I spent a few days aimlessly wandering around Manila alone last year.

Market near chinatown

Lice hunting

Jeepneys are left over military jeeps left by the US in WWII.They now serve as the most popular means of public transport.

Inside

The ghettos here are very very serious.

Every taxi driver without a doubt will try to steal or cheat you in some way be on your guard.

If you find yourself in Manila definitely try to go to a chicken fight.

My original plan was to leave the city for the whole winter to escape the snow. Instead its been steadily between 40-60 throughout the entirety of January and February.

A chicken bus is an ancient school bus purchased from the USA and brought down into Guatemala. Operated by a 2 man team consisting of a driver and a helper they are lavishly decorated with images of Jesus and Looney Tunes. It is the most common means of transportation amongst working class Guatemalans.

Luggage goes on the top, also not uncommon to see people riding on the top.

Experiences can vary, but if its not for too long it can be very engaging and enjoyable experience.

A bad example of the inside, these things are typically filled to the brim with people so bad I couldn’t get up and capture a proper photo of it.

This man has been operating his bus since he was 15.

Keeping your bus mechanically in good shape ensures you will be able to drive at an absurd speed.

My mother is a talented woman. In the Soviet Union she developed her own film and printed it as well. For years now I’ve been hassling her to get a camera that would match her talents more appropriately. Finally this Christmas she did and with spectacular results.
