Only in the Philippines...




Only in the Philippines do they dry corn and rice on the sides of the highways, every driveway, parking lot and any patch of asphalt or cement. Cars drive over the grains and people walk on them. Someone rakes it throughout the day to turn the moist kernals to the top and when it's dried they sack it up and load it onto trucks to take to be milled or stored.



Only in the Philippines do they celebrate Christmas in the "ber" months. So beginning with September you sing Christmas carols at church and see Santas and Christmas trees appearing around the town! (I guess that is what happens when you don't have Halloween and Thanksgiving to look forward to on your Fall calendar.)Here our office elders are outside of NE (one of our local grocery stores.)




Only in the Philippines can you purchase an entire branch of bananas for 100 pesos (around $2.00) There must have been 50 bananas on this branch that the Breese's bought from a roadside stand.
