Philippines, Here we come. Need info

[shugar]

oh, the buses in the province, even the airconditioned ones, are not as good as the ones in manila (Tritan, Jam, etc). and in most cases, theyre a little smaller (but obviously bigger than a taxi). but if you are a seasoned backpacker, that shouldn't worry you at all, though. besides, its always cheaper to commute. thats another (additional) dive or two for you, pitri.

ha! who says the provincial buses are fugly. . . this one we took going back to Cebu have plasma TV! The buses you guys are talking about are those that are a size of a mini van, what we took is a bigger one.

And the buses are pretty fast, try ROUGH RIDERS . . . . they are truly THE KING OF THE ROAD.
