PhotoHunt - Narrow

I know, this is something that I should not be proud of. Well I'm not but this is the reality. These are just the closest things I could get pictures of related to this week’s theme which is narrow.

Basically, our roads in Sampaloc, Manila are narrow.
What make them narrower are the following:

  1. Sidewalk vendors. As I have said in my related post: Can you blame them? Why rent a stall when you can have a selling space for free?
  2. Illegal Parking – people here love to park their cars on the streets. Ergo, the 2-way streets are reduced to one way, because people are walking on them and they let their working and trash cars lie on both sides of the street. Just imagine the traffic. Only tricycles and bikes could pass through.
  3. Sidewalks are usually made as house extensions or mini gardens. I bet you can't even see the sidewalks anymore!
