Nasty things I saw while on a business trip

Part of my job is going to places in Manila to conduct meetings and transactions. And along the way, we sometimes see some not so desirable views on the road. Traffics are just the beginning, and unlucky for us if we witness an accident. One time, we saw dirt being sprayed on the sidewalk after a motorcycle crashed. The owner survived. Not everyone is lucky. One time we saw a squad of police crowding over a scene on the sidewalk. I won't go over the details and you probably know what it is. Overall, business trips are draining, but incredibly satisfying, since it allowed us to go out in the sunshine. At least we are not confined in the office.

A remind to be grateful for getting back home safe every night.

Agree, as in the case of a bus accident I saw. I'm suddenly on a mood for a morning meeting. That was nothing compared to what happened there.

Yes, at least, but traffic has its downside I understand.

I hate traffic. In Asia, it could stretch for miles and takes hours to clear.

After seeing people in and out of social media, I agree.
