3. You get to stay in native Ifugao huts.
Yes. You get to stay in an Ifugao hut! You can never experience this elsewhere.
Artsy people may be interested in their interior designs, wood carvings and house architecture. Their distinct style is deeply rooted in their forefathers’ traditions. Try asking around; they’ll be glad to share stories about God carvings, cow heads and other intricate designs that they know by heart.
Even this chicken wouldn’t leave our hut for clingy reasons. A very provincial feel! 🙂
2. You can learn the art of making rice.
Something new to try. I never appreciated rice this way before. Leaving some grains on our plates is pretty normal, but we often forget the hands that they go throug just for rice to be ready on our tables.
The natives will be more than happy to teach you how to do it!
Then, take a sip of some native rice wine. Better than that vodka you down all by yourself. You can’t say no to these awesome folks handing out the drink.
And, the most important medicine for broken hearts…
1. You’ll get to enjoy time by yourself.
It’s a totally different environment. Detached from the outside world, you’ll be able to see things you haven’t seen before. Maybe this time away is exactly what you need. 12 hours away, try giving Batad village a try and you might just find the answer to your question “Where do broken hearts go?”
Reflection. Reflection. Reflection. If ever you need it, don’t hesitate to do your soul-searching in this paradise. Php2,500 per package is pretty affordable for a quick mind cleanse, don’t you think?
