The Philipinne way of life

... on the road to El Nido.

As a preview for my upcoming blog about my journey to the Philippines, I've already made a small selection.
With this selection I want to give a sight on the daily life of the Philippine people on the countryside. You will notice a huge contrast between the modern, fast running place we live in.

I apologise for the quality of these pics. These pictures were mainly taken during a downpour driving to and from El Nido, Palawan. The driver had a heavy foot and I can assure you the roads were very bumpy. So it was more like lucky shooting... (the other pics of the Philippines are fortunately much better)
Anyway, with these pics I just want to show you their pace of life. Don't forget to look at the smiles on the school boys and girls.
I quote a Philippine friend of mine: "Always smile because a smile can wipe the wrinkles away."

Do you also wonder what this kid is doing?

These 2 kids definitely have the cute factor

The last one is very blurry but I posted this for a reason. While all those kids were coming from school, these 2 kids came from the forest... from work.
