With all the lights around, night time becomes daytime as the music entertains the ears and the eyes feast on watching people at Rizal Boulevard in Dumaguete City.

It was fun to watch the night life at the boulevard. Here are the reasons why:

1. URBAN FEEL. Rizal Boulevard has a resemblance of Roxas Boulevard in Manila minus the traffic and the pollution. It is where people jog, play, eat, chat, kill time and feel the breeze coming from the Dumaguete City Bay.

2. STORIES ABOUND. Killing time meant observing the people and creating stories out of their actions. The boulevard has been a witness to the sweetness of couples, joy of friends, and to the gloom of people in soliloquy.

3. EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY. If you feel like eating and drinking, you can find numerous bars and restos overlooking the bay. We went to Coco Amigos, where there’s a live band.

Even locals watch and listen to the band across the street. For them, that’s entertainment.

4. RELAX. When you’re tired of walking, then get a foot massage by the bay.

5. TAKE HOME A PIECE of DUMAGUETE. You can bring home personalized key chains, which you can find along the path walk in the boulevard.
