I love jeepneys LOL

The crazy island ferry that everyone uses to get around.

Bank robbery must be a problem here.

Me feeding the local homeless kids. I also bought them each a pair of flip flops.

It's cool to see the normal everyday things you don't see on tv.

He doesn't live there. He works there. He makes much $$$ there.

Why do you think we live here?

We make more in a day than most people make in a week.

Me stuffing my fat ass in a little tiny jeepney.

A bunch of guys were making rubber bushings out of old tires. I thought it was interesting(wish I could have had more time for better pics but jeepney pulled up)

Beverage of the locals.

This guy was retanking brass radiators and this looked like a brass heater core.

Oops picked the wrong jeepney.

Girlfriend in the jeepney.

Stopped at a welding shop today. Took some pics of the equipment. You guys will love this stuff. The internet is too slow to connect to photobucket though so you will have to wait until later.

does that kid have a condom balloon?

Didnt look. I decided to do my part before I left to control condom waste by making my ex wife get proper non condom birth control for my trip.

On another interesting note. I got into an altercation with a trike/cab driver today in my running around town. If you want to go somewhere you just tell the cab driver what you want to see and they take you to see it. Generally Americans end up paying twice as much as the locals which is not a problem because the locals usually pay 7PHP for a cab ride(I usually just give them 20PHP because im a nice guy.Well I had a little trip to the welding shop and off the IBB motors (the jeepney place). Well he tried to charge me 200PHP for the trip. I gave him 50PHP and told him if he doesnt get lost I will call police. If he wasnt trying to fuck me over I probably would have given him the 200PHP as a tip because I reward honesty. So he knew he wasnt going to get more money from me if the police show up and may me pay the usual rates so he decides to get in my face.LOL Bad move, I grabbed him by the neck and told him he better move the fuck on

Ok we have a good enough internet signal to post up some pics from yesterday and today. Yesterday we went out and hung out with her family in a little town out in the boonies called Sta Rita. The people there are the friendliest I have met in a long time. The disposition of these people is really something I am jealous of as an American. The happily poor people smiling and singing is just amazing to see. It is really beyond the comprehension of the way we live.

Anyways. This is "granny". She is the head of the Calutan family and the one who raised my girlfriend as a child.

Here is the house my girlfriend grew up in.

I'm going yes b/c there is clothes hanging out on the side of the house for drying.

slappynuts · « **Reply #45 on:** January 30, 2012, 08:02:18 AM »

Yes. her granny has been living there for 30 years.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #46 on:** January 30, 2012, 08:45:35 AM »

Damn. She must not know what to do with herself here.

She isnt here yet but I am working on getting her here (just started). I have known her for four years and she has proven to me that she will not be like the people here who try to live beyond their means to impress others. My ex wife for most of our relationship had no problem driving herself and our kids around in VW rabbits I bought at the impound auctions for nothing and living in a house we owned outright. Somewhere along the line she lost her perspective. I dont expect this one to do that.

Quite honestly, our involvement in their lives is a bad thing. These people live this way happily ( I envy that). Contrary to the way American people have been programmed,there is happiness in places like this. They do not equate happiness to a dollar amount.

I seen some of these super poor towns in Colombia. When I was younger my parents would walk into the poorest of poor homes and give the locals a few $$$ to buy food. Its hard not to want to help when people are in that kind of state......

Got 8 fillings done and my teeth cleaned for $103. Time to pack up and head home.

Arc welder is sweet!

slappynuts · « **Reply #53 on:** January 31, 2012, 10:49:58 AM »

Made it to my gate in manila with 10 min to spare.

That welder is sweet but the gas welding set up is even sweeter.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #54 on:** January 31, 2012, 11:06:49 AM »

Now that you had fun, get back and DO WORK! I want to see some rippers from any of the projects!
