    Wow that's great you still have those, here in Manila its very expensive to ride in horse and carts or what we call 'kalesa', even in baguio just take a picture with the horse and you must pay hahaha

    We still do have horses and carts in binondo area or along divisoria.

    Yep and we have steam trains here too. I think the Isle of Man inspired the Thomas the Tank Engine stories.

    The horse and cart rides arent cheap really but they are great for the tourists.

    Baguio. My wife talks about Baguio affectionatley.
