Everyday Sights

Everyday for us, maybe not for you...
man riding a carabao (water buffalo) through the village
street scene...
that little trimobile (motorscooter with a sidecar) is called a trisikel and is one of the most common modes of transport -- as are their man-powered pedi-cab alternative called a padyak
padyaks don't just transport people - here he is hauling a load of peeled coconuts notice the family behind him on the motor scooter - the most common family vehicle
a bangka out on the ocean

the infamous jeepney

their motto? "ALWAYS room for one more!"
the meat market...
just be glad they haven't figured out how to post smells on a blog
the vegetable marketthe fish market
a common meal served with rice
carabao (water buffalo) pulling a cart
cookstoverunning through the rice fields
a little sari-sari store...sari means variety...
they sell a little of this and a little of that
and are found on every corner
lots of different transportation options
firewood for sale, clothes drying
training fighting cocks just a house
