Can you believe this, we belong to the 3rd World Country (sad to say) but here's what our capital looks like...

But if you use a comfort room in any of those buildings, you won't find any toilet paper.......LOL

I miss Makati so soooo much..I have worked and lived in this area for a bout 4 years and I miss the traffic, the food, the crowd.

I so so miss walking in the busy streets of Makati.

Anyone here feels the same?

This thread is cool shape.. My husband was so amazed with trike although it is hard for us to fit inside (masikip kasi) heheheh!. He doesn't even know what a carabao is.. (ignorante! heheheh) He hates traffic in here and he said there is no traffic rules (nahuli kami and we just paid the enforcer..lol).. How about the cow with a lot of stuff? (yung baka na may hila hilang paninda?). He doesn't want to ride "kalesa". He is planning to ride a jeepney next time...

Wow Shape what a good timing. I made a blog that features things that can only be found in the Philippines. In fact, I entitled it "Onli in da Pilipins." I just started it actually. Lately, I realized that the days left for me to stay here is thinning everyday. So, I thought of paying tribute to my home country by making a blog na related lahat sa Pilipinas. I am quite glad Ryan gave me a digital camera as his birthday gift, that way I can take pictures that will catch my interest and write a few details about it. This is a great thread! You can visit the blog that I just made too or I'll just post a few pictures here.

Musta na u? Miss u.

Hello,

Its really fun, to let your spouses try what we have here in Philippines. I have tried it and let my husband experienced some of our things here, and he have liked it a lot. Onli Onli in da Philippines.

WE CALL THIS TRICYCLE

Not amazing to Indians -- this is India's "national vehicle", known as autorickshaw; also common in Indonesia where it actually is named "Bajaj", after the world's top manufacturer (an Indian company) of such.

Another thing, the OVERCROWDED passengers in MRT.

You've been pwn'ed long ago--topped (for overcrowding) by Mumbai Suburban Rail System

A vehicle doesn't count as overcrowded unless it is so full that people are either riding on top or (like the KTM 'Micro') people are actually standing in the open doorway while the vehicle is moving, holding on for dear life - I actually ended up doing this once(yes I am crazy, but I imagine this definitely makes me an honorary Nepali.... )

Is the "micro" a train (LRT) or bus system?

(edit: these are actually the RULE in Indian bus systems EXCEPT for BEST in Mumbai--the only one in the country known to enforce the "standees" limit; no such enforcement on Mumbai's Suburban Rail System however)
