Tara na sa Pilipinas!
Over the summer, I found myself in the heart of Concepcion, Tarlac — a small town in the Philippines. The province was tight and bustling with Pinoys in tsinelas* who handled the humidity and the sweltering heat as if it were nothing (unlike me, who was sweating immensely). Dogs and cats roamed around as tricycles rushed the condensed streets. Small stores mixed alongside houses in compounds that were normally home to rather large families.
