In the meantime, I'm living vicariously on people's travel vlogs on the Philippines. If you've been thinking about visiting the Philippines, I highly recommend doing it. People are amazing, food are amazing, lots of places to see and explore, and wonderful experiences to cherish. Plus, knowing English is already a great start!

    I was in the Philippine's in the 70's, back then Manila was much less crowded and truly beautiful. It was interesting to watch them build a new ski scraper, they used bamboo scaffolding. Baguio is nice to visit much cooler in the mountains, however was scary to travel there back then. We were about halfway up the mountain when we had to go around a broken down army truck. As we passed it became obvious what happened it was full of bullet holes. Also back then the most common working class breakfast was fish heads and rice wrapped up in a banana leaf. Also, if we at meat that wasn't fish, pork or chicken it likely barked before it was butchered.

      Yes most likely, they were also dealing with Muslim insurgents. I was a K-9 handler, at Clark
      USAFB, and it wasn't uncommon to here gun fights off base at night. They would probe on base but they weren't looking for a fight. If we contacted them you fired a slap flare and got the hell out of there. We were only armed with a 38 cal revolver, a fire team would respond and check the area. Of course the bad guys would be long gone.

      Manila has never been beautiful......homeless people sleeping on the streets, kids beggin because they are hungry, foreign drivers pulled over just because they are foreign and the local corrupt cops pull them over to take bribes, shit in the streets, have a look at Manila Zoo..it is a example of just HOW beautiful Manila is...really rotten. It is a total fuck hole.

      That may be true today, however in the 1970's it was a great city to visit. Very clean and the people were friendly. You must remember the population has tripled since the 70's. The downside was martial law with strict rules. You learned if you heard a cop yelling hinto hinto it was time to hit the ground because they fired on anyone running from the police and they were poor shots.

    The Philippines is amazing. My favorite holiday destination. Awesome people and the food, masarap. But I must admit, I have not dared to eat balut, yes I know shame on me. I am lucky to have a couple of good Pinoy friends. So I am very lucky to see the Philippines like not many foreigners have seen it. As a rural Dutch guy, it always takes a couple of days to adjust. Especially after landing at the airport and get into the hot hectic town of Manila. Our biggest town has 820.000 inhabitants :) Hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines as much as I have!!

    Just watching this now and a few of your vlogs in 2022. Really brought me back in time and felt like I was rediscovering the Philippines again even if only vicariously. Used to go back to the Philippines every year in December and January to visit my parents, dive in Batangas, and explore the country. COVID changed all that back in 2020. I made it back to Canada just a couple of months before COVID became a worldwide phenomenon. Dying to get back but don't know when. Thank you for your beautifully done videos. Excellent work Gareth!... by the way kudos to Simon who did a good job touring you around.

      No he is too much on his trip to become a complete Casey Neistat clone, so he doesnt have time for this anymore. Did you once saw him on some collabs the last time. All the others, like Daniel Marsh, Kyle Jennerman, Finn Snow, and all the others travel together, but Wil will at best talk to Daniel and the Heusaff family.
