Driving

Ever wonder what it is like to drive in the Philippines? Take a look at this video and you can find out! I really enjoyed driving in and around Bacolod. It was a blessing to have our own vehicle to help us get acclimated to the area and be able to come and go as needed. And it was fun to drive a stick (something I had not done in 15+ years). In spite of the craziness of driving in the Philippines, I did not witness a single accident. Vehicles drive relatively slow (with all of the tricycles and Jeepneys on the road), and even on open stretches of highway outside of the city, I generally kept under 80 kph (about 50 mph) and only very rarely went above 100 kph (about 62 mph).

    It looked very comfortable to be driving those 3+ minutes. it looked like people were being very considerate of others.

    Love you all, Mom Muth

      Yes, things move pretty slow within the city. Vehicles seem to slowly pull out into traffic and generally do not have much trouble in intersections.
