When people ask me where I go to drink coffee, eat dessert or access WiFi, I often tell them I go to Kasagingan.

Watching movies has always been a favorite pastime of mine, be it at home or at the theater. In Manila, I’m more than willing to shell out 200 pesos for a movie ticket, even more for premieres. I know the price is silly, but come to think of it, even if the movie sucked, the sound quality and comfy seats make the experience partially worthwhile. The cinemas at Greenhills Shopping Center and Powerplant are the best in my book. In Davao City, there are only a few worth mentioning. Here they are, in order of preference:

Karl’s Koffee Korner: Where WiFi is Not Free

Having been forced of Bo’s Coffee Club where my cousin and I were enjoying excellent coffee and free WiFi, we decided to go to Karl’s Koffee Korner in Buhangin. Given that most WiFi Hotspots in Davao City offer free WiFi, we assumed that Karl’s would also have free WiFi. Well, we thought wrong. We had to pay P15 to plug our laptops. And we had to buy an access card worth PhP100. And that card is good for only one hour. Needless to say, we contented ourselves with eating what we ordered and went out right away. ARGH!!!
