    Got another unwelcome surprise today: Valencia now bans parking on the side of the street on the block with M Lhuillier. Maybe it's temporary. I hope so. If not, it seems like the municipality is hell-bent on destroying any budding commercial growth in the center of town. With now three parallel blocks in the central zone under interminable road construction (and the loss of those parking areas), the municipality is in a dead heat with Dumaguete for parking idiocy.

    Most of that is tongue in cheek but I assure you I am far more considerate than the locals when it comes to driving and parking. I do not get in the way of others by leaving my car unattended with the hazard on, I don't park where there is a no parking sign posted and I know how to keep it between parking lines. I will walk 3-4 blocks or more if I need to actually do the shopping or have to wait any longer than a minute or two. You would be hard pressed to find a Filipino in this country that has anything negative to say about me.

    There is plenty of parking in Valencia. Walking a city block is not that difficult. If not just turn on your hazard lights and park wherever you like.

    Every time I go to Valencia I park at the right side of the market (facing towards the Municipal) in the side street, no problem. Always space there.

    Now, this is very interesting.

    Person A does all the actual shopping.

    Person B sits in car with reclining chair, small freezer to cool the beer, movie screen with touch control.

    It is Person B who says "Shopping in town is actually quite enjoyable and relaxing now" ... the person who is NOT actually doing the shopping. :smile:
