Philippines


Although I spent time in Manila, I really enjoyed visiting the city of Bacolod on Negros.

Forget planes, trains, and automobiles; try tricycles in the Philippines, escalators, steps, and boats in Japan. I rode the tricycle pictured below in the Philippines. It was comfortable, but difficult to get into. I don’t recommend it on crowded city streets.

Here’s a wheelchair shop. They make their own wheelchairs as it is too expensive to import them.
