I wonder how dangerous that is? Cool pics fella. It is great that you met Luisa!

Danger is not a big consideration here. I see people doing things all the time and cringe for their safety.

Yes, Luisa and Aunte are very interesting to talk to and generous with alco drinks / ice cream. :)

Shes got a b-day coming up so I would expect to get some folks together for that too.

And, Luisa speaks very clear English. Not just compared to a pinoy but even for Americans.

No Zippy, I didnt eat the head.

Lite Weight !!!

Check out the nitro bottle on the tricked out bike there

And the tricked out exhaust and the hand grips and the such , all color coordinated and the such !!!
Thats a STUD MOBILE if I ever saw one !!!

:lol: :lol:

The chicken heads frighten me.;)

I think that's an oil tank piped into the case.

I believe that you are right Bruce. A nitro bottle sounds so much faster than an oil tank though. :blush:

The plaque tells the reader in Spanish and Tagalog that the statue is that of King Felipe the II of Spain after whom the country was originally named (Filipinas).

Slang, try to catch a picture of 6 people plus a newborn baby speeding by on the motor bike or scooters. It is amazing how nobody falls off considering they look like they are sitting on the wheels already. :headshake

There should be a photo almost like that a few pages back.

This is one of the native cakes that sells around here. Everyone tells me the cakes are wonderful but they don't look like what they are supposedly made from so I just take the pics and let someone else comment on their goodness.

One man's "delicious" is another man's dry heaves. :)

The firehouse in Comembo has been a regular place to stop in and visit.

We have firefighters as well as cops in my family and well, they all say that they stick together. Maybe not from all countries but yes, from the Phils.

We handed off some gifts from the firefighters in the US and they gave us this patch.

Very cool.

Have a little (SM ) beer, sing a little song, dance a little dance.

Drinking the beer is cheaper than running the AC all day. These little pinoy beers hit the spot after pedalling around.

Billboards in Guadalupe.

Rap music is growing in popularity here.

Rap can often be heard from inside of cars much as the US.

Last week we ran into one of the rap producers in Manila. As we packed into the light rail I saw him texting on his phone

When he was finished I made it a point to speak to him and to get his contact info. It seems that he's had a top 10 rap hit on radio here.

If he invites us to anything rap oriented I'll bring the camera and the sound recorder. I'm guessing that is has a unique sound coming from here.

This photo is a promotion of an event that is not the rap star's.
