Welcome to July everyone and another Monday Thoughts video! We hope you all enjoyed your weekend with family and friends! Let’s start this week off right!
I was asked in a comment (actually 2 comments) about driving in the Philippines this past week. George Melo asked why we were using a driver during a recent video. We had hired Kuya Jomar as our driver last year to get the kids back and forth to school. Since he was used to this routine and I am only home for a few short days each visit, there was no need to mess with the routine they followed. Not only was he a very good driver, but he helped as well while Maly was shopping in the market. He would help to carry the items she bought out to the van and then return to pick up more if needed. He is also good at finding parking and other areas that I am not as familiar with while in town.
Mr Farley Fernandez asked how I rated the driving here. To be honest, I find driving here not so bad. Sure, there are your traffic problems and such, but for the most part it is pretty good driving up where we are at. We do not have the congestion like they do down in Manila. We have a lot of more open roads. The main issue I would say are the road hazards that seem to pop out of no where in the driving lanes. The government has spent money on road widenings, but often these are now just extra parking spaces instead of a place to drive. Oh, and you cannot forget the occasional light pole sticking right in the middle of a lane.
