I told myself that I would learn to post pictures before I return from the Philippines in February- I know that's pitiful but I am so allergic to technology........anyway I wanted to show you guys what the literal other side of the world looks like so here goes.
Well, that turned out better than I expected tho I only intended to post one picture that I wanted to try to caption. Another day. More later.
Great pictures! Enjoyed them. Those flooded terraces are pretty cool. Thanks for posting.
Great pix. Thanks for sharing that. Praying for your safe return.
Wow!! You should have been posting those cool pic,s the whole time you were there!!! I'm with reaper those terraces are cool!!
Tracker said that, I just like the pics.
I have taken so many pictures of these ancient rice terraces that my wife hides the camera now every time we drive into the mountains. The perfectly level construction and constant maintainance all by hand is a marvel to me. If you enlarge the picture with me and CrappieCooker you will see that we are surrounded by rice terraces with no housing more complex than a bamboo Nipa hut for miles and miles.
Three questions...
1) what's the fella in the first picture riding? I can't tell.
2) what's the going rate for HEALTHY HUMAN organs?
3) the last picture... I see the rope going IN the nose, but I see no exit rope or a knot where the exit rope reattaches to make a loop. Where does the rope go? All the way through? :Rofl
Very interesting pics and culture
(1) Thats a Filipino water buffalo called a carabao in the first and last picturesQuote:

(3) ha ha! Good one Alboy! That rope goes thru his septum with a small knot on the end. We have seen little bitty kids 3 at a time riding these half ton monsters. First one I met I tried to rub his head- didn't need to learn that lesson twice!
Ok I'm gonna try this again and see if it was a fluke that it actually worked out. We see several of these old WW2 trucks every day being used mostly to haul sugar cane out of the fields . About half of the trucks we encounter are being repaired roadside- they say they mostly manufacture needed parts cause they can't find or afford them. Anyway very cool vintage trucks in every color you could ever want!
Sorry. No idea how to quarter turn these photos.
Try holding the camera in the right position in the future. cool pics.Quote:

More than half of this section is deep mud or pavement busted up by overweight sugar cane rigs.
You're right Reaper- that's exactly what the problem is. Let me know when I become great aunt Sally who makes you watch all her old vacation videos every time you visit. It's all just practice for me as I try to perfect how to make little dinks look like slabs in my near future posts!
Nice C2, but we need more pics!!
Answer- one more. Pretty sure these pigs are all alive as some of them were squealing and kicking a little. We see two slung saddlebag style frequently but this one is the record.
that's what I call taking home the bacon!
Good one Reaper!!Quote:

I agree but then how would we control the roaches?
