Rickshaw Rest Stop

DSC02855
This is a roadside restaurant for rickshaw drivers and others who are looking for the basics – bananas, bread, and a cigarette. (Others nearby offered slightly more filling options, including eggs and noodles.) Because of the food price increases, rice has become unaffordable for people at the lowest income levels – like rickshaw drivers. They might only eat bananas and biscuits after pedaling their rickshaw around all day in the sun.

    Looks like a scene straight out of Manila too.

    But wow, even rice? That’s the one thing that cannot / should not / should never be unaffordable here. It’s THE staple food — much, much more than bread. When push comes to shove, it is the only thing poor Filipinos eat.
