TRANSPORT



The usual forms of transport here are the "jeepney". They are old war jeeps left over from world war 2 which was huge here for the Yanks.These jeeps have now being decorated with all sorts of shining,flashing,jingling,annoying shit.They are pretty cool though and do represent the character truely of the filipino people,Happy.
They run like shit and puff more black smoke than loyang-b.The transport here is an absolute dream considering its still Asia,busses are aplenty,super cheap and you will generally wait no longer than 10 minutes to be picked up on the side of any road.On top of that all the locals are really really helpful on helping you get to where you want to go,all you have to do is know where that is.
Also motorbikes are a good way on some islands,no crashes yet.The best fun i had on one was letting massive firecrackers off behind unsuspecting victims walking on side road, harsh "yes",entertaining "hell Yes" and also what seems to be "accepted", (in a way)
