Many thx to both of you. Its interesting that the old original jeepnees are being forced to leave service, being replaced by newer designs... Keep up the great work. Cheers Glenn
@SouthPaths9 ай бұрын
The operators are in great debate about replacing them. Also the cost to the riders will go up, quite a bit.

nice simple walkabout video. i love walking but it’s not for the faint of heart in southeast asia, except singapore, which is the disney version of asia. jeepneys are fun the first time, okay the second time and serious incentive to find the nearest toyota dealer by the third time. pretty countryside view. i guess that los banos and laguna de bay is on the other side of those mountains beyond the padi fields. read about the “raid on los banos” in 1945. 18yo filipina debut party is very filipino experience. cheers.

I saw a video about it. Very interesting, the site is now soccer fields at Los Banos University. My girls mother talked of the atrocities committed then by the Japanese. sad really. Very sad.

THAT was a real tuff adventure for an 'old fart' like me ! --- Perhaps a "grab" with some AC would have been my idea - w/very little walking --&-- no jeepneys ? Cost difference would have been worth it for me !!! 🤗 Too old for all that. 👍🙏✌
