Historic Town Of Vigan 維甘古城
IIocos Sur, Philippine. UNESCO World Heritage Site
我還滿喜歡維甘古城的。
I really Love Vigan Town.
這不是一個繁榮的地方，雖然它離佬沃好像不遠，但我覺得她有刻意的被保留原本的相貌。
This place is still developing—if you want to said it in Modern way. Even through this place is very close to Laoag—Where is the biggest city at north side of Luzon Island. but I think the local are trying hard to keep their traditional way here.
它就是一個充滿西班牙建築與風味的小鎮，但這個小鎮，又保有當地人與中國殖民的色彩。是一個自然而然，形成自己特色的一個地方。
This small town mixed many different multi-culture. not only Spanish and Fillipine , but also Chinese, and the U.S culture, It began to become their own special culture—little bit simulate with others, but it’s totally different.
恩，跟寮國的龍坡邦又好像有點相像的感覺。
Yap , It is little bit same as Luang ProBang in Lao.
因為之前去過秘魯—西班牙的殖民地之一。所以我自然而然的，對於西班牙的殖民地，就開始感興趣，最起碼，我想看看，西班牙的特色，在南美洲，跟在亞洲，會呈現怎麼樣不一樣的感覺。
I went to another Spanish colony country before—Peru. so I did see some Spanish culture in other country, but I would like to see would the culture things changed if they managed in two different place. when I first come here, I think it is not that too much different.
上面兩張圖，一張是在秘魯庫司可，一張是在維甘古城，我覺得好像噢，那種感覺，那種風格，好像就是差不多個感覺，如果換成晚上，我發現感覺好像也差不多……。
You can see the above pictures, one was takeing at Cuzco., Peru, one was takeing at Vigan Town. Don’t you feel it is almost simulate?? I feel the same building style when I first come here, and I feel the same attitude of people’s working . it is quite starge.~~.
是不是很像？我真的覺得滿像的……。
I’d also take the picture at the night time, andI really feel the whole enviornment are same.
呂宋島走了這麼一回，從碧遙坐車到這裡，其實我覺得，沿路西班牙式的教堂也不少。但或許是這邊給人的感覺，一踏到這裡，就像是去波蘭的土倫，秘魯的庫司可一般，就是馬上把你帶入一個很濃厚，有獨特的文化色彩中。
I did really feel that I was at the 18 century in Philippine when I was here. I did have same feeling like I went to Torun in Poland or Cuzco in Peru before the trip. It just like times just stop here, and not to passed anymore. I am happy to see the same feeling in Asia Countries.
原來，菲律賓還有這麼一面。
So, I just find out another beautiful way of Philippine.
