The Introvert Traveller

If you were able to drop to a pottery place in Vigan , don't hesitate to try the pottery making. It is okay to get dirty sometimes, but it is not okay to let the opportunity pass you by. Do not worry, you can wash your hands after. It is free to experience this thing in Vigan , but it is better if you can give a little penny to the local owner of this pottery. You can see a small bowl nearby containing donation money, just drop a little of appreciation token on that bowl.

If you did not study your assignment before going to Vigan, the best cheat you can have is to ride a Kalesa (Calesa). Kalesa is an old way of transportation using a Horse with two-wheeled carriage. The Kutsero (Kalesa Driver) knows best when it comes to the best places that you should visit within the place. It cost 150 Pesos ($3) per hour to have this worthy trip. But the trip to the whole historical place of Vigan can't be achieve in just an hour, I wasn't able to finish the whole trip because there was a lot of drop off on these beautiful places.

I arrived in Vigan around 9:30pm and passed by the street besides the church. I could smell the stinky pathway that was too strong enough and I could tell that the odor was coming from the paving drainage system. The next morning, I passed by again on the same street but the smell doesn't caught my attention anymore, maybe I was too preoccupied that time or maybe the stinky smell was slightly or totally gone. Not sure if the incident I experienced that night is just an isolated case, but if it's occurring at most of the time, I hope the local government will act ASAP to resolve their drainage system because it's really ruining the beautiful scenery in Vigan.

The place looks instagramable and at the same time the price is so cheap   You're trip in Vigan is NOT VIGAN if you don't get a chance to taste their main delicacy Empanada For the price of 45 Pesos ($0.9) you can have Special Empanada in a minute Personal back story I'm so tired and hungry looking for Empanada store that I can pass through while wandering the beautiful streets in Vigan, I didn't tried to asked the locals where to find a good store, I just wanted to find it on my own, then luckily i saw a sign "Nanang Sion Empanada" which is just a few steps away. What does Nanang means? Their store name Nanang Sion isn't just a name. Nanang means "Mother" in Engilsh and I don't have a chance to asked about the history of their store but we can assume that the second word "Sion" is the name of the owner. Nanang Sion = Mother Sion You better go upstair and experience the beautiful vintage setting of this pl...
