My experience at perya

      Last week we went to a small perya in dasmarinas, Cavite. It was the smallest carnival i've been to with just three attractions that were the star of the show there. Aside from the attractions there were the booths, every booth there was had multiple booths offering the same items with a few different snacks. The booth that had the most people lined up around it was a gambling station,
I don't know how the game works exactly but I think I get the concept of the game. You bet on a certain color and there were these giant dice with each of the 6 colors you can vote for on them, once you place your money on a certain color they'd roll the dice and you have a 1/6th chance to get the dice to roll on the color you voted for, if the dice landed on the color you bid on you get a sum of money larger than how much you bid. I don't understand why it was the most popular booth when there were booths that allowed you to shoot a bb gun, a pyramid toss game and more.

 The rides were very small but nonetheless fun to go on, since this was not the first time i've been to this local carnival i know that it is missing a large portion of the rides they had last year, last year i went they had a ferris wheel,a pirate ship and more compared to this years but since the perya was only built a week ago they might still implement the rest of the rides, though highly unlikely as they are running low on space with all the booths. The perya consists mainly of fun booths, a few food stations and a few attractions that will make you dizzy if you have motion sickness. I will gladly  come back again next year to see how much will change from this years visit to the perya, they have after all changed more than half of the attractions and booth since last year.

You do not need to bring much money as most of the rides and booths cost less than 1 dollar, so you can go to a decent amount of attractions with just 100 pesos but it really depends on how much people you're planning on going with. We only went with 6 people including me and my mother, and we got to go to every ride and booth with just a small coin purse with some left, we did not go to the gambling stations.
