what I see

I took a few photos from the passenger seat in our Jeep as Garry and I drove to get Addie from school this morning. Just a few images of Manila.

Traffic-part of life in Metro Manila

Here is an example of the little food vendors that are all over the place in the city. They sit on the side of the road and cook local food. The locals eat at these for any of their meals. It's super cheap. Probably fifty cents for a meal. They just stand around the edge eating on the counter like the guy in the orange shirt. In front of the guy eat is another dude (shirtless as they often are) grilling meat on his grill on the side of the road, probably for the little store.

The motorized tricycle guys waiting for someone who needs a ride. Some trikes are motorized like these and others are just bicycles with the side car. I feel bad for the drivers when they are peddling a really big person who doesn't want to walk. Trikes are a super cheap way for locals to travel short distances in the city. Also the way Cora's youngest sister died just recently. She received a head trauma after the trike driver took a turn too fast and she fell off. We don't ride these.This is a residential home that doubles as a business on a neighborhood street. My dressmaker is right across the street so we drive by all the time. Dogs are outdoor pets for Filipinos. We often see dogs in outdoor crates like these. I always wonder why these folks sport the Pizza Hut banner. They are probably getting paid to hang it.

Shhh! The sign means "prostitutes here"
Jeepneys and KFC, wouldn't be Manila without either of these things. Sadly the Wendy's in SE Asia doesn't serve frosties; therefore it is useless to me.
