Baguio is fairly small. Did you get a job offer there?

Many get allured by the 'mountain climate' while being in a southeast asian country.. i did once.. which is why I visited once. Outside of that.. and its proximity to that part of Luzon.. the city doesn't have a whole lot more to offer.

It is a college town however.. but I didn't really feel much of its presense/influence when I was in Baguio myself.

Baguio isn't a very nice city.
Damp, ugly concrete buildings etc.
I find Filippinos to be among the nicest people around but in Baguio I found them to be a little hostile.
"Yankee Go Home" signs stuck to walls.
If I was to live in the Philippines it'd be right at the bottom of my list of choices of places to stay.

A friend of mine was from Baguio originally. He is super nice...

I am told, though, that there are many Koreans in Baguio...?

Not sure.
