Just when you think that they couldn't possibly find something more stupid to mandate than barriers for motorcycle riders ... they go and prove the magnitude of their capacity:
Never understood the whole holding hands things in a hot climate. Why do people think it's necessary? Is it supposed to be romantic? It seems to be especially popular amongst the old foreigner/ young Filipina brigade. Why do you do that gents? Pray tell...... The last thing I want to do when I'm out in this weather is hold someone's dirty, sweaty, clammy hand. Much rather get my paws around an ice cold beer
I have a feeling from the ratings that Mr R actually likes the idea and @jimeve wants to join in but doesn't like to ask.
What i have yet to figure out is who is really in charge of this year long dog and pony show?? Seems everyone has thrown their hats into the ring.. President, Senate, Congress, IATF, Dept of Education, Dept of Tourism, Dept of Finance, Dept of Transportation/LTO, PNP, Governors, Mayors, Barangay Captain. You can't blame the locals for being confused with all of this.. I change my jocks once a day but these rules change more often than that and now seems there is a power play going on also.. This is one thing about living here and that it is surely entertaining.
Well, maybe I can help you understand. Yeah, it is romantic. My wife of 8 years likes to hold onto my arm sometimes while walking slow, etc. Lucky for me her hands are not dirty. I'm in great shape so my body can tolerate heat with ease. But, we don't hang out in public much these days, prefer to stay home rather than visiting downtown 'face shield' world.
Young Filipina is letting other young Filipinas know who old foreigner belongs to. For some reason it reminds me of how my dog tells other dogs which trees are his.
