Speaking of jeepneys and crooks...
Last time I took a jeepney was on the way home from immigration about 9 years ago...
I had my passport in a velcro-locked pocket in my cargo shorts... When I allighted the jeepney close to my home I did not notice that my passport went missing while riding the jeepney. But when I got home you can understand my frustrations...
Getting a new passport made in a country on the other side of the globe is not easy, it involved several trips up to Manila to the embassy and 3 weeks of waiting. Plus it cost me an arm and a leg...
So be careful riding those jeepneys, hold on to your valuables and try to get a 'safe' seat with only one side squeezed up against somebody.
For me... That was my last jeepney ride... |
