You know what Americans take for granted, well besides their freedom of speech, freedom to vote…etc..It’s water. Clean water. I mean, in Milpitas, one can drink straight from the tap. Yes, it’ll taste kinda funny, but you can actually drink tap water. If you do that here in PI, you’ll likely get sick. Even though it’s chlorinated and all, there’s still a good chance a lot of of unhealthy stuff gets into your boday making it unsafe to drink the water. Why the longwinded intro? See the big blue 5 gallon container? Would you believe I used to carry that to our apartment on the fourth floor? Yup. No elevator. PLUS, I had to cross a busy street! Imagine Frogger and you’ll get the picture. Anyway, had to do it since clean water is a must if you need to drink. Good thing that since we moved, the water place is just across my house AND I don’t have to go to the fourth floor. 
OK, here’s a photo of "taho." A lot of you non-pinoys might not have been familiar with this drink. It’s made of tofu, ‘pearls’ and syrup. Usually, a guy passes by carrying two containers, one for the tofu, and one for the syrup and pearls (I think it’s tapioca.) Pinoys usually eat/drink this for breakfast or, a late morning snack. The whole mug only costs 5 pesos. (That’s a dime!) hehe Hey, can’t beat that right? Plus, delivered right in front of your door. You just have to wait for the guy yelling.."Ta-hooooo." hehe (and the guy usually just stops in front of my gate, because I’m a regular now.) haha
Here’s a pic of the front gate where he stops. 
(Dang. All this talk about food is making me hungry.)
Very cool — now just post a pic of pan-de-sal for us
