It seems that Manila is also a city where the old and the new coexist. The first food you eat is called Zongzi, which is described as follows: (粽子/zongzi/ rice dumpling/rice ball wrapped in bamboo leaves) You can eat different tastes of zongzi/ rice dumplings in different parts of Asia. Many tourist attractions in Asia sell zongzi, especially in Taiwan. There is a large variety of zongzi across Taiwan. Zongzi is basically glutinous rice with sweet or savoury fillings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. The fillings used for zongzi vary from region to region, but the rice used is almost always glutinous rice. Zongzi need to be steamed or boiled for several hours. Sweet and savoury pork zongzi are very different in taste. Pork zongzi appear most often on the Dragon Boat Festival. Many food factories will launch pork zongzi on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi may have originally been a seasonal food. Now zongzi are available year-round in most Taiwan major cities. The main components of salty zongzi are as follows: bamboo leaves, string, sticky rice, marinated pork, dried shiitake mushrooms, chestnuts, peanuts, dried squid, dried shrimp The tea you drink is called Bubble tea! Bubble tea also known as pearl milk tea, it is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s. It most commonly consists of tea accompanied by chewy tapioca balls ("boba" or "pearls"), but it can be made with other toppings as well. Bubble tea has many varieties and flavors. The best Bubble tea in the world is of course in its birthplace ~ Tainan: Director Ang Lee's hometown! After that, the snack you eat is steamed stuffed bun, which is usually steamed with flour mixed with water. There are many styles. The flavor you eat is called Steamed Creamy Custard Bun, which is popular in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. The original recipe originated from a restaurant in Hong Kong, including salted egg yolk, which has a thick and creamy aroma. Since not every restaurant knew its recipe in the early days, each restaurant's custard buns were made differently. Today, the custard filling in most places is made of cream, eggs, milk, sugar, flour , corn starch and custard powder. 看起來馬尼拉也是新舊並存的一個城市，你第一個吃的食物是叫做粽子，介紹如下： 在整個亞洲不同的地區可以吃到不同口味的粽子。 亞洲的許多旅遊景點都有賣粽子，特別是在台灣。 臺灣有各種各樣的粽子。 粽子基本上是糯米，用竹子或蘆葦葉包裹著甜味或鹹味餡料。 用於粽子的餡料因地區而異，但所用的米飯幾乎都是糯米。 粽子需要蒸幾個小時或煮沸。 甜味和鹹味豬肉粽子的味道非常不同。 肉粽最常出現在端午節。 許多食品工廠都會在端午節前夕推出豬肉粽。 粽子最初可能是一種季節性食物。 現在大多數台灣主要城市全年都有粽子。鹹粽子主要的組成如下：竹葉、細繩、 糯米飯、醃豬肉、乾香菇、栗子、花生、乾魷魚、蝦米、 再來，你喝的茶飲叫波霸奶茶！ 波霸奶茶也可稱珍珠奶茶，是一種茶的飲料，起源於1980年代初期的台灣。 它通常由茶和耐嚼的木薯澱粉組成，但也可以與其他食材一起製成。 波霸奶茶的品種和口味很多，世界上最好喝的波霸奶茶當然是在它的發源地～台南：導演李安的家鄉！ 之後，你吃的點心是包子，一般是用麵粉混和水後發酵過的麵團內餡蒸製而成，款式非常多。 你吃的口味稱為奶皇包，流行於廣東、港澳、臺灣等地。最初配方起源香港的酒樓， 包括有鹹蛋黃，吃起來有一股濃滑的奶香。 由於初期並不是每家餐館都知其配方，在各自模仿之下，每家餐館的奶黃包製法都有所不同， 如今多數地方的卡士達餡是以奶油、雞蛋、牛奶、糖、麵粉、玉米澱粉及卡士達粉等製作。
Just discovered your channel and actually like it. Appreciate your generosity and kindness, but don’t get yourself ripped off. Filipinos love to bargain, and they expect you to do so, which is why they initially ask for such a steep price. Learn how to get a fair and decent price, and don’t just accept their initial asking price. And when you ride the tricycle, always inquire about the fare before getting in and sitting down. If not satisfied with the quoted price, you can always walk away (and go to the next vendor, shop, driver, etc.) Will catch up and watch the rest of your vlogs…
Im watching this guy Because of 2 reasons: 1.He is passionate of all people around him and not scared because some people in binondo street/district are pickpockets and etc. but overall their nice 2. and lastly i want to go Binondo or everywhere in the manila but there is a Coronavirus..and the restriction as well.....we used to have a "Puwesto" or "Tindahan" in Divisoria 3yrs ago...but lately we shut it down because the pandemic back then is worst.....but this guy showed the routs and roadss.....its a nostalgic memory for me
I watched several of your videos recently and I'm really liking them. I had to subscribe. I think you ought to have more subscribers. Take note that the minimum fare for riding a tricycle is P10 for a single person and it also depends on how far the travel goes. It is better that you ask the driver how much, you could haggle with the price. I remember one time, that I asked a tricycle driver on how much for the ride and he said P200. I ended up riding a jeepney just for about 5 minutes and it only cost me P8 during that time. Minimum fare now is P9 for the first 4 kilometers. I guess the food you ate is not a dessert but the main course.
@@travisfein it's ok. I'm sure you made him happy. It was a special ride, other than that, you also gave the barber P500, so just consider it a tip to the driver. Vendors here and other people who want to earn more usually charge higher to foreigners, unless the price is fixed. If you want to buy something you can make "tawad", a local term which means to lower the price, especially in the public market. Try going to Divisoria and see how good you are in haggling. It is just a ride away from Binondo.
@@troevell I guess, if the driver said P50, Travis would also give him P500 and tell him to keep the change, but if he gave P100, I think that it would be a fair amount, that would include tip, considering that he was the lone passenger and it was a round trip.
Wow, I cannot believe you've got scammed riding a trycicle, I've been riding trycicles my whole life and never got scammed.. be careful some people are scammers to foreigners
Hi Travis machan great to see you having a marvelous time in Manila. What a vibrant city. Friendly bunch of people. ❤ from Sri Lanka. You are generous kind person, but we already know it 🙂👌safe travels Travis. Can't wait to see where you headed next from Manila.🙏
Lol, 500 pesos is to much! When you ride a tricycle again, You better ask first how much it cost for the fare 😅, anyway thank you for visiting and i hope you enjoy exploring our country🙏🇵🇭❤

I really hate it when these drivers ripped off the tourists, such a disgrace & disgusting. Unfortunately, even me as a Filipino living abroad & come to visit becomes a victim. Have a safe travels man & enjoy!🤙🏽🙏🏼🇵🇭
Hey Travis! New subscriber here and it's my 1st time watching some of your videos. It's great that you're a very generous person, but don't let people take advantage of you in the Philippines. I'd say always ask for your change back and check on prices first before buying anything or paying for any service. Looking at your Philippine videos so far, you haven't really been to any of the great tourist attractions. I'd say use your money to visit places like Palawan. Ask the locals as to which province you visit. Be extra careful as well of people around you so that you're not taken advantage of.
I admire you for trying “exotic foods” without any hesitation. I believe that the 1st food you tried was wrapped in banana leaves. You are definitely fun to watch.
Love the way you spoke sinhalese in . 🇱🇰 machan.. Sthuthi... Api kamu... You are such a kind and friendly man. Lots of love from 🇱🇰 . Please come again to sri lanka and explore the spiritual power of the mind.
the 500 php for a tricycle was too much, when you were saying "its my first time" that's when the driver thought he could score big well normally he cant do it with the locals, the fair in Philippines is in the range of 10 php to 200 php, lastly ask some locals to ask how much is the fair, don't be afraid to ask for information and stay safe sir

Hi Travis, thanks for travelling around the Philippines. It helps us Filipinos around the world experience virtual travelling especially when you get to visit our home towns. Stay as humble and polite as you are. Enjoy your stay in the Philippines and be safe x
Yes you got to be cautious every country you go there's No perfect situation specially crowded area, it's Ok to be close & friendly but not too much some will take advantage on that also your backpack place it in front of you if you're going to crowded & tight places, avoid too much confident.. well ok have a Fun and exciting travel
I agree. You were probably charged too much. He kind of gave you a tour so probably could have changed 250 - 300 pesos max. But yea 500 is too much. Enjoy Manila. I am super envious. I can’t go home until next year.
Hey Travis...pls don't get disappointed by what that tricycle driver did to you..still there's a lot of Filipinos that won't take advantage of you.Welcome to the Philippines! Have a safe journey in exploring our country.
Travis thank you love your videos. I used to live in Manila in 46 years ago, it change a lot. I loved it you’re so friendly, that’s why people are so happy and friendly to you. Keep safe and enjoy your journey in the Philippines. ❤️
Love your videos Travis, very entertaining and touching at times. Just be careful of your video camera, watch out where you put it, don't let your guard down. We don't want any delay in your uploads. Cheers!

Your a real person video! Never seen one like u! You should try the eat all you can in Sofitel…if you curious about different food in Philippines….watching from France;)
500 is to much bro for a tricycle ride. Don’t let them scammed you because they do it again to other foreigners. If the people is honest you can give them 500. But if the person is like that its not deserving bro. But ur a good guy thats why you give him what he ask for. But next time don’t let them scammed you. Love lots from the 🇵🇭
I love how you researched about the country (the town) before actually coming here. 'Cause I have lived in Manila since birth and I didn't even know some of the info's that you just shared. 👏
I think I'd die within a few days in the Philippines 😄 . I'm diabetic and all the food seems to be filled with sugar . I love your videos. The Philippines looks beautiful. A dream country to visit.
Latecomer here, but you sure got me hooked to your adventures, Travis Fein! And I see that you have a video trying balut that I still have to watch! Dang! Now, that's really being adventurous bro, or mate, as you say Down Under, eh? Anyway, wherever your adventures take you, I wish you safe travels and lots of positive experiences! Keep on rocking man! 🤙
Hello im also a filipino i just wanted to say that your vlogs are really awesome!! but remember that 500 pesos is big in the philippines you can buy tons and tons of if! i was so shock to see that he wants to charged you 500 pesos for a tricycle ride, 100 is the maximun charge they gave you if you ride their tricycle and if they charge you 150 and above then thats overpriced! Also always wear your facemask because facemask is still a need in the phillippines
Before you ride to any passenger transport, ask first to the people around the corner,, so when the time you get tricycle or any transportation you know alrdy..We really like you Travis❤ you have a lot of energy to walk around, and at the same time, good exercise too..Just be very careful Sir Travis..❤we are sorry though..We filipinos, we respect all the foreigner coming to our country, even we don't easily catch up or understand english but we are trying to speak and answer them, the best that we can..Welcome and Mabuhay. Salamat Sir Travis❤❤✌
That tricycle driver in China Town is a flipping ripoff he cost this vlogger for 500 pesos from China town to Binondo can you imagine? Terrible tricycle driver that’s so embarrassing 😳
Hi Travis. New subscriber here im Filipino from Dubai. I enjoyed watching your videos.Fells like im in my home country again. Your content was so interesting and your vids are superb with no drama or commercial effects like others. More travels and looking forward for your more videos. And I'm sorry for this tricycle driver who scammed you. Well everywhere there is like that. Just keep safe and enjoy all the time. 👍🙏🤘
You are so fun to watch. I don't know exactly why but I'm hooked. I've seen so many do this but I just click off. But your videos, I can't stop watching. 💖💖💖
I recommend you to visit Jomalig Island in Quezon Province, Dumaguete sandbar, Kalanggaman Island, White Island Camiguin, Boracay, Siargao, and Balabac Islands, Puerto Princesa, Coron, El Nido in Palawan (and so much more) 💞🥰
This is rice dumpling aka 'bachang' as what we call it here in Singapore. It is glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. In chinese cities, there is a festival called "Dragon Boat Festival" or "Rice Dumpling Festival" (5th day, 5th lunar month) where chinese eat these dumplings to celebrate
Its not a scam, you were charge 500 pesos since you like rented the tricycle in private. The route you made is not actually the route of the tricycle and might result him to have a ticket from an enforcer that would actually cost 1500 pesos. You can actually ride a cab next time but nothing beats the calesa or this tricycle, we called kuliglig.
As a foreigner in The Phillipines, i also get scammed by tricycle drivers. once they told me to pay 200 pesos for a 5 minute drive in boracay. they usually target foreigners cause they think they are rich. and also bring a filipino with you to avoid the scam.
Whoa! Talk about off the beaten path. You get down to the nitty gritty. You are certainly hardcore. In spite of the heat, humidity, rain, dirt, grime, and what not, you still manage to get your viewers engaged. You are very respectful of the locals and do not seem to have one stiff upper lip about you, mate. Suggestion: work out the price before you hop on local transportation. That tricycle driver just stiffed you by charging PHP500 (?). As in many countries, you got both the good and the bad eggs.
machang glutinous rice with mushroom, tofu, chestnuts..wrapped in lotus leaves...that is a vegetarian machang..the meat machang is made of chicken pork chestnut glutinous rice ,mushroom, chinese sausage and egg..we also dip it in ketchup.. in thailand and in hongkong they call it LO MAN CAI..
Your videos are raw…..you are down to earth person and this is better than a Jackie Chan movie in Hongkong. You forgot to negotiate for the tricycle fare before boarding.
Trav Great content and information re Chinatown was interesting. Your zest to try foods and enjoy the streets is awesome. Like your Pa ( dad) you have a cast iron stomach. Enjoy ❤️👍
Careful, there are many good and friendly people but there are some bad apples that will rip you off. It's good to have a map and calculate travel distances, routes.
500 pesos is a bit too much mate...although you are helping a family with that much money...thank you! The siopao with meat on it is fulfilling- you should try it!
@15:22 TO be fair with the driver, when Travis asked, he said "you". He don't know how much to ask and wanted Travis to decide. When asked again, he just blurted out 500 to see where it will go. 😂
But 500 pesos is too much for a tricycle ride. even for a taxi ride, it is too much. It should be only 100 pesos, the maximum. When the driver said "you", Travis didnt know. The driver must understand that he is just new in Manila. He ahould not take advantage by saying 500.
Jeez, I teach Aral. Pan. but I didn't know Binondo church was built to convert Chinese immigrants into Christianity. Thanks for that piece of info. Travis. You're the best. ❤❤❤
Before riding any tricycle,ask how much first,or you can also bargain,some tricycle drivers take advantage of tourist,extra careful of what you eat too,enjoy your adventure & stay safe….pls .visit our hometown Bataan,watching you from Orlando ,Florida
Before you take any tricycle in Manila or any part of the county negotiate first for the fare. even locals they are charging to much. so negotiate reasonable price.
Also Hope you can go to Baguio, Launion, and Vigan north of the Philippines. The way you interact to people they will interact back Amazing . You are so friendly no doubt.enjoy and have fun.

看起來馬尼拉也是新舊並存的一個城市，你第一個吃的食物是叫做粽子，介紹如下：
在整個亞洲不同的地區可以吃到不同口味的粽子。
亞洲的許多旅遊景點都有賣粽子，特別是在台灣。
臺灣有各種各樣的粽子。
粽子基本上是糯米，用竹子或蘆葦葉包裹著甜味或鹹味餡料。
用於粽子的餡料因地區而異，但所用的米飯幾乎都是糯米。
粽子需要蒸幾個小時或煮沸。
甜味和鹹味豬肉粽子的味道非常不同。
肉粽最常出現在端午節。
許多食品工廠都會在端午節前夕推出豬肉粽。
粽子最初可能是一種季節性食物。
現在大多數台灣主要城市全年都有粽子。鹹粽子主要的組成如下：竹葉、細繩、 糯米飯、醃豬肉、乾香菇、栗子、花生、乾魷魚、蝦米、
再來，你喝的茶飲叫波霸奶茶！
波霸奶茶也可稱珍珠奶茶，是一種茶的飲料，起源於1980年代初期的台灣。
它通常由茶和耐嚼的木薯澱粉組成，但也可以與其他食材一起製成。
波霸奶茶的品種和口味很多，世界上最好喝的波霸奶茶當然是在它的發源地～台南：導演李安的家鄉！
之後，你吃的點心是包子，一般是用麵粉混和水後發酵過的麵團內餡蒸製而成，款式非常多。
你吃的口味稱為奶皇包，流行於廣東、港澳、臺灣等地。最初配方起源香港的酒樓，
包括有鹹蛋黃，吃起來有一股濃滑的奶香。 由於初期並不是每家餐館都知其配方，在各自模仿之下，每家餐館的奶黃包製法都有所不同，
如今多數地方的卡士達餡是以奶油、雞蛋、牛奶、糖、麵粉、玉米澱粉及卡士達粉等製作。

Based on my currency converter, 500 pesos is only $9.27 (US), less than ten dollars for 45 mins ride. For me, it is cheap.

Sad to say, but the building you saw 13:10 , the Post Office Building was recently damaged by fire. All of the papers and mails are burned to ashes😢😢

Your a real person video! Never seen one like u! You should try the eat all you can in Sofitel…if you curious about different food in Philippines….watching from France;)
ok support this guy's blogs , he always says keep the change and give service people tips.
❤️
500 is to much bro for a tricycle ride. Don’t let them scammed you because they do it again to other foreigners. If the people is honest you can give them 500. But if the person is like that its not deserving bro. But ur a good guy thats why you give him what he ask for. But next time don’t let them scammed you. Love lots from the 🇵🇭
I love how you researched about the country (the town) before actually coming here. 'Cause I have lived in Manila since birth and I didn't even know some of the info's that you just shared. 👏
I love your vlogs!! Very enthusiastic! Keep it up!! I hope you hit 100k subscribers soon!!
I think I'd die within a few days in the Philippines 😄 . I'm diabetic and all the food seems to be filled with sugar . I love your videos. The Philippines looks beautiful. A dream country to visit.
Not everything. You can ask the vendor if what food is not sweet.
It's not sweet it's savory the sauce is sweet just avoid that
Not all food
You are so kind to that tricycle driver. Not everybody is like him. God bless you.
Your videos are so entertaining. You deserve a hundred thousand Subscribers from the Philippines. Love ❤️ your channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey you Travis im beginning to love your videos... Im so entertained... Thank you
Latecomer here, but you sure got me hooked to your adventures, Travis Fein! And I see that you have a video trying balut that I still have to watch! Dang! Now, that's really being adventurous bro, or mate, as you say Down Under, eh? Anyway, wherever your adventures take you, I wish you safe travels and lots of positive experiences! Keep on rocking man! 🤙
Hello im also a filipino i just wanted to say that your vlogs are really awesome!! but remember that 500 pesos is big in the philippines you can buy tons and tons of if! i was so shock to see that he wants to charged you 500 pesos for a tricycle ride, 100 is the maximun charge they gave you if you ride their tricycle and if they charge you 150 and above then thats overpriced! Also always wear your facemask because facemask is still a need in the phillippines
Hope you enjoy your stay here in our country and youre also welcome to comeback!! staysafe always!!
I do agree. But he was taken on a short tour etc. I think the driver could have gotten away with 250 inc tip but 500 is way too much.
500 is not big to be honest but he got scammed
Before you ride to any passenger transport, ask first to the people around the corner,, so when the time you get tricycle or any transportation you know alrdy..We really like you Travis❤ you have a lot of energy to walk around, and at the same time, good exercise too..Just be very careful Sir Travis..❤we are sorry though..We filipinos, we respect all the foreigner coming to our country, even we don't easily catch up or understand english but we are trying to speak and answer them, the best that we can..Welcome and Mabuhay.
Salamat Sir Travis❤❤✌
It's machang. It's rice wrapped and steamed in lotus leaf.
Quite enjoyable! The milk tea and the snacks got the breadbasket in knots mate ! Nice!
You makes me hungry every time i watched you video’s. But anyways i really appreciate i enjoy every single video you posted. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice vlog Travis 🇵🇭
That tricycle driver in China Town is a flipping ripoff he cost this vlogger for 500 pesos from China town to Binondo can you imagine? Terrible tricycle driver that’s so embarrassing 😳
😂 yeah it’s crazy
@@travisfein Hi Travis, I know he’s gonna do that lol.. Shame on him
Hi Travis. New subscriber here im Filipino from Dubai. I enjoyed watching your videos.Fells like im in my home country again.
Your content was so interesting and your vids are superb with no drama or commercial effects like others. More travels and looking forward for your more videos. And I'm sorry for this tricycle driver who scammed you. Well everywhere there is like that. Just keep safe and enjoy all the time. 👍🙏🤘
The driver charged you a big amount lol. You gave him anyway props to you po.
You are so fun to watch. I don't know exactly why but I'm hooked. I've seen so many do this but I just click off. But your videos, I can't stop watching. 💖💖💖
im so much enjoyed watching your videos. i think all of your vids I already watched. 🎉❤
I recommend you to visit Jomalig Island in Quezon Province, Dumaguete sandbar, Kalanggaman Island, White Island Camiguin, Boracay, Siargao,
and Balabac Islands, Puerto Princesa, Coron, El Nido in Palawan (and so much more) 💞🥰
So much to see, not enough time!!
@@travisfein Aww that's fine! Enjoy your time here in the Philippines 🇵🇭💞 and when you come back here you can explore those places ehehehe
From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
This is rice dumpling aka 'bachang' as what we call it here in Singapore. It is glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. In chinese cities, there is a festival called "Dragon Boat Festival" or "Rice Dumpling Festival" (5th day, 5th lunar month) where chinese eat these dumplings to celebrate
Its not a scam, you were charge 500 pesos since you like rented the tricycle in private. The route you made is not actually the route of the tricycle and might result him to have a ticket from an enforcer that would actually cost 1500 pesos. You can actually ride a cab next time but nothing beats the calesa or this tricycle, we called kuliglig.
This is the real definition of travel.
Beautiful good luck my friend ❤️👍 from Sri Lanka🇱🇰☺️
Thank you Travis for visiting Philippines and keep safe .
I love watching you man! I want to see more videos of you here in the Philippines. Just take care in you know.
5:01 the Manong in the corner snooping on you 😂😂
As a foreigner in The Phillipines, i also get scammed by tricycle drivers. once they told me to pay 200 pesos for a 5 minute drive in boracay. they usually target foreigners cause they think they are rich. and also bring a filipino with you to avoid the scam.
Stay Safe Travis ..
❤ from 🇱🇰
Cov1d: Im very dangerous
Also travis exploring the town without wearing a face mask
Whoa! Talk about off the beaten path. You get down to the nitty gritty. You are certainly hardcore. In spite of the heat, humidity, rain, dirt, grime, and what not, you still manage to get your viewers engaged. You are very respectful of the locals and do not seem to have one stiff upper lip about you, mate. Suggestion: work out the price before you hop on local transportation. That tricycle driver just stiffed you by charging PHP500 (?). As in many countries, you got both the good and the bad eggs.
machang glutinous rice with mushroom, tofu, chestnuts..wrapped in lotus leaves...that is a vegetarian machang..the meat machang is made of chicken pork chestnut glutinous rice ,mushroom, chinese sausage and egg..we also dip it in ketchup.. in thailand and in hongkong they call it LO MAN CAI..
Hi Travis…. Be more careful…. You’re so cool…. Your videos are beautifully informative … well done…be safe wherever you go…. God bless you!!!
Your videos are raw…..you are down to earth person and this is better than a Jackie Chan movie in Hongkong. You forgot to negotiate for the tricycle fare before boarding.
Thank you for sharing my friend..i hope you enjoyed our country 🙏🇵🇭
Trav
Great content and information re Chinatown was interesting.
Your zest to try foods and enjoy the streets is awesome. Like your Pa ( dad) you have a cast iron stomach.
Enjoy ❤️👍
Be careful to strangers guy like that much better you rent a taxi
Careful, there are many good and friendly people but there are some bad apples that will rip you off. It's good to have a map and calculate travel distances, routes.
Travis, your energy is off the charts.
More Fun in the Philippines.Watching from Spain with LOVE....God Bless...
500 pesos is a bit too much mate...although you are helping a family with that much money...thank you! The siopao with meat on it is fulfilling- you should try it!
Hi machan 🇱🇰
Honestly, you're too brave. You should learn to bargain and that's Filipino style. Hahaha.
Now, I subscribed!!!
@15:22 TO be fair with the driver, when Travis asked, he said "you". He don't know how much to ask and wanted Travis to decide. When asked again, he just blurted out 500 to see where it will go. 😂
But 500 pesos is too much for a tricycle ride. even for a taxi ride, it is too much. It should be only 100 pesos, the maximum. When the driver said "you", Travis didnt know. The driver must understand that he is just new in Manila. He ahould not take advantage by saying 500.
Just to let you know ,Before you ride trike or horse driven carriage ask them first how much ,also trike usually charge only max of 50 pesos the most
Enjoying your vlogs trav. Stay safe and thank you 👍
The thing in the leaf is usually sticky rice with some special fermented eggs and meat. Asians eat it especially during dragon festival.
@ 13:40 that bridge and that archway is quite significant historically, just google it bruh .....
I am sorry you got scammed! Only in Manila! Usually that won't happen outside Manila.
Tip: Negotiate/Ask for the price first. :)
Jeez, I teach Aral. Pan. but I didn't know Binondo church was built to convert Chinese immigrants into Christianity. Thanks for that piece of info. Travis. You're the best. ❤❤❤
Before riding any tricycle,ask how much first,or you can also bargain,some tricycle drivers take advantage of tourist,extra careful of what you eat too,enjoy your adventure & stay safe….pls .visit our hometown Bataan,watching you from Orlando ,Florida
Before you take any tricycle in Manila or any part of the county negotiate first for the fare. even locals they are charging to much. so negotiate reasonable price.
wow ! I feel like travelling in the philippines as well. Thank you Travis.
Come to Cebu
Also Hope you can go to Baguio, Launion, and Vigan north of the Philippines. The way you interact to people they will interact back Amazing . You are so friendly no doubt.enjoy and have fun.
Like the saying let's the buyer be aware. Well those in the area take advantage of not only tourists but their own kind too. Survival!!!
Im a new subscriber. I subscribed just past midnight and i like the vlogs of Travis. Very professional and very entertaining like watching a movie. Travis looks like the young John Travolta. Hope he doesnt mind.
Awesome watching you. Always be careful when going to a crowd.
