Best Posts in Thread: No Tricycles/Pedicabs between Dumaguete and Sibulan?

Trikes don't belong on the highway IMHO, their constant pick up and drop off passengers stop the traffic and make a lot of dangerous situations. A modernization of the public transport system is much needed, will it happen it the next decade? I don't think so. I love driving my small bike and not so much the car, it's a shopping cart and can bring my dog, he likes excursions. Recently been in Bacolod on the bike, bigger city compared to Dumaguete so no surprise worse traffic and driving habits. Last month in Manila take a habal habal to my hotel 10 km away, faster in the heavy traffic, that's not for everyone, they drive worse than me, that says a lot, in and out between cars. I use my horn a lot, and on the bike, I use my deep voice at the same time with a lot of F#*k words. A Filipino told me to honk with the horn means happy happy . I don't like the traffic here but of course, I accept it. 2 days ago 2 guys on a bike first stop when the guy in the front nodding his head in the back of my car, it's was on the south Highway heading towards Dumaguete at the French bakery and fruit market, I stopped, but the slipped in a hurry on a small path beside the church there, fine to me, because the traffic here is closely connected to the 2 other things I really hate here but need to accept if I want to live here, but same time I do all to avoid it, it's the healthcare and the justice system, both are a big joke seen from my point of view. My next step will be a helicopter on the roof deck. Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

The pool structure is a cinch - use rollers. I am still thinking about how best to move the water - that one beats me.

 

The HPG was diverting them for a few hours and as soon as they left it was business as usual, but if this law sticks I think next will be the south highway. There timing was strange. The north highway traffic has been horendious while the road was being replaced from Agan-An to Sibulan but now it's finished and traffic seems much less of a problem.
