I thought I'd add a few pictures so you can see what things are like here. These are some pictures we took on the way home from Subic. Things in Manila are WAY more crowded. These pictures are from out in the Provinces. Many "helpers" (maids, drivers, yayas...that's what they call nannys) that live in Manila for work, go home to the Provinces to visit their families on the weekends or on holidays.

The jeepneys lined up waiting for passengers. A jeepney ride costs 7 Pesos...or 15 cents!
A trike: these are illegal where we live, but are everywhere out in the Provinces. They have the same rights on the road as cars. It is really annoying to get stuck behind trikes and not be able to pass them. *B* and I rode in one.....he barely fits! It is quite the adventure!
This is what many of the open markets look like that the Filippinos shop at.
