A Fiddler on the Roof


"A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little village of Dumaguete, you might say everyone of us is like a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy."

This photo shows 3 on a motorbike. What you can't see is a 4th person, a young girl, perched behind her dad.

4 on a motorbike: as normal for Philippinos as 4 in a car is for us.

All fiddlers on the roof!

To OAOA:
The trip from Manila to Dumaguete, is on a 737. Only about 80 passengers. We traveled over several islands, some shrouded in clouds/fog. The airport at Dumaguete is a short runway (no 747's could do this one) and has an open air building for arriving passengers.
