Cabs are the way to go, but keep your wits about you. I forgot to have change one time, and we ended up surrounded by a dozen cabs in an out of the way spot. After the driver got out to talk with his buddies, I got impatient and wanted to go find him. The wife tried to keep me from getting out of the cab. Just as I untangled my self, the cabbie finally came back with some change, not quite enough, and fresh directions to where we were trying to get to.

The wife always got scared when I would argue with the cabbies. I learned to relax when I figured out that the 50 or 100 pesos extra under discussion only worked out to around a dollar or two US.

In the PI, we are restricted to only taking regular cabs, the ship's liberty policy prohibits any of those open bay ones you see with 20 people riding in them.

He was suspended from school. To some people, that means he was bad news and had it coming.

The Jeepney's? If you can't duck walk under the low overhead, you may want to avoid those. However, when we visited Tagaytay and Marco's Palace in the Sky, we had to take one to get up the hill. Those Jap and Korean built minivans don't have the same pulling power as what started as something American built many decades ago.

We didn't have a choice, our Chief of Staff and CO told us explicitly not to ride those, I guess people were getting robbed or worse on them. I know some of the sailors that were Flillipino still rode on them. Same like Nam, we couldn't ride on mopeds there but the guys from there could.

Lol, I wouldn't say terrible. Depends on what country you are in. Japan, very civil and courteous(well, most of the time. Once a guy hit my friend's RX7 and didn't even slow down, just kept driving, even though he took the door off the car.) Korea, just remember this rule: The bigger the vehicle, the more right of way you have. China, pretty decent, didn't drive there, just took a bunch of cabs. PI, don't even bother, just cab it and look at the pretty lights :dance:

You got that right. Riding in the PI is an adrenaline rush
