G.I. Land

G.I. is "Genuine Ilocano", the native of Ilocos Norte or Sur. They are known to be hardworking and thrifty people, evidence of which is easily seen in how they keep their province humming with activity.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Far enough from Manila to feel like a major trip.
Cons:Too far to drive, so flying is better. Maybe.

Hey, I want to help prepare the clay too! Looks like fun! I bet it's a great feeling when that wet clay seeps between your toes :).
