of the ferries and some factors we cannot really control but nonetheless, we all had fun and we were able to go to places that we never knew existed!\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nSo first stop?

Manokan Country is like a place where different eateries are placed in one location. And Aida's chicken used to be one of those eateries. Like a true blood Carinderia, there's no aircon, food is serve in regular plates, basically not your Mang Inasal type. The interior is notable for featuring the MassKara Festival. As for the taste of the food, like what I usually say, taste is subjective so what might be delicious for me tastes gross for you and vice versa. But what I can say about the chicken inasal is that it is a lot better than Mang Inasal. I don't know if it's a little less salty or what.. I can't really remember but I like it better. Aside from the menu given, there are also other food that's being served which are not written in the menu. So if you're trying Aida's, better ask the staff for other food that they're serving. For one, they have oysters for cheap price.

The museum originally has 2 floors for exhibit but the ground floor is being constructed to be a bed and breakfast soon. After the ground floor, the second floor which houses the oldest furniture and most of the exhibit will also be turned into a bed and breakfast. Entrance fee is P50 inclusive of a tour around the house. For me, this museum is like a gateway to the old times. The pieces are well preserved and some of the appliances are still functioning. And nope, these doesn't house paintings or murals or sculptures. The museum showcases the Dizon-Ramos' family memorabilia. From the old sofa set to kitchenware.

A notable feature of the park is the matching sculpture of a woman and a water buffalo. This is a perfect place to rest for a bit and just admire the view. With all that walking we had during the day, the view of the capitol and the cold breeze of the air sure helps us relax a bit. The place is popular for jogging, zumba, and other sporty stuff.

What's different on this museum is it not only focuses on the artifacts but it also tell stories of how people used to live in the area of Negros. Also, if you happen to be on this place, do not forget to visit their Toy Museum area! It's a must. The collections is wide and very pleasing to the eyes.

They say this is one of the places you need to try when in Bacolod. As for our experience though, the serving time is really long. Food is served already cold. And there's nothing special in it to make up for its price. Maybe it's just the food we ordered but I still call it experience. :) We rest for a bit and regain our energy because we plan on visiting The Ruins next. However, it's already past sunset and it's raining.
