Ingredients

• Thick tortillas (To serve as pizza crust) 
• Pizza sauce  
• Grated Cheese 
• Ground Pork 
• Any other toppings you want. 

NOTE: Go crazy on your grated cheese, ground pork and pizza sauce. You can absolutely customize your pizza and add as much or as little of these ingredients as you want.

Procedure

1: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Celcius.

2: Get your flour tortillas. I would prefer them to be as thick as possible. 

3: Put as much / as little pizza sauce over the flour tortilla. 

4: Put some cheese over the pizza-sauce topped flour tortilla. Again, put as much or as little cheese you want. 

5: Fry your ground pork. While frying (use a saucepan if available), break the pork up into pieces. Once the pork is cooked and the pieces are very small, put it over the cheese and the pizza sauce. 

6: Once you put your ground pork, put any other topping you want. I put in ham in mine. 

7: Put it in your oven. Let it cook for about five to eight minutes. 

Enjoy!

TRANSPORTATION in Sweden and in the Philippines

So the day before yesterday (25 September '13) was our two months in Stockholm! What better way to celebrate our second month in this wonderful country by comparing it with my previous country, right?

NOTE: These thoughts come from a thirteen year old boy that has no intention of harming, violating or offending anyone reading this. He is just expressing his honest opinions.

The first thing I'll compare about is the Transportation. Since the Philippines is in Asia and is quite a melting pot of traditions handed-down by other Asian countries and that Sweden is more of a Northern-European country influenced by more Nordic countries, so don't question me if you think that differences are a lot, let alone in the transportation section.

So in the Philippines, tricycles are perfect in short distances. You might find tons of them in the residential areas. Tricycles are basically just motorcycles with an added sidecar which is used for the passengers. These are ridiculously cheap (no normal fare goes up to PHP 70/ SEK 10), although they may charge extra for longer distances.

In my two-month experience in Stockholm, I have not discovered a mode of transport that is good for short distances. The Stockholms Tunnelbana (the Stockholm Metro/Subway), could be good, but I think that the price is to steep. I am not sure with the prices, but in the Philippines, the metro costs PHP 25-40 (SEK 4-6), which is about five-six times cheaper than the metro in Stockholm.

Taxis in the Philippines are smaller than the ones in Sweden. Also, the fares are really cheap, with the normal flagdown fare being PHP 40-50 (SEK 6-8). If you wish to spend a hundred Swedish crowns on a Philippine taxi, prepare for a long journey. The only crazy thing in the Philippines is the traffic.

Taxis in Stockholm just blows my mind. When my family occassionaly rides on a taxi, I think the flagdown fare is SEK 60, and rises by one crown per four-six seconds. I do not know why this is... By the way, if you're going to take a taxi in Stockholm, make sure you check that yellow sticker on a window. That symbolizes a regular 10 minute fare. They are allowed to rip you off just as long as you see the fare.

So if you really want to see the breath-taking sights of Stockholm and not willing to walk that much, save your butt off. Literally.
