We were supposed to be on a Super Deluxe bus with a toilet and supposedly more comfortable seats but we ended up on a regular one. And since we are generally tolerant to a lot of things, and it was already an hour past the scheduled departure time, we didn’t argue anyway and just got on. Unexpectedly, the 9 hours bus ride didn’t turn out to be so bad at all. We arrived at Laoag at around 07:... Read Full Entry

" Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness "

TinNiE

In the midst of confusion and feeling of lostness, a phenomenon which I believe they call quarter-life crises (and a gloomy heart), I refuse to stay sulking at the corner for too long ... I am going out. What started as half hearted attempts to pull myself out of this melancholic state resulted to travels characterized by disappointments, and awe for the unexpected beauty; facing the good, the bad, and the ugly reality and enthusiasm for some more.

What beautiful photos
They made me miss your beautiful country a lot. Vigan looks fascinating, completely unlike any Filippino town I ever saw! I'll have to start thinking about returning some time...

nice Ilocos blog, it reminded me when I toured Ilocos in 2001. It really feels like the province is somehow detached from the rest of Luzon, although it can be reached by land travel. From it architecture, cleanliness and street food culture, not that we don't have it in Manila, but the ones from Ilocos are a culinary delight and wont give you bad stomach. I wish I can still travel PI the way you do it. Keep having fun at your travels !!!
