The Philippines have the coolest jeepneys! :) I always wanted to get one of the old jeeps, they never wear out! This is a nice place and I really like how they decorate with the artwork, displaying local artists. I have to say that I have bought a couple of pieces that way, although on the lower end of the price scale.
Your food reminds me of the typical American breakfast that you can get at any place that serves the first meal of the day. Everyone has it, but, puts their own spin on it.
The weather is typical for this time of year, yes? The sunny days are coming again! Thanks for the #alwaysaflower It truly colors our world!
Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see so many participating every week. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for them. Life is interesting, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. I hope the week has found you healthy and happy, as we all look to prosper in our way of life.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

I honestly think that the jeepneys were cooler before and more colorful than they are now.
If I am right, it was actually started by Jack's Rice and the rest of the restaurant owners followed suit. Here is a story about Jack's Rice https://unlimitedgrubgrabs.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/episode-20-memories-of-baguio-part-2-the-legend-of-jacks-rice/.
Jack Dulnuan, owner of Jack's Restaurant, had the idea to put a little bit of everything in one plate instead of having everything on the table that he will not be eating anyway.
