We were in Serye Cafe Filipino when Firstborn excitedly barged into the coffee shop asking for money… so that he could ride a COW!
Apparently, there is a Rodeo Ride for kids there:

Kiddos wanted to try this out while we were strolling at Eastwood:
But , nah! they were still too young for that… next time…
But it was interesting to see this kiosk offering this bungee fun activity that kids could engage in right in the middle of Eastwood:

Small kiosks like this are common especially along Calle Real in Ilioilo City:
