Commuting

Commuting in Manila is truly an artform. And by artform what I mean is that you are likely to do things that seem improbable and silly in pursuit of a particular end. This is largely due to Metro Manila being one of the top 20 cities worldwide in population and something like #4 in population density. Oh and traffic laws are essentially non-existent. I mean I've been to a lot of places and Manila is right at the top of traffic absurdity. The most funny thing is that most public transportation vehicles have a "how am I driving?" sign with a phone number on the back of it. It begs the question Erik West asked: "what would you say? He failed to cut off someone in traffic that he could cut off?"
