We are in La Union now from kuya's internet cafe here.

There are 10 stations, 19" LCD screens, new computers and good dsl access here. All for 15 pesos an hour.

. The keyboards all work too, yeah!

There are so many cool pictures to post but not enough time at the moment.

The air quality is better out in the provinces. The views are very beautiful too as the roads wind around the mountains.

These are from Manila. There are some leftovers before we left. This card holds 2 Gb so we can take a lot of photos without clearing the card off.

Anyway, the rural pics are coming soon.

This is the "all things plastic for P20" man.

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.

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.
