Tonchi - you have some good points to consider but there is no time for me to write a decent reply AND get these photos posted.

Zip - just call me "hairless ass" then man. Some things can be done, others just cant. Maybe if there was some type of reward but even then, it'd be iffy.

Severed pig's head; it's what's for dinner. Looks yummy doesnt it?

Those people that were boiling the pig's head invited me for dinner. It was tempting as you might imagine but I had to politely decline.

Welcome to Manila, please ride our silly horsecarriages because without those tourists doing so they might starve.

The funny thing about this photo op was that the driver had come over to talk to us as we were facing the opposite direction. As he said "that's my horse and carriage over there", while pointing in that direction, the horse was urinating a large puddle.

Perfect timing. No closeup of the puddle though, sorry.

It's cold there in the states now but it's hot here. Hot and humid. The water here is supposedly potable but we all know that an American cant drink it without being on the can for hours and hours.

This is my slang sized water barrel. Not a bad size for $1.25, 6 litres.

This woman caught my attention. She's just washing a dog but the dog looked so annoyed by the bath that it was quite funny.

This area of Makati might be "middle class" but the whole area looked like something out of a horror film.

The people there were friendly and didnt seem to mind if I took their pictures if I'd ask first.

This is just one of another new friends I have here now. This one, "Eddy boy" was drinking a beer sitting outside his home. Oh, and he had a fish with him. Who am I to think it's strange to be drinking a beer, smoking cigarettes with a fish out next to the street at 6 am.

Very nice fellow but wouldnt take no for an answer for drinking a beer with him. The fish was kinda cool too.
