the idea behind these kind of threads is to make pleasant or entertaining reading
this is not, get some serious hobby you are turning into a bitter old man (seriously you might not notice yourself but I have met my share)
1. Dumaguete trafic is still a walk in the park compared to manila or any big city in the world really, that there are so many females on scooters etc sort of proves it (not sure if female drivers make things safer but they tend to stay out of mad trafic)
2. Yes there are ppl trying to make a living everywhere in the Philipines, street salesmen can be a bit of a nuisance if you are not used to it (you live if the country for 8 years) but they are trying to make an honest living and you got no idea how desperate some are to make some money. Advantage is that everywhere you go you can purchase water, sigaretes etc., everywhere ppl are running shops and providing services.
3. the garbage burning is all over the place even in the city, it is something they should look into, ppl burning stuff in the country-side is common practice all over the world though  |
