Back in 2004, this kind of safety standard
was the norm for our family.
Now we think nothing of seeing scenes like this every day:
And strict safety precautions are not limited to children in the Philippines...

What a fun collection of photos, Barbara! I see that all the time too but unfortunately have gotten "past" the stage of taking pictures. Sayang! Thanks for sharing these --and the quote by Helen Keller too, which is encouraging during this our current 'adventure' of surgery in Manila. --Becky
What I'd like to see are some statistics on accidents- injuries, fatalities etc. compared with the USA!
thanks, Becky! we're all praying here for Scott - today, and we'll continue! praying for you, too...♥
it's just not apples to apples Judy... here because we have all sorts of vehicles (motorized and people-powered) the traffic flows very slowly, and we honestly see very few accidents. people are used to (what to us are) non-traditional vehicles on the road, and everyone is pretty patient and accommodating with one another! :)
