Vigan is different then Vegen

Vigan here has been awesome, definitely my favorite place so far! My host family is great too...eating nice food like salad and mangos and brownies!

While here we got to go on a carriage tour around the city and see some history. Way way WAY back in the 1600s the Spanish had claimed the land so there's many old Spanish buildings which add a lot of charcter to the place. There's even a law that every place downtown has to be kept old looking, you cannot add anything new.

The nightlife here is great here too...more my cup of tea literally. It's quieter and people tend to go out for a piece of cake and a beer, wine, coffee or tea....kind of European. The only bad thing is that when you walk through the downtown at night cockroches come out of the sewers and crawl everywhere....you gotta watch where you step!
