5. Calesa<br />

A calesa is a horse-drawn carriage that used to be around<br />

the streets, but is now mostly ridden for tourists’ use. If you<br />

happen to visit Vigan, Ilocos Norte, a calesa ride completes<br />

the whole experience. Tour along and feel the quaint<br />

ambience in the Spanish lanes of the town. Manila,<br />

specifically Intramuros, also offers a calesa ride the oldfashioned<br />

way with your coachman serving as your tour<br />

guide, in complete costume and all. ONLY IN THE<br />

PHILIPPINES. While in some ways this phrase makes<br />

people shake their heads with its several meaning, more<br />

often than not, this has made Filipinos proud. Because the<br />

Philippines is the only place in the world where you find not<br />

only several modes of transportation, but a journey forever<br />

etched in your heart. Great Expericnce.<br />
