South Girl goes to BGC and visits Venice Piazza.

South people are not very fond of going out of their usual location (obvs, South area) mainly because we don't want to experience the traffic and hustles of the very much busy "Metro". But I am giving BGC a try because I have a friend who will tour me around the place and because I'm on leave (meaning I have time). Haha!

So here I am hesitant to bring my car all the way to BGC because I'm not familiar with their traffic rules (just afraid, actually). I left Cavite around 6am-ish, parked my car in Alabang, rode a bus to Ayala station where my friend will meet me up. We met around 7:45am and went to BGC streets first via Grab car to take photos (because what else is to do at 8am?).

'Fcors this girl have to have her instagram-able photos as well!

Just remember to bring water, a fan, towel and a cap or umbrella as this involves a lot of walking under the sun. Knowing the weather in the Metro, these are definitely necessities.

After that, we decided to go to Venice Piazza via Grab car again and had our lunch. "Foodie" snap FTW!

After eating, its time to roam around the mall!

Venice Piazza aka Venice Grand Canal mall opened around late 2015 and this place's goal is to give you an Italian inspired walk in their mall. Of course, the usual things are there, shops and restaurants, but they made the interiors "Mediterranean" inspired to make you feel Italy, but on a budget!

One of their highlights is the Gondola boat ride which is reminiscent of those romantic boat rides popular in Italy. Its aim is really to give you a glimpse of Italy. Rates as of current date of writing is 350php for kids, 400php for adults, 450php on weekdays and holidays.

But if you don't want to ride the Gondola, just feel free to take photos of the place! Insta worthy pics for your feed!

If you want to visit, you can do the same thing I did, via Grab app. If you have your own car, all places here can be searched via Waze app. If you will commute, just take the BGC buses around going to your destination.
