I took my nephew to the pedal car park the other day and here are a few pics from outing.

Residential properties are so crowded that Burnham park is very popular not only with the kids but everyone else as well.

Burnham Park is something on the line of Central Park in New York. You can see the details in the link below.

Burnham Park - Details and History

We should have taken a photo of all the different vendors renting various pedal cars. There are a lot of them.

They cost about $3 an hour to rent and the oval track is about 300 feet long.

For many kids, this is the first and only place that they can learn to ride a bike and then practice.

4 person cars, 2 person cars, 1 person cars and bicycles with training wheels are rented and ridden
here.

The gearing on all vehicles is pretty low so you can't get going too fast without pedaling faster than
is comfortable.

Lucas and I both rode for about 45 minutes.

It was fun for both of us. I got my exercise in for the day.

Temps here in Baguio have been 60-70f during the day. Nice temp for
fat guys riding pedal cars at high altitude.

I've been here in Baguio since Dec8-18. Just waiting for a phone
call for the next contract back in the US. Could be today, could be 3
months from now.

The economy here in the Philippines is slower. People a bit less friendly but not hostile.

There are so many cars sold here now that traffic is too much for me
to deal with. I walk or take taxis now. Sold my car outright. Driving here is so frustrating.

Baguio City gov't did make a change that is helpful. They've made it a requirement that when
you register a car, you must prove that you have a space to park it that is not in the street.

It doesn't sound like that would be terribly effective here but it's working
pretty well so far.

All my friends here are perfectly comfortable with just hanging out at home doing...don't know what.

My Korean pal came out for a coffee and some stories for a few hours, but that's about it.

We have Netflix in the Philippines now. Maybe that's what everyone is doing now. Watching reruns of Star Trek and Friends.
