Marvel Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 A lot of lttle store front shops... tbey make enough to get by. No Walmarts in the Philippines, but there are other large stores and malls. Not in as much direct competition though. The store is usually in the front with the house/sleeping area in back. Just takes a few steps to get to work... Laundry is often out drying... goes good with all the high sulfur diesel exhaust in the air. 🙄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Forgot... the silver/stainless steel object is a tricycle. They are custom attachments for motorcycles and will seat 2-3 people. Very inexpensive way to get around. There are also the larger jeepney, plus regular cabs, vans, buses and a light rail transit system. Since it is parked at this house, the owner proba ly drives this for a living. It would be locked up at night (or disappear). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well, waiting for others pics... On the streets in part of Manila. Rainy day... vendors selling all sorts of fresh fruits and veggies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It is a bit chilly in this country at the moment, even in Southern Cali, we are having a cold spell. I don't turn on the heat during the night, woke to a bedroom temp of 45 degrees. Perhaps, this pic, which is in rotation on my laptop, will bring a touch of warmth. A little solar flare, that can be up to 2 million degrees in temperature. Taken, not with my iPhone. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 When traveling, I always enjoy local architecture, including churches. This obviously shows the influence that Catholic Spain had over the Philippines for 300 yrs. Interestingly, the church was built in the early 1950s, the construction headed up by a U.S. Army chaplain. It was originally built for leprosy patients, so they wouldn't have to enter the nearby hospital grounds to attend church. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, haven't looked there in a while it got to be too much cartoonish characters for me. Plus I've got gigs of pics on separate storage drives that are getting to be too much!

Did you feel the 6.9 earthquake over there, it was Saturday morning. https://www.journalnow.com/news/nation_world_ap/strong-quake-off-philippines-prompts-panic-tsunami-warning/article_64caf67c-e141-50ee-971f-d8138f704029.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 @dtel Didn't feel a thing here. Stepson's girlfriend lives on the north end of Mindanao and was at work when it happened. The buildimg shook and lights were swinging, but no real damage where she is. Very little damage has been reported. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
