Mad Max - its not just a film...

The vehicle you see here is Philippines most famous way of transportation. I immediately fell in love with it. It is called Jeepney and it is probably the closest you will ever get to a "Mad-Max" scenario in real life.
Rumors have it that these Jeepneys are a local variation of a more "normal" taxi that was introduced to the Philippines by the Americans after WW2. If this is true - The local people sure do exhibit amazing sense of imagination and creativity.
Think whatever you want - its the only place in the world you can see these amazing machines in action.
