Only in the Philippines...

Here are a few more unique happenings in the Philippines!

Only in the Philippines do they move people in every conceivable type of vehicle. If you're lucky enough to have a truck you can really pack them in. I love all the colorful hats on these folks.

Only in the Philippines do they have little geckos everywhere and people love to have them in their homes because they eat bugs! We ate dinner at some member's home and the front room wall was crawling with these little critters.

Only in the Philippines do you see wash hanging outside every little home. Some homes have clothes lines but most just make do with the fence, trees or bushes.

Only in the Philippines are their little Sari Sari shops at every corner. They sell all kinds of snacks and soda pop. If you can't afford the bottle they pour the pop in a plastic bag and give you a straw.

Only in the Philippines (and a few other countries) do you see meat shops with slabs of meat hanging from hooks, out in the open with flies all over the meat. They also sell all kinds of meat like goat, pigs feet, etc. (There are also some nice butcher shops where we can buy meat, but those are too expensive for the general public.)

I'll keep you posted on additional only in the Philippines!
