tricycles







Aside from the jeepneys, you know that you are in the Philippines if you see tricycles going around. Thailand has tuk tuks and their mororcys, Vietnam has their cyclos and in Indonesia you have their becak. I like the term my mother used to call these contraptions, she used to call them motor calesas when I was still very young. Later on she adapted the more popular term for this mode of transport. It takes you anywhere you want to go. Sometimes you even get to share the ride with other people. Best of all it is less smelly than the real calesas specially if you find the smell of gasoline more tolerable.

Merry Christmas everyone!
