Wonder what makes someone use the name Jiz for their online cafe?

Maybe it has a different meaning or is a name here. This was from Guadalupe.

Ok, these are from the pronvince.

This is a tricycle that is for family use only. Two adults and three children use it regularly to get around out here.

It's in a lot better shape than most of the tricycles in Manila for hired transport.

I'd love to ride it around with Pines but I had a "little accident" with one a few years ago and am not sure they would be enthusiastic about having me take it out.

More shots to give you a better idea of what these are like.

Has a little dashboard there in the sidecar and a sturdy steel rack on the roof to carry large items like furniture or another passenger.

slang · 10-23-2007, 06:30 AM

Anywhere you might possibly hang a pig or a goat or maybe even another passenger, there is a reinforcing rack.

You will see in later photos that these tricycles often carry a lot more than we might imagine.

This is private school in La Union.

The second photo is of the classroom as a test was in process. We had to wait until the test was complete to extract kuya's little boy so I had the chance to take a look around and get some photos.

The tuition here is P15k per schoolyear.

slang · 10-23-2007, 07:21 AM

This is a small school here but it's well known for the kids' higher grades and test scores.

To contrast the two I'll try to get some of the public school.

The biofuel possibilities here seem high. Biodiesel can be made from coconuts and since this country is the one of the largest growers of them it seems logical that this may be a largescale product.

Logic doesn't always prevail in these areas though.

This is the cafe that I'm in right now. It's in a new strip mall ( sorta thingy ) and there are several others serving the young gamers.

The second shot is the kids riding the tricycle home from the cafe. There are 3 additional kids in the sidecar that are not visible in the shot.

This is one of the local resorts (??) that are on the South China Sea. As you can see the property is for sale but because they are only acceepting offers from people that happen to trip onto it, they can't possibly be serious about selling.

There is no price listed either.

This is what I'd consider to be an undeveloped beach as there are only the grass huts for the most part here on the shore.

I don't know what the prices for lots are here either but they are probably much less than the US.

The fishing boats are all small like these and launched from the beach. They use nets to catch the fish IIRC.

Even here on the beach the breeze coming off the sea seems warm. At sunset the US beaches normally cool off a bit while the breeze here still seems unusually warm.
