Road Scene 1

(Where we show interesting stuff as seen on the road, en route to work and everywhere else. My daily grind is the Consolacion - Mandaue Highway, right turn to AS Fortuna, left turn to Banilad (Countrymall) and finally PDI Condo. Normal days I take my father's beat up Toyota, or if I feel like saving on gas (or if the Toyota suddenly hates me and doesn't want to work properly) I do public transport. For the record, I think commuting by public transport trumps private vehicle any day. It is much more interesting, infinitely cheaper, and more environmentally sustainable. Driving a car is only justifiable when you have to go home really late: taxi fare actually is more costly than just gassing up. Driving a car is also justifiable when you want to cruise around to impress girls. But if you already have a pretty girlfriend, it is best you avoid this at all cost. Besides, if you have a beat up old Toyota who will suddenly give up on you for no reason, you will be getting a different kind of impression than what you intend.)

In this episode of Road Scene, we have an old Taxi Driver trying to fix his cab under the rain. It is of utmost importance that he does not get wet. So manong ingeniously solved this by climbing his car and taking shelter under the hood.

It is unknown if he successfully repaired his vehicle.

By the way, don't you just miss the rainy days?
