Water transport

Not transportation on water but transportation to carry water. In And not a drop to drink, I posted a photo of the water filtering station where we buy our drinking water. We don't really have to go there ourselves—the shop delivers using this motorcycle and custom side car.

  4. Initially, I thought this was a mini platform for transporting people. Water is better, though. Great picture and interesting information.

  6. This to me is extrmemly odd, because we just don't have to transport water to our homes and business. Very interesting and No I wouldn't have guessed what this for.

  9. Very good! It's an efficient delivery method. The only thing I can think of more efficient, which wouldn't be practical for your water, is the bicycle courier we sometimes see in the big cities.

  21. That is a really cool photo! I wouldn't ever have imagined its use though. I remember when I was a kid my dad had a sidecar on his motorbike (I think I went in it once or twice - this was more than 30 years ago though so my memory is hazy!). It was a bit more enclosed than this one!

  22. How cool is that? Is it expensive to buy filtered water?

    I just use Brita filter to "clean" my tap water.

  23. Ming:
    Not very expensive. It costs PhP100 (about US$2) for 15 gallons. I'm thinking of getting a Brita too but I have to do some computations first. Since it's imported, it might turn out to be more expensive than just buying filtered water.
