As some of you may know, and for others that don’t, I’m currently spending my Christmas/New Years break in the Philippines. Been here since the 20th of December, and won’t be back home until January 12th. Its been a great trip so far, spending time with family I’ve never met, seeing the places where my parents grew up, and at the end of it all, appreciating how lucky I am to live where I live, and learning to not take what I have in everyday life for granted.

An older Evo:

A school bus??? Sweet!:

That being said, I never forgot about you guys. The car scene here is way different than in Canada, traffic is nuts here! The lines on the roads are just suggestions, a two lane highway turns into a 3/4 lane highway. In traffic, if there is a spot on the road for a vehicle, there will be one there.

Anyways, here are some random snaps of different interesting vehicles that I’ve seen so far, ranging from public transportation, nicely done cars, to vehicles that I don’t see on a normal basis.

There were all sorts of mini vans that weren’t that mini. These look like they seat a minimum of 9 people, but are very stylish compared to the vans in North America. This one is a Hyundai Stariex:

This is a Jeepney. It is a common form of public transportation in the bigger cities:

A slightly modified newer Legacy wagon. How come they look much better here?

A new Ford Fiesta S. We will probably get the watered down version in North America:

Toyota Ardeo Vista. Another car I’d like to see in North America:

A clean Fit/Jazz on Volk Gram Lights:

A nice Jeep belonging to a friend of the family:

Thats all for now. Hope you enjoyed it so far. I’ll leave you with this pic… more on it soon:
