Youre such a very humble woman who is a foreigner from EU that your heart is so kind,humble and you appreciate the small things in life, we salute you girl! I had lived in finland and wemens there were so racist and have a high standard in life
It’s so different from the rest of the cities in the Philippines And looks like the locals are keeping everything nice and clean Proud of they heritage Enjoy your time together and keep exploring the Philippines so we can see what a beautiful place this earth has to offer
Kudos to the local govt for preserving and maintaining these century old houses...there's also houses like these in taal or agoncillo batangas where you can also buy the famous knife called balisong
Spanish-era towns in the Philippines were patterned after the European style-- government buildings (ayuntamiento), church, and school, built around a plaza, with the houses of the town's more prominent families radiating outward. The marketplace would not be far away. The roads were characteristically narrow.
Never been to Vigan but I heard when I was in school that the provinces in the far north of the Philippines is super hot, like Ilocos, Vigan, etc. I don't know about Batanes, the typhoon capital of the Philippines. I'm in my 70's now so I just watch your vlogs to see the different parts of the Philippines. Haven't had tinubong before. That ukoy looks very hard. Careful with your nice teeth. Keep up the good work showing us old people the Philippines.
So many beautiful places to see in the Philippines! Thank you for taking us along, Susie and Jonathan. Would love to try all the Vigan food and buy some of the handcrafted products… Keep safe and look forward to your next vlog🥰
I am so glad to see you in the wonderful City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Take your time to explore Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. They have also Breathtaking sandy beaches to visit and camping areas in the Norte. Pray and have fun.🚣🏄🏝️
You and Jonathan is traversing Naguilian road down to Bauang town, head north leads you to San Fernando La union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte and up to Laoag, go south you will head down to Caba La Union, Aringay, Agoo, Santo Tomas, Damortis and so on.
I have never been to Vigan City, Philippines, I love it so nice and beautiful. I like to ride the Kalesa, which reminds me of the good old days when tricycle was still unavailable. This is one of the nicest places I have ever seen wish I could visit that place someday it's like going back in time. Enjoy more of your upcoming adventure in the Philippines can't wait to see more!! Stay safe and God Bless you both.
You're right it's absolutely like going back in time! And there are so many interesting things to do / see in the area other than this most popular street 😍
We visited La Union Immuki Island and then traveled to Vigan City, Laoag and Paoay Sand Dunes and we wen to Pagudpud. The further Ilocos Norte the more humid and hot weather is, but along the way we saw a lot of beautiful places. Its so nice to see in your videos places that I have visited also. Its like watching my holiday all over again :D. Sending lots of love! Safe travels guys!
Can’t wait to visit again. Would love to see our beautiful City Vigan! I lived there for 8 yrs in Paing Bantay before we came to the U.S.A.(Hawaii). It’s been a long time.
All of the major cities of the Philippines used to look like Vigan. Sadly most of the colonial-era buildings were destroyed in World War 2. And everyone modernized the buildings with concrete rather than restore the old buildings afterwards. But you can still see traces of the old architecture in Intramuros for example, or some scattered buildings in Iloilo or Cebu, etc. Exceptions are newer cities like Baguio which didn't exist until the American period.
This is sad to hear that they had to modernize the cities and replace the old architecture with concrete buildings. Perhaps part of the problem was due to the lack of knowledge and skills to restore old historical houses. I hope the Philippine government does something about it.
@@rlhouse3635 The reason is more complicated than that. It was post-War. People needed to reconstruct quickly. So they just demolished ruined old buildings and built completely new ones with concrete over them. But yes, it is sad how the government pays very little to no attention on heritage buildings. Aside from tourist spots. Unlike in Europe for example, where historical buildings are protected by law from demolition or too much renovation.
@@AngryKittens It was also because the Philippine government was an American colony but the US gave independence after the war. The necessary funding to rebuild we didn't really recieve because the US prioritized in helping the restoration of the bombed cities in Europe. We got some financial support but just not enough. With that in mind the new and young Philippine goverment had to do what they had to do. They did rebuild Intramuros and some areas in old Manila at least but even that took decades. The country was really decimated in WWII as it was the battle ground in the Asia Pacific region and many Filipinos felt like they needed to move on, it was too painful. Many prominent Filipino-Spanish migrated to other countries and never really looked back. With less of them, the more the colonial houses became irrelevant and obselete in most of the country.
Hungarian Girl's FIRST IMPRESSION OF VIGAN! Why This City Surprised Me Most in Philippines?!. The video has impressive details and is very realistic. Watched the video on May 28, 2023 very like. Thank you
You didn't show the fastfood building of Jollibee, Chowking &;McDo. They were constructed in Spanish Style Building of the 18th century.. You should also visit the Singsong Zoo.
Looks like you went to Vigan on a weekday,we were there last month on a long weekend and there were sooooo many tourist,it was hard to take a good photograph.

We will definitely need to get one of those knifes!!

The marketplace would not be far away. The roads were characteristically narrow.
Also unlike many old towns in the country, old places in the North weren't destroyed by Japanese bombs during WW2

I would have loved to see how these historical buildings mix with modern things! Still happy to see at least some preserved areas

Wow you live near the most amazing view ever 😱 always wanted to see that spot!!
@@SusieinthePhilippines Maybe you can live there too! I sent Jonathan a DM about an available property literally 3 minutes away from that spot. 😁
You didn't show the fastfood building of Jollibee, Chowking &;McDo. They were constructed in Spanish Style Building of the 18th century.. You should also visit the Singsong Zoo.

It was really hot, same as in our province in Nueva Ecija! We missed the Cordelliera climate haha
I think you passed through Naguilian road,going to Ilocos Sur.
My province Ilocos SUR but i was born in Santa Maria but i live now in manila
Looks like you went to Vigan on a weekday,we were there last month on a long weekend and there were sooooo many tourist,it was hard to take a good photograph.
This was on a Friday ☺️ It only got super busy at Saturday evening
@@SusieinthePhilippines ...and there's a fountain and Lazer display on weekend nights.

Hello susie and than, does Hungary have mountainous areas also?
We do but way smaller than in the Cordellieras! In Hungary you'll have to hike usually to see impressive mountain views

Naguilian Road
Oh thank you!
