Perry rides a Jeepney!

In the Philippines, the most common way to get around is by Jeepney.  On my first trip to the PI, I toured a jeepney factory.  Basically, after WWII they Filipinos needed a way to get public transportation re-established and they had these jeeps left around from the US, so they re-purposed them into public transport. A jeepney ride is super cheap...8 pesos from here for the mall. (That is less than a quarter.)

As are many tourists #1 goal when coming to Manila is to ride a jeepney, so was Perry's.  Here he is having the time of his life. :)

Perry makes a new friend from Japan.
