Jeepneys...

Jeepneys are the way we have learned to get around Manila. They are these Jeep/bus things that you just wave down, hop on the back, yell at the driver where you want to go, give him 7 pesos ($0.14 approx.) and just ride. When you are ready to get off...you knock on the roof and just hop back off the back and mosey on your way. It's awesome! We've only had one bad experience where we hopped on a jeepney and it ended up taking us to the exact opposite end of town and then told us to get off...haha, but we ended up making it to where we needed to go.

Rodney holding on...these streets are crazy.
If you can't tell, it's hot here...
The back of a Jeepney...just hop on and hop off.

Fellow jeepney rider and the driver...and the interior decor

Different jeepneys...there are a wide variety to choose from. Each driver pimps out their own jeepney in their own personal style...

  1. Wish we had Jeepneys here! Could create some amusing tales...even hilarious! Just be careful. Still waiting for any news on a pedi-cab. Love you two bunches and take care of each other.
