Description

These girls were selling necklaces to cars in Manila, the Philippines. The girl at center, in the red shirt, grabbed my taxi and held on (trying to keep us from leaving) .I wouldn't buy anything from them, as it's discouraged here -- it encourages them to keep selling in the highways, which is unsafe.

The girl ran down the highway, following my car for almost a mile and catching up to me at the next traffic light. I gave her part of my lunch through the car window. (date: 2005-03-21)
