This was a Sunday night in cebu, and it was bloody hot, perhaps still close to 30 degrees at this point. You can see the fans trying to cool the place.

This is basically open air with just the roof covered in case it rains.  Along the outside are vendors.  They have raw beef, pork, and chicken sitting in front of there stalls. You choose what you want and they will barbecue it for you and serve it with rice. There is a good chance that you can eat a meal for less than $2 here.

Obviously having meat sitting out in 30 degree weather gives me cause for concern, but the hope is that is has not been sitting too long and the cooking of it would kill any bacteria left behind. Either way, people seemed to be enjoying themselves.  The place was packed and, as you can see, there were a lot of families with kids.

This was a good contrast too, these kids look well looked after, but the 20 minute walk back to the hotel led to street kids begging for money and in some cases even grabbing at your pockets.

Parts of Cebu were somewhat depressing, but there was for sure a contrast in certain places that shows that at least some families are doing better and holding there own.
