11 August 1999

I had a new experience in Filipino public transportation yesterday.  We were in the Lungsod (centre of town) just coming from Basud on foot, and we needed to go all the way out to Jamorawan.  A jeepney came along, so we decided to ride.  The inside was full, the racks on the back were crowded, and there was no more room to top-load (ride on the roof rack).  There was, however, a little ledge running along the side of the jeep.  It was one inch wide.  So I grabbed hold of the roof rack and stepped on the little ledge.  I rode all the way to Jamorawan like that.  It was kind of fun.  I felt like Indiana Jones.

There's a jeepney under that mass of people.  This is right after we got off in Jamorawan
