Public Phone

Now that satellite communications is so advanced and mobile phone technology has become such a strategic R&D area in most developed countries, it's no surprise then we're seeing fewer public phones around - let alone the ones that require you to dong lui (read: insert coins) every two minutes or so. Filipino maids - God bless them - no longer have the excuse to 'run errands' when in fact all they do is hog pay stations and gab on for hours at length.
