When you live way out in the sticks in the U.S., they don't deliver your mail to your house. Typically you have a mailbox just like this on a country road, in a group with all your neighbors' mailboxes. I wonder if you see this in other countries? Or do they have a different system for delivering mail to their rural customers?

What a comical look at rural mail delivery boxes. I like the way the one on the end is leaning up against its neighbor. Must get tiring waiting for the mail ...
That's fascinating. I really never thought about it, but this makes sense. And good question too. I'll have to interview friends who still have homes in small provincial towns. I do know that mailboxes in Manila are rare — there's always a maid to answer the mailman's doorbell after all.
Excellent photo.
In many mountain towns, they don't deliver mail to homes at all. You have to use a P.O. Box.
