Only in the Philippines: Goat Toploading

So you think toploading is cool! I have countless toploading stories.

But hey, look at this:

 

ONLY IN THE PHILIPINES: Goat-Toploading

 

Actually, I am having a hard time making a good caption.

Can’t believe it? Me too! But I saw this while in Zamboanga del Sur and Doc Wends of journeysandtravels would prove that.

 

That’s just one of the weird things you will see in our country, the Philippines.

 

Giving you some bonus photos:

The moving boxes…

 

Back view: Moving boxes

 

Oh noh, it’s a habal-habal pala.

 

Front view: Habal-habal pala

 

 

Okay, last one:

 

What to do when travel budget is depleted?

 

This is what I do when travel budget is depleted. Hahahaha (just kidding)

Have you notice something weird, crazy or funny thing during one of your trips? Please share it on my Facebook page: journeyingjamesFB or you talk about it on the comments section. I’m excited to know!

Better yet, if you are a blogger, make a blog post that is “Only in the Philippines.” A photo, a culture, a story, anything that is web-worthy that you can only see or experience in our country. Link this post and I will update this entry with your link too. Sounds great? The more “Only in the Philippines” posts, the better! Lemme know agad ha!

    Your last pic is funny, you look serious pa… I also notice an “Önly in the Philippines” scenario esp. in provinces where they stacked and full one tricycle to one destination and also in jeepneys… I experienced it in Iloilo.

    In my hometown in Cavite City, I notice that toploading is uncommon but when it comes to an “Önly in the Philippines” scenario, Cavite City is distinct in using mini-buses that have dubbed as “baby bus”

      haven’t seen those baby bus. baka sa far end na ng cavite?
      Philippines is a very interesting country to explore talaga.
      foreigners would go crazy with the thought of toploading, how much more when they see this. hahaha

    The photo showing the top loading goat is interesting. That goat should do some serious balancing up there. There are many things that are unique in our country. I hope I’ll be able to do an “Only in the Philippines” post too.
