Welcome back Dany. ❤ make the most of your stay. Enjoy the sights and sound and the people most especially. Wish i could meet you and tour you around my place.
MegaMall is currently undergoing renovation and SM hired the company which designed the Jewel in Singapore airport. In the near future, this mall would look very modern. 😊
Wow....that was a four hour holly molly video clip very refreshing to reminisce those places I used to be many years ago in Manila. I guess you really had a good time walking around in those areas you've been. Good luck to more of your travel.
1:03:55 Haircuts in PH Provinces are around $1 usd, Makati $9 usd, BGC $20 usd, San Francisco (where I’m from) $60 usd 😢 definitely less expensive anywhere in the Philippines
There is a nice mall in that area called “The Podium”. Also try to visit Eastwood City, Filinvest Corporate City, McKinley Hills, Rockwell Makati. These are small CBDs with similar vibe like BGC
Place needs more universities and medical facilities. Not Malls. Also all those malls all Chinese owned, so the profits are just leaving the country and people. It’s actually sad.
@@Mikeycambovideos Chinese descent but Filipinos. Chinese or foreigners cannot own real estate properties in the Philippines. In any business except for a few exemptions, foreigners can only own 40 percent. All these malls are 100 percent Filipino owned. There are also many universities. Those skyscrapers you've seen are built by Filipinos because foreign companies aren't allowed to have construction companies in the Philippines until just recently. Are you addict? 😊
@@Mikeycambovideos what are you talking about? Hahaha! For your information all taxes from big condos and Big Malls are directly going to the Philippines govt that is why Philippines can afford to build many many Big Infra projects all over Metro Manila and there all on going construction now including the ambitious multi USBillion Dollar Hi Speed Subway Train , for your info Those Big modern Malls & High rise condo buildings are owned by Filipino & the so called Chinese- Filipino but they are Filipino citizens because they are born and live here in the Philippines so they are Filipino in whole of them and Those Big Malls are in The Philippines ok? You are ignorant.
@@Mikeycambovideos For your information there have many many World class hospitals & Universities all over Manila such as UP, University of Sto Tomas, Centro Escolar University, University of the East etc and the World Class Hospitals such as St Lukes, Makati Medical Center, PGH, Manila Doctors Hospitals etc..Philippines have it all.
Some vloggers go to the Phillipines go to slum areas coz that depend on thier budgets, spends thier stay in most slums and old manila complain about it. If they want comfortable vacation then must go to convenient and nice place to stay. Theres a lot of areas too.
I am glad you liked my hood. Condos everywhere and on weekends the streets is closed from Julia Vargas to Edsa. The residents can bike and walk with no cars passing.
BGC is a private area in Taguig City. They have their own security and traffic marshals. McKinley hill area is another condo residences area with the Venice Grand Mall as its flagship.
Although this vlog is pretty extensive, Dany missed the other beautiful districts like Rockwell, Eastwood city, Aseana city, Filinvest city, Araneta city, Roxas Blvd Dolomite Beach. 😊
The jeepneys are being phased out with new modern hybrids and electric ones. They just passed that law which is unfortunate. I guess it’s the future which is environmentally friendly and safe.
Actually@@stevem437Manila is pretty diverse what do u mean by 95percent??? If ur talking about slums u can guest, most of that are near tondo, but you must know that there are more upscale business cities in manila including: Ortigas, Makati and BGC...... So let's say it's 50/50... the word "poor" can be subjective........ And as u know manila is composed of dozens of big cities from local to super modern to Historical............... So as I say all is DIVERSE....... And one thing; u must visit manila for ur own so you can see the true rich hospitality of almost all Filipinos..........don't be ignorant..plsss
@@GLEZERO-kz8ye No, I think you’re the one who needs to check their ignorance. Manila is literally the densest city in the world. Four of the world’s top 10 densest cities are located in Metro Manila. This is due to the massive amounts of poverty and people living on top of one another. These smaller pockets within the city (I live in BGC) are a SMALL example of the population here. Are you Filipino? Have you ever left the country? The poverty here is shocking. Tons of people living in homes that do not even close and protect from the elements. This is not normal in the vast majority of the rest of the world. Do I live in a nice area? Sure. But all I need to do is walk to the border of BGC to see kids with no shoes, who aren’t in school, begging for money. Focusing on only the nice parts of Manila is an absolute slap in the face to those people. It paints a terribly skewed picture. There is a reason most Filipinos leave this country as soon as they are able.
A lot of bad comment from these haters. They can hate the Metropolitan Manila to the hospitals and services and all but they keep on coming back. Haters can skip Manila, all for us Filipino Americans.
@@Foden5354 Which country and city are you from and I will tell you what I found out about it. Tell me what city in the world that doesn’t have this urban problem. Tell me.
@@Foden5354 I am from Seattle, Washington. I studied in Manila during my university days. I always visit my family every 2 years but they’re in Negros island. I always get a special treatment in Manila every time I visit the city. I know the city very well and I speak the language. Although I lived in Europe for a long time I can say that I love the Philippines better because of the people. My retirement will be in the Philippines. There’s nothing like it. I am half Spanish myself. I speak Spanish and Portugese. My dad’s family are from northern Spain.
@@Foden5354I have been to the PI 8 times now. It does get frustrating going into some shops, restaurants etc.. and dealing with poor customer service. But then again, when u tip in the West, things get better, right or wrong is the nature of the beast. Beyond that, nothing but great people and sure, taxis want to scam you, but where can u get a taxi for so cheap. Visiting bad areas is same everywhere. Why would I want to visit Skid Row in LA? Be patient , blame the corrupt government, not the people
Thank you for your effort in naming your locations properly. You're still conflating "Metro Manila" (NCR) and "Manila" the city, but at least we can see your effort to correctly refer to each one depending on context. More power to you and your channel ! LIked ! ♥
@@TenCo-by9pf Lol...maybe you are a DELUSIONAL person here, @kaitoerelv3236 is right, the term should be Metro Manila not Mega Manila, it sounds a Sugar-Coated utopian place from you🤣🤣🤣
@@TenCo-by9pf Lol...@kaitorev3236 is right, the term should be Metro Manila not Mega Manila, Manila alone is not a Mega City, get your facts correct🤣🤣🤣
You are surrounded by people who works hard, dress well , English speaking,always a smile on their face,nice modern buildings,international restaurants,what else can you ask for?!!🇵🇭🇨🇦proud Filipino Canadian here eh?!
There are modern business district in Metro Manila. Right, Ortigas is one. Try to visit Eastwood City as well, Arcovia, Araneta Center, Greemhills, Rockwell, Manila Bay,
If u are english speaker PESO is ok to say... PISO is the tagalog version of PESO. But u can't use PISO while saying it in english , it's not pleasant to hear... so if u gonna say the money in tagalog use the PISO . like TEN PESOS(SAMPUng PISO) We also calling the 1 PESO coin as PISO... u can just say PISO , it means 1 PESO coin.
I'm on the 10:11 minute timestamp right now. Watching it while taking a quick break from work, but intend to watch the whole thing. I just had to drop a comment because I got curious about your vlogging gear. I saw GoPro on your Description List, but wondered how you're able to switch between front and back facing camera while you were walking along the Ortigas Center. I used to work in one of those buildings there before moving to live in the U.S. Hope to hear from you soon. I am waiting to get my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in the mail.
I love the medical insurance company that you featured! Great I will be there for a month. So this is great 👍🏻 thank you.. is the Philippines safe? Stupid question but it will be my 1st time .. excited!
Hi Dany - thank you for covering my country, the Philippines. I haven't gone back home since 1986 😢 - but your blog is so inviting and i might consider going back home now - thanks
Manila has 2 sides, Old Manila - Intramuros, Quiapo, Binondo/Chinatown, Dividoria, Tondo etc....and the other side which is ultra modern w/ skyscrapers - Makati, BGC, Eastwood, Rockwell, Ortigas n Cubao centers, Vertis North, Newport city near the airport, Venice Canal Mall, Aseana city n nearby Mall of Asia area , Filinvest city n other newly deceloped townships of Bridgetown, Parklane, Arca North, Arcadia, etc....
That is wrong. "Manila" has borders defined by its charter (RA 409). "Manila" refers only to the capital city at the west coast of NCR. Everything beyond it (e.g. San Juan, Pasay, Makati etc) is not Manila anymore.
This is not correct. Historically, the entire region was indeed Manila. But this was way back Spanish colonial era. PHL is no longer a Spanish colony. We achieved independence almost a century ago. And since then we have promulgated new laws that redefine our geography. "Manila" today is no longer the same "Manila" ages ago. "Manila" today refers only to the capital city. All the "other side / ultra modern" you mentioned are now part of other autonomous cities that have their own valid identities separate from Manila. Times change. Move on. Keep up!
Manila Province also known as NCR also known as Metro Manila. Manila City is the Capital City of the Province of Manila. Manila Province is the National Capitol Region.
@@kaitoerelv3236in international context Manila is Metro Manila. You book a flight to Manila NOT Pasay. Concert tours in the metro are labeled as Live in Manila.
I love hanging out in BGC. Im residing here in NYC but there’s nothing like BGC. Here theres a lot of aggressive homeless inside the subway train. We don’t have that in the Philippines MRT & LRT
Danny dissing BGC got instant wrath retribution (the rain) from the BGC deities. LOL just kidding. I understand that coming from the west, BGC may look very similar to most North American cities, thus it may not have that authentic local appeal as compared to Makati which have more elements of Filipino/Local culture. But I think people should start to realize that all future developments would be more like of a BGC, because the locals prefer that direction. BGC has now become the defacto blueprint of new districts being built around the Philippines. It's very common to hear commercial and government developers to tag their developments in pipeline as "The New BGC of the North", "The New BGC of the South", and all other taglines that tries to replicate BGC. Rarely or never you'd encounter "we are building the next Makati".
Bro, that "Pink Egg" was locally called "Itlog na Pula" (Red Egg, Salted Egg) and it was eaten alongside rice (you can add small slices of cherry tomatoes if you like; but it's best with it)
Hi Danny, I live in California, had been watching your Vlogs for years. Where have you been, and Harry Haggard, Ali .I miss all three of you. Welcome back to my beautiful Country. Take care, God Bless!
Hello Sir! Have a pleasant day! ❤ I noticed that you like the pastries in the Philippines haha 'cuz i saw in some of your older vlogs as well that you love it 😂 anyway, thank you for visiting my humble country! ❤❤❤
Dany Dev -In Makati,Philippines apartment facing skyline of Makati ,Gym looks pretty much complete equipments ,most corners has malls or supermarket,getting a body massage hopefully relaxing results,new haircut looks good ,ready to move out for farther vlogging
Theres a lot of new vloggers coming to The Philippines but Danny is one of my best vloggers. Never boring unlike other vloggers they just take videos without saying anything. I hate that
Thank you to these kind of vloggers who show the beautiful side of Metro Manila. As a Filipino living abroad, I'm tired of watching poverty porn vlogs 😅 they are the reason why the world thinks that the whole Philippines is just plain slum. Please feature Intramuros, Rizal Park and Manila Zoo next time ♥️ Thank you for this!
Dany Dev- New haircut new looks on you ,it’s becoming looks more handsome,you have little beard mousetach looks good with good nose shape interesting.Incredible vlog set up in modern urban city ,entertaining.
It’s been 7 years that I didn’t see my family in the Philippines. There’s a really big change in Philippines. I live in Pasig City. There’s a lot of buildings now. Left the Philippines in 1991. Thank you for doing this blog about the country.
I'm in Denmark but i am filipina and i was born in South of Philippines in Pagadian City Zamboanga DelSur Mindanao. Thanks for sharing your opinions and this so fantastic video. I missed my beloved country the Philippines❤
Answers to some of your questions and confusions: 9:34 The line is usually called Line 3 or the MRT 3 15:45 That is the Rockwell Center right beside Poblacion. Some of the most expensive apartments and condos in the Philippines are situated there. 25:50 Zambales is a 2-hour drive north of Manila. Known for mangoes and fine grey beaches. 30:51 They are playing Padel, a tennis-like Mexican sport similar to squash. 33:12 That is Glorietta Mall. Same developer as that of Greenbelt. 39:25 There's an R logo inside the Starbucks so it's a Starbucks Reserve indeed. 43:39 That's the Ayala Museum. Some of Southeast Asia's oldest precolonial ceramics and gold jewelry are housed there. 43:59 Part of Makati's charm is that the buildings are a mix of styles from different decades. Asia's first highrises are still standing in Makati, a testament to the Philippines' past as Asia's richest country after Japan. 44:37 Brutalism. Very 60's cold war style. 52:04 That's the reconstructed Mandarin Oriental Manila Hotel opening soon. 54:43 Salcedo Village is the unofficial he name of the block of buildings right across Ayala Avenue. Bel Air is the legal name of the administrative area (Barangay) where Salcedo Village is a component of. It also covers a residential area right beside Poblacion. 1:05:34 The residential area is THE Bel Air residential area 1:12:37 BGC is almost as big as the Makati CBD. But BGC sits on a flat rectangular grid, whereas Makati has curved streets. Your vantage view of Makati in New World Hotel also includes the Ortigas skyline in the distant background, hence why Makati may have felt bigger than it is. 1:28:44 the W Center in the Philippines is not a hotel. More of an office and business center. 1:31:47 BGC is a destination for many people; hence the festive recreational vibe 1:46:49 BGC feels smaller because it's easier to "see" where the developments end in BGC due to of the straight grids. BGC's skyscrapers are designed to be concentrated on the sides of the grid. They really planned the center part to be devoid of high buildings. Unlike in Makati where highrises are densely packed NYC-style, with small parks per area. 1:50:40 Foreigners have been told to avoid Manila, hence why you don't see alot of foreigners. 1:53:57 Karyoka is a fried snack made from rice flour with brown sugar and caramel. Really good 1:59:33 You should have tried the palabok as well. 2:08:29 The delicacy is called Sapin-sapin made of rice flour coconuts ube and sometimes jackfruit 2:15:05 Don Roman Santos building. Built in 1894 and was spared from the WW2 Bombing of Manila; it was an American Red Cross facility. 2:16:00 Escolta Street was the Philippines' first Central Business District. Some of the Asia's oldest examples of Beaux Arts structures are in Escolta. 2:17:12 Fried quail egg stand 2:18:35 There are 182 ethnic groups in the PH. In addition, pre-colonial migration from Taiwan, Malay Peninsula, China, India, and Polynesia have all contributed to different appearances. 2:27:26 Giving Melbourne CBD vibes 3:19:13 Corinthian Gardens Subdivision, one of the Philippines' most expensive villages. Hence why the houses look impressive. 3:22:02 Not Makati. That's the Greenhills district and Araneta City. 3:30:32 They turned the upper floors of Citadines into residential units during the pandemic. a 1BR unit (exact copy of your room) sold for 15 million PHP in 2021. Might be more pricey now. 3:36:23 Those are the 540-kilometer Sierra Madre mountain range, the longest mountain range in the Philippines. Popular for its "sea of clouds" destinations.

1:03:55 Haircuts in PH Provinces are around $1 usd, Makati $9 usd, BGC $20 usd, San Francisco (where I’m from) $60 usd 😢 definitely less expensive anywhere in the Philippines
just go to Asian barber for $30-35 cut
That pink egg Danny you add slice fresh Tomato, red onion and chili and fish sauce eat together with rice, ( kalamansi) aswell
There is a nice mall in that area called “The Podium”. Also try to visit Eastwood City, Filinvest Corporate City, McKinley Hills, Rockwell Makati. These are small CBDs with similar vibe like BGC
I think Manila holds the world record for most number of malls. In every corner, there is a mall. 😊
Sometimes I wanna call Philippines as land of the many many beautiful BIG Malls in the world, truly a Shopping Mecca in Asia.

He was alreaady too close to the Rockwell area when he disembark on Guadalupe MRT station. Missed opportunity😅
Ncr is a huge world a multi diverse place.

Ortigas is about to be my future home once I move back to the Philippines
The jeepneys are being phased out with new modern hybrids and electric ones. They just passed that law which is unfortunate. I guess it’s the future which is environmentally friendly and safe.
That’s very sad. Jeepneys are very cool! I hope they keep them.
Thanks Dany.
One of the most EXTENSIVE depiction of Manila because it covers many areas in Manila. 😊
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Hi Dany - thank you for covering my country, the Philippines. I haven't gone back home since 1986 😢 - but your blog is so inviting and i might consider going back home now - thanks
Dany Dev - Having a hair cut that looks becoming on your shape more handsome,you are nice guy,enjoyable vlog .
Manila has 2 sides, Old Manila - Intramuros, Quiapo, Binondo/Chinatown, Dividoria, Tondo etc....and the other side which is ultra modern w/ skyscrapers - Makati, BGC, Eastwood, Rockwell, Ortigas n Cubao centers, Vertis North, Newport city near the airport, Venice Canal Mall, Aseana city n nearby Mall of Asia area , Filinvest city n other newly deceloped townships of Bridgetown, Parklane, Arca North, Arcadia, etc....
That is wrong. "Manila" has borders defined by its charter (RA 409). "Manila" refers only to the capital city at the west coast of NCR. Everything beyond it (e.g. San Juan, Pasay, Makati etc) is not Manila anymore.
This is not correct. Historically, the entire region was indeed Manila. But this was way back Spanish colonial era.
PHL is no longer a Spanish colony. We achieved independence almost a century ago. And since then we have promulgated new laws that redefine our geography. "Manila" today is no longer the same "Manila" ages ago. "Manila" today refers only to the capital city. All the "other side / ultra modern" you mentioned are now part of other autonomous cities that have their own valid identities separate from Manila. Times change. Move on. Keep up!
Manila Province also known as NCR also known as Metro Manila. Manila City is the Capital City of the Province of Manila. Manila Province is the National Capitol Region.
@@kaitoerelv3236in international context Manila is Metro Manila. You book a flight to Manila NOT Pasay. Concert tours in the metro are labeled as Live in Manila.
Hi, I'm in Florida right now, but I really enjoy walking with you in Manila. Awesome place.
I love hanging out in BGC. Im residing here in NYC but there’s nothing like BGC. Here theres a lot of aggressive homeless inside the subway train. We don’t have that in the Philippines MRT & LRT
thanks for appreciating our country ❤
Danny dissing BGC got instant wrath retribution (the rain) from the BGC deities. LOL just kidding.
I understand that coming from the west, BGC may look very similar to most North American cities, thus it may not have that authentic local appeal as compared to Makati which have more elements of Filipino/Local culture.
But I think people should start to realize that all future developments would be more like of a BGC, because the locals prefer that direction. BGC has now become the defacto blueprint of new districts being built around the Philippines. It's very common to hear commercial and government developers to tag their developments in pipeline as "The New BGC of the North", "The New BGC of the South", and all other taglines that tries to replicate BGC. Rarely or never you'd encounter "we are building the next Makati".
Welcome back Dany enjoy your stay and be safe
thank you very for sharing us your experience visiting our country and putting a good word for it .
First comment danny...❤
Bro, that "Pink Egg" was locally called "Itlog na Pula" (Red Egg, Salted Egg) and it was eaten alongside rice (you can add small slices of cherry tomatoes if you like; but it's best with it)
Enjoy watching, great video as always!!
Thanks 🙏🏻
This vlog is very nice! Kudos to you. Good job!😊
Thanks for featuring the Philippines. I hope you will always include the Philippines in your future travels.

Theres a lot of new vloggers coming to The Philippines but Danny is one of my best vloggers. Never boring unlike other vloggers they just take videos without saying anything. I hate that
This boosts the master!😂 Yow right, he is d best. Pssst..I think his in love with Manila😂
I was never in Ortigas, nice to see your video. Thanks
Opus Mall which just opened recently is probably the most modern mall in Manila. 😊
It’s an upscale Robinson’s Mall.
@@bayareatandersprobably Robinson’s version of Podium
Dany harry and ali the bromance of the Philippines welcome guys enjoy ur vacation here in ph take care always .
Love it 🎉
Thank you to these kind of vloggers who show the beautiful side of Metro Manila. As a Filipino living abroad, I'm tired of watching poverty porn vlogs 😅 they are the reason why the world thinks that the whole Philippines is just plain slum. Please feature Intramuros, Rizal Park and Manila Zoo next time ♥️ Thank you for this!
Dany Dev- New haircut new looks on you ,it’s becoming looks more handsome,you have little beard mousetach looks good with good nose shape interesting.Incredible vlog set up in modern urban city ,entertaining.

I love your video cause you really show how the people in the Philippines live. I miss the Philippines now!
Thank you Sir for promoting our beloved country the Philippines, keep safe and enjoy your vacation there ❤️👏
1:00:25 Nice hair cut and for sure u're handsome vloger.... Thank you for sharing your trip from another better face of Manilla.
Hope you can also see Tagaytay. About 1 hours from makati. Nice weather there and beautiful view of the smallest volcano within the lake
I always get an actual card to use when using MRT. But it’s expensive such extra.
Love The walk to Oritigas from mRT. Even if it’s long and hot
go to Batanes Island surely you will see hidden paradise sir Dany nice to see you here again in the Philippines :D
Thank you for loving Philippines and Filipinos sir! Feel at home! GOD BLESS❤
It’s been 7 years that I didn’t see my family in the Philippines. There’s a really big change in Philippines. I live in Pasig City. There’s a lot of buildings now. Left the Philippines in 1991. Thank you for doing this blog about the country.
I'm in Denmark but i am filipina and i was born in South of Philippines in Pagadian City Zamboanga DelSur Mindanao. Thanks for sharing your opinions and this so fantastic video. I missed my beloved country the Philippines❤
Answers to some of your questions and confusions:
9:34 The line is usually called Line 3 or the MRT 3
15:45 That is the Rockwell Center right beside Poblacion. Some of the most expensive apartments and condos in the Philippines are situated there.
25:50 Zambales is a 2-hour drive north of Manila. Known for mangoes and fine grey beaches.
30:51 They are playing Padel, a tennis-like Mexican sport similar to squash.
33:12 That is Glorietta Mall. Same developer as that of Greenbelt.
39:25 There's an R logo inside the Starbucks so it's a Starbucks Reserve indeed.
43:39 That's the Ayala Museum. Some of Southeast Asia's oldest precolonial ceramics and gold jewelry are housed there.
43:59 Part of Makati's charm is that the buildings are a mix of styles from different decades. Asia's first highrises are still standing in Makati, a testament to the Philippines' past as Asia's richest country after Japan.
44:37 Brutalism. Very 60's cold war style.
52:04 That's the reconstructed Mandarin Oriental Manila Hotel opening soon.
54:43 Salcedo Village is the unofficial he name of the block of buildings right across Ayala Avenue. Bel Air is the legal name of the administrative area (Barangay) where Salcedo Village is a component of. It also covers a residential area right beside Poblacion.
1:05:34 The residential area is THE Bel Air residential area
1:12:37 BGC is almost as big as the Makati CBD. But BGC sits on a flat rectangular grid, whereas Makati has curved streets. Your vantage view of Makati in New World Hotel also includes the Ortigas skyline in the distant background, hence why Makati may have felt bigger than it is.
1:28:44 the W Center in the Philippines is not a hotel. More of an office and business center.
1:31:47 BGC is a destination for many people; hence the festive recreational vibe
1:46:49 BGC feels smaller because it's easier to "see" where the developments end in BGC due to of the straight grids. BGC's skyscrapers are designed to be concentrated on the sides of the grid. They really planned the center part to be devoid of high buildings. Unlike in Makati where highrises are densely packed NYC-style, with small parks per area.
1:50:40 Foreigners have been told to avoid Manila, hence why you don't see alot of foreigners.
1:53:57 Karyoka is a fried snack made from rice flour with brown sugar and caramel. Really good
1:59:33 You should have tried the palabok as well.
2:08:29 The delicacy is called Sapin-sapin made of rice flour coconuts ube and sometimes jackfruit
2:15:05 Don Roman Santos building. Built in 1894 and was spared from the WW2 Bombing of Manila; it was an American Red Cross facility.
2:16:00 Escolta Street was the Philippines' first Central Business District. Some of the Asia's oldest examples of Beaux Arts structures are in Escolta.
2:17:12 Fried quail egg stand
2:18:35 There are 182 ethnic groups in the PH. In addition, pre-colonial migration from Taiwan, Malay Peninsula, China, India, and Polynesia have all contributed to different appearances.
2:27:26 Giving Melbourne CBD vibes
3:19:13 Corinthian Gardens Subdivision, one of the Philippines' most expensive villages. Hence why the houses look impressive.
3:22:02 Not Makati. That's the Greenhills district and Araneta City.
3:30:32 They turned the upper floors of Citadines into residential units during the pandemic. a 1BR unit (exact copy of your room) sold for 15 million PHP in 2021. Might be more pricey now.
3:36:23 Those are the 540-kilometer Sierra Madre mountain range, the longest mountain range in the Philippines. Popular for its "sea of clouds" destinations.
Hi Danny ❤
Thanks for showing to the world, our beautiful country
