As we were travelling this remote barrio in the Philippines we came across this children getting off school for lunch break. What was exciting was not the fact there we noticed the Internet Cafes sprinkled in this little town or some kids enjoying their handheld devices playing games but seeing people using this old transportation mode. Unsafe as it seems but you can see the thrill in the kids eyes. In this part of the world the reality is that economics and lifestyle has not evolved as fast as technology after 30 years.
