Sights in Bacolod City

Armed with a list of "where to go" and "what to do" in Bacolod, we strolled around the city even if the sun plays hide and seek with us. Staying at Saltimboca Tourist Inn made it very easy for us to walk around and explore the city. 

We went to the Capitol Park and Lagoon, around 4 blocks away from Saltimboca. At 7 a.m., people are busy jogging, walking and doing some aerobics around the park. There was a loud music that you can dance into during that time. We can't help but be hyped up by just seeing people around doing their thing.

One activity that you should try is feeding the fishes (tilapia) in the man-made lagoon. You can buy popped rice along the sidewalks of the park for 2 pesos a bunch and go on with fish feeding. The fishes are so used to feeding. They are conditioned that whenever someone throws anything, they would grab it - thinking that it's food. Even if you just wave your hand, they would think that it's food and will pop their mouths up the water. We fed them and walked back and forth just to see if they would followed us - and they did. Cute. Dog walkers were also everywhere. There were also some sculptures around the park that were very interesting.
