Stuck in Traffic in the Philippines
Manila or Jakarta, hmmm which city has worst traffic? Bangkok is great compared to Manila or the Philippines in general.

I read sometimes these extreme systematically how to travel pages sometimes, where somebody explains everything about how to go from A to Z. I normally think this is over the edge, I however think this type of guide is needed.
I was going to Mariveles, Philippines today, however got on the bus, sat for a few minutes and decided the game was a no go.
Called up Mark in a place Malabon and he was to meet me in the San Francisco Coffee Shop. I go from BF Home to the overpass at Ever Gotesco and cannot get a taxi. I ask some boys, which bus, and they say Cubao. I get on this, they say, wrong bus, Quiapo. I get on Quiapo and arrive an hours later in Ermita. Total cost was 20 peso for the motorcycle taxi and 25 pesos for the Bus.
Hindsight is 20/20, I could now do this 30 minutes faster, because I know the bus, and where to stand, but… I was trying to take a taxi.
Mark never arrived, he text messaged me and said they taxi refused to come for less than 300 Pesos, I think the normal meter price is 125.
