The Beepney-Jeepney: January 22, 2016

So a jeepney is a jeep/bus they jam people in. There are two rows facing each other and it is basically knee to knee. From what I understand there isn't a company that owns the jeepneys but they just kind of do it on their own. There is some organization and they have names of where they are going but it isn't government public transportation or anything. I found one that was named Jerry & Emily. I also saw one named Annie but didn't grab a picture in time. Well anyway, we had gone with mentor Gilbert to a center not far from the main office. It was a good center and very few of the women were in default. The women made pot holders and peanut butter, ran sorry sorry stores, and one was an even an Avon dealer. I really want to try one of the Nanay's peanut butter but I was having a hard time communicating with her. Anyway, we ended up leaving an hour later than we were supposed to because, you know: Filipino time. We got on a crowded jeepney and it was bumper to bumper traffic. After being on it for an hour we passed the McDonald's that was ten minutes away from the center. I was so mad. Almost three hours later we traveled 10 km (6.2 miles) and arrived back at the office. It was very hot and I was covered in mine and other people's sweat! Next time I am sure a better attitude and a smile or two on my face would make for a less miserable ride. And some headphones and a book on tape.
