If I visit the Philippines, is it true I have to share my motorcycle with an entire family?

they call that kind of transportation here in philippines as "skylab" (heard it over from my Boss, and i don't know why they called it as it is called LOL)

Ate Conz is right and you can see and have a ride on that mostly on the countryside, Kuya Max.

Here's an actual picture of Skylab.
I think the motorcycle looks safer!
:)
When you fall off a motorcycle and plummet to earth...
it's a much shorter drop.

Hey Little Brother, no doubt the Filipino version of Skylab IS both safer and more affordable, lol.
:)

Alright, serious question now.
Is the normal habal habal found only in the provinces, or in the cities too?

(I'm talking about the motorcycles that just have a really long seat, and hold several passengers.)

Hahahaha!! Skylab!! hahhaha!! Very funny!! Speaking of transportation, I need to know from any of you who are in the Phils.. is that true Deaf people can not drive by law? Reason is that My new girlfriend who is from Marikina City near Manila, Phils who has a house she inherited (showed pics of her roomy and very nice minimalist home) and I am relocating there in the Phils. I am Deaf so what the answer to the law (my girlfriend does not know what the laws for driving for Deaf people) so I am asking any of you here..

Mostly in provinces kuya Max but there are cities here in PHL that are hilly and the only way is to ride a habal-habal (the ordinary one). The one in the picture is a modified (showing again the Filipinos innovative mind LOL) and is a no-no in the city, only in provinces.

Yeah yeah, we're resourceful, but our trusty Jeepneys have been around for a couple centuries. We should start making blueprints for more comfortable methods of transportation. -__-

Something with air conditioning. ^._.^
