Here again there are no flash photos allowed. These are the best of many trying to get the settings right.

From inside the chapel.

There are many more non-church pics coming up after this series.

Even if you are not a fan of the Catholic church these are beautiful (IMO)

The inside of the chapel is awesome but the fans on the sides of the pews did not work.

Also Pinang acted as if she did not know me after I set the camera on the podium to steady the camera for a shot of the altar.

The burial markers are a bit unusual IMO as they should not be a part of the church.

Jesus on the cross at the back of the chapel.

There are so many Jesus's in this church it's confusing. They are all nearly life sized too.

The metadata is capturing more and more information. Most people don't know it's there, included in every digicam photo. There's even talk of including GPS information in the future - which would be especially nice for news images, where you could work out exactly where the shot was taken.

From the Manila museum. They do not allow photo of the inside of the museum.

These are of the cobblestone in the front. I don't know how old they are but probably from early 1700s.

Nice but they are very slippery when wet.

Mrs Slang has just asked me if I'm still drinking beer....and still posting photos to the cellar.

We all know what that means.

More later.

Maybe something was lost in the translation?

It still makes me a bit nervous to see guys walking around with M4s.

This was at the gas station. He was there to protect an armored car.

Many of the others that I've seen here are in full tactical and are looking much more serious than this young fellow.

OK. Transport it is.

slang · 09-05-2007, 08:41 AM

Scratch that.

I've found something that may be more interesting and funny than photos of the transport here.

These are out of the newspaper here and I've prepared a few that are a bit out of the ordinary for Americans.

These are just a few pages of the overseas job ads.

Notice that there are jobs for the native Filipinos in a very wide variety of countries.

A condo advert and a car dealership.
