Ray's Metro Pics & Balikbayan Distortion

Your pics of the Metro reminded me of the
remarks of my Balikbayan sisters who went
home for my Grandma's funeral last March
after having stayed put in the U.S. for over a
decade.
They said that its impossible for them to drive
a car in Metro Manila as the streets and
thoroughfares appears to have SHRUNK from
the last time they were here.
I find that to be an interesting observation
as even their memories of Manila streets seem to
have been distorted with their prolonged exposure to
wide American freeways and 6-lane suburban roads.

So did you experience the same distortion when you
went back here?
