SM City Cebu

When visiting Cebu City I would rather visit SM City Cebu to buy something or even just to look around and relax with its comfortable environment.

When I was a student at San Carlos University back then there was nothing in this area. It was a quiet and deserted area - a reclamation area where you cannot find anything but files of garbage and dirt, and sea in a distance.  

However, looking at what has changed, I still feel surprise every time I visit the place. People come in to shop, watch movies, enjoy their favorite food or just do window shopping.

SM City Cebu is a very convenient place for me, especially when I come the neighboring province or from outside of country. For example, from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, I just usually take a taxi to reach this shopping mall. It is the closest and most convenient to new arrivals from the airport or from the port. It takes about 40 minutes from the airport for approximately 150 pesos via taxi.

Many Filipinos and foreign visitors drop by to relax and treat it like their homes outside their private homes. I think I tend to say the same. It is a very convenient place for me to keep my luggage safe while I move around. For example, I do this when I buy things, see my friends, or visit places I want to see within the city.

During regular weekdays, around a 100 thousand people come and explore SM City Cebu. On the weekend there are about 140 to 150 thousand visitors come to see and treat the place like a place for relaxation and recovery from the daily toils in life.
