The Rice Terraces of Ifugao

I was here today and these really do live up to their billing as the 8th wonder of the world. The irrigation system is fascinating, since water basically starts at the top and goes to each terraced paddy on its way down. Amazing.

The other shot is one I took on my way to the terraces at a local market. I have eaten there local chilis and am prepared to pronounce them 'atomic.'
