Our FIRST TIME in the PHILIPPINES (Manila)

We're in Manila. Today we'll dedicate to you a short video about the great city of Manila. Let's look for the target. Oh, it's very surprising up ahead. A lot. Feel like you're about to be surprised by a tuk-tuk. And he will be very famous now For all the right reasons, of course. Go to the local tuk-tuk Singing karaoke on the street with the people I just need to take a chance. And meet your loved ones and congratulations That's definitely a first impression of the Philippines. We've reached the middle of Manila city. We just arrived in Intramuros and this is part of the city Nó goes back to the Spanish era The city in this very lovely It feels like we're in Europe. The buildings are beautiful. There are many conditions. There are many cafes and shops. There's also a camp in St. Augustine. We'll go see it soon. You can see camp St. Augustine up there. Nó trở với thời gian dân dân It is not the time to go back to the old days It's a very lovely building. It's all around the buildings. And it seems there is a man We'll go see him now. Oh, my God, this place is so beautiful. Oh, God, look at this black thing. It's very sweet. We have very beautiful things There's plenty to eat. And there are also equipment and supplies And other things. It's very beautiful. There are many beautiful buildings Stay in the city It's pretty easy to use. There are no more conditions. So it's very easy to use. We've seen a little of the city. In the city And everyone also buys food Everyone has a good morning. There's a lovely building. Or not? Ngon, please. - What? I'm going to go. It doesn't look good. It's very interesting when you run around and see all those Spanish names. The buildings are also named after Spanish names. As you can see behind me is Casablanca. It means the White House. I'm learning Spanish at school. And I want to go to a place where I can practice Spanish. So, I tried to read all the names in Spanish. And some people also spoke Spanish. Say hello, good morning to him. And I've answered in Spanish. So, very funny. In the country, there are sections with news. They're very beautiful and they look very beautiful. So they help you get to heaven in the city. And they have places downstairs to fix things. Or they have small restaurants. It makes a very good feeling. Are you Black? Right. Now we're at Horse Courage. We think it's a very good way to see the city. They have six centers in Tomorrow's. The houses are very interesting in the city. And they have a lot of bridges, It makes a very good morning. Outside, outside the bridge, It's very busy, there are many tram stations, and the chemicals, and many other things. It's really very quiet and natural. It's a quiet and natural place. I'm very happy. Now we are looking at a culture In the center of Manila. And culture always does me in the sun. Because it's so cute. Now they're doing a paper. We're very sick from eating disease. Now we are stopping I'm sick of eating. My mother and I have been treated for eating disorders. So now we're trying to kill Thank you. It's cool. Why did you do that? We want to go to Chinatown. Chinatown? Well, how much money? Two hundred. - Two hundred? All right. No need for more chemicals, That's very good. We're on our way to Chinatown. So, that's 250 dong. You said 250 dong. We don't give you money. No, no, no. I'm not going to. We're not giving you money. Go on, run along. Pay 250 won. Well, I paid all the money back. I'll give you money. Sorry? That's great. No, no, we've paid for people to run. We asked you. You can give us money. We've paid people to run. There it is. 250 won for running. If not, you can give us the money. You got Tuk Tuk? There is no Tuk Tuk. You pay. Oh, my God. What? That's interesting. That's the most interesting thing. We thought he was running Tuk Tuk. Because he's standing in a Tuk Tuk. So that's a very strange situation. It's very strange. He started walking and... If you don't give me the money. He will ask, do you have Tuk Tuk? I'll tell you what I'll pay for Tuk Tuk. That's what we have. If you must. We have each other and that's a lot for a love We'll give it a shot. To Chinatown. We arrived safely and sound in Chinatown after a really random tuk-tuk experience I told the tuk-tuk driver to tell his friend that he's gonna be super famous now For all the wrong reasons of course Because he was trying to scam us. Like we're going to give him a 500 peso tip. We're now in Chinatown. We've come to the lucky Chinatown mall I can smell Asian food. I can see noodles. We are in Asia. I see dim sum. All right, let's go in and have a look. It's a cute area though. I love the lanterns. Got to love a Chinese lantern I feel a little hypo after the yukult I just checked, I think there's like 14 grams of sugar in one yukult 14 g of sugar In that little thing? - I know. Currently in a very modern looking mall Doesn't look very Chinatownery. But anyway Maybe I'll have to go back out on the street and explore a little Okay, but it looks like a very nice mall though. I must say it's a nice place to come and cool off. Because it's pretty hot out there today. There's some really nice clothes Oh, cotton on, cotton on Cotton on Okay, we might make a little detour to cotton on I really don't need any more clothes. - No, not at all. But while we're here A little cotton on shopping while we're here We just came out of the shopping center. And we've just reached a busy market It's called Chinatown Walk. They're selling a lot of fruit and vegetables. Looks like they got toys up ahead. There's a lot of fried food that we've noticed here. For a place called Chinatown Walk It's very hard to walk. Wow, it's so busy up ahead This has got to be one of the most crowded markets we've ever been to. Hey, hey, whoa. Oh, cherry apples That's cool, I've never heard of cherry apples before. Yeah, very busy market Lots of beautiful fresh fruit It smells really, really good. Oh, some music up ahead. There's probably a lot going on in these different markets Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa You're gonna get hit by a box here. Okay, it's a little walking karaoke stand over here I absolutely love markets. They always have the best atmosphere. They're always so busy. And it's really interesting to see what they sell. And you always meet the nicest people too - Hello. - What's up? - Hi. - How are you? It's really hard to walk here. How are you? - Hi. What's up, man? Hello guys, welcome to my vlog Everyone is so friendly here. They have the most beautiful smiles Look at these really cute bikes. That have like carriages on the sides They look like a good way to get around actually. Because the streets are really busy with traffic So I think they would be easy to maneuver around And fresh fish over here. I just love exploring the markets. It's the best way to see a place's culture. Maybe you need some of these Ella Check these out. Instead of getting a Brazilian butt lift You can just stick these in your pants Some butt pads. Other, of a width of less than 30 cm From everywhere here, look There's more butt pads. This is definitely a busy market. It's pretty much like taking a number in the queue and lining up There are so many people, you can hardly walk here Just before we left, I actually broke my sunglasses. So I think what better place than this market To actually go looking for a pair of sunglasses So let's see what we find We come to the material section of the market They're selling all kinds of materials and clothes. I'm trying to get this man to sing We were walking by and I could hear him singing He has the most beautiful singing voice But he's really shy now to sing for the camera Come on, yeah And all his friends are like Yeah, come on, don't be shy Okay, are you gonna sing? I think he's a little too shy. Okay, we might come back later and see if he's changed his mind Sorry, sorry, I was just... I think I found the best place in the market So nice This is the place to be here We're taking turns The prices look really reasonable here. So you can get tops and pants for about 150 pesos Shoes for about 350 That's what I was saying. What was I saying? Okay, it's a little challenging vlogging here Because people keep coming up wanting to say hi And have photos Super friendly, super lovely people Such high energy I'm loving it This market just keeps going on forever. It's huge. It's really hard to walk in here. There's so much to see It's definitely a sensory overload right now. Oh my God, it's such a vibe I'm absolutely loving this place. Definitely an amazing first impression of the Philippines Your top is so beautiful. Wow, that's one busy street. Oh my God, are we going down there? Yeah, why not? Oh my God. Lily has a box on her head. I think he did that on purpose to get us to move. Oh my God, this is so crazy. Talk about a traffic jam. Where's everybody going? I don't know, I'm not sure. Where is everybody going? Where are you going? - I'm going. This way. We have no destination We're just exploring Just following everybody. Yeah, we're like penguins wading together Where are you from? - I'm from the city. We're from Australia. You're from Manila? I'm from Laguna. The name of the country Oh, all right. Nice. See you, nice to meet you. Bye. Don't forget me, thank you Such nice people we're meeting. We're going into a mall right now. Okay, and that looks pretty busy too. God, this area is really busy Okay, you have to zoom in on that. Oh my God, that's a lot of people Wow, this is busy too Every shopping place we've been to in the city has been so busy It's more like an indoor market. So they're selling clothes, handbags We thought we were coming in here to... Ah, sorry about that. It's so hard to walk in here We thought we were coming in here to escape the hustle and bustle outside But it's just as busy in here Back out into the madness now I can definitely conclude that Manila is a great place to come shopping So we've seen these really cool... It's called a jibney. But it looks a little like a hammer. It's a local form of transportation here in the city. We thought it would be fun to go and catch one. So we're gonna go and see if we can find one now Don't really know where we're going No, but I guess we can just jump on one and see where we end up Yeah, we'll just jump on one and see where we end up We just jumped on a random jibney And we have no idea where we're going. So I'm kind of curious to see where we'll end up We're finally on the move. It's pretty busy There's not really a seat left in here. So to go on one of these rides It's 15 pesos a person And basically you just hand your money over to the driver And then he'll hand the change back to you. It seems like you just jump on And then when you pass your location You just jump off whenever It's not going very fast though. No, quite a lot of traffic in the inner city Yeah, there's a lot of traffic. It's fun to use public transport in different cities. Because you get to get a glimpse into the local life And how people get around So we just got off the jibney And we don't really know where we are We just landed in some random location here in the city So we're heading back now to go and visit some markets We'd like to sit down and enjoy a nice drink. We've seen a few Starbucks around. But they're definitely few and far between What we have seen though There are lots of fast food restaurants And fried snacks at street stalls No real restaurants Everything seems to be either burgers, pizza or Chicken, fried chicken Like deep fried everything Everything looks deep fried. It's a little strange But they don't seem to really have a cafe culture Or anything like that here. Maybe we're just missing those spots. I'm not sure. Yeah, see, fried chicken. They love their fried chicken here. It seems a little unhealthy, I must say. I haven't seen anything healthy at all. And I can't say this city is the most attractive But what it lacks in those areas The people will definitely make up for it. Their personalities are amazing. The locals are so sweet, so kind. We are so happy. Very happy, very energetic I love to have a joke and say hello to you Like this guy here. They just want to say hello. And come and ask you where you're from So yeah, really nice people And really funny. And they have such a great sense of humor But I have to say Some great shopping and really great markets though. As I was just saying The locals are so friendly here. Just walking past a little flea market at the moment A little bit like chess? So he won? He's from Arab, Arab country The European Union What about Saudi Arabia? - You're not? He is a Muslim. Mostly half Filipino, half Saudi - I'm not. We live in Saudi Arabia. We live there. We're working in Saudi Arabia. Singing The locals look pretty excited about you coming up there. Yeah, they were loving it. They were literally vibrating It looked like so much fun I just had to join their party Seriously, the locals here in Manila are so friendly It's just so nice. They're so happy. And just having a lot of fun Just spotted a food market. So we're gonna go check that out. Okay, so it's actually not just a food market They're also selling electronics and clothes. And all sorts of things. Yeah, I need a pair of sunglasses. How about those? They all come in the same style I don't think they're worth much. They feel like they could break any moment Let's have a look up here. Yeah, okay, let me grab those How much for these? 100 and One hundred, all right? So I got myself a new pair of sunglasses. Only 100 pesos So it's quite a bargain. But let's see how long they're gonna last though. We just arrived at an outdoor food market And it is so cute There are fairy lights And it smells delicious. So I'm looking forward to seeing what they're actually selling. I'm not really sure what the traditional Filipino food is. So we have more colored balls This time we have striped balls It looks like it comes with some kind of noodles. And salad underneath Almost looks like lollipops. Like candy rather than meat Looks very interesting. It took us a long time to walk around the markets Everybody kept stopping me for photos. Saying that I look like Barbie It was really fun meeting all the locals So we just walked from one market to the next market We're now in a indoor market And we're just walking past the famous Jollibee I've heard that this is the national food of the Philippines. Unfortunately, we can't really eat anything there. Because we're celiac and we have to eat gluten-free. And it looks like it's all fried chicken and burgers. So it's a bit of a bummer we don't get to try it It's really busy in there. Looks like people are really enjoying it. We just walked out of the indoor market Only to come out to another new market There are so many markets in this area We just entered yet another market This one is so pretty. It's decorated with lanterns and flags. It's very colorful. It's so cute There's just a whole bunch of different pop-up markets All around the city If you sat at one end of where all these markets are You could probably spend hours and hours Just going through all the different markets shopping The decorations in this market are so gorgeous There are fairy lights everywhere And it creates such a nice atmosphere We've been walking around for about 2 or 3 hours In this market And it's full of locals. We haven't seen any other... Pasty white westerns I like it, it's nice It has a really cool local feel. It's nice to kind of see a glimpse into the culture Here in Manila We arrived at the Tutupa Night Market Just before sunset And an hour and a half later It's really, really busy. It's absolutely packed with people. And a good atmosphere. I'm loving the music they're playing. It's such a vibe As we walk along We're just like... Vibrating along to the music That's really cool. Definitely recommend coming here We just arrived at BGC Which stands for Bonifacio Global City And it is so modern It's completely different from the places We explored earlier today Lots of skyscrapers and modern shops. My first impressions of this area Is that it is reminding me a lot of Kuala Lumpur Or Singapore. One thing we're definitely noticing about this area Is there a lot more food options In downtown Manila We noticed there's a lot of fast food restaurants A lot of fried food. Whereas I just saw a salad shop So I'm so relieved That you can actually get salad in Manila There also seem to be a lot of green areas Nice green lawns Lots of trees. And it all looks very manicured So it's kind of nice and neat here. - Bye, now. Okay, thank you. People are so cute and friendly here. And he's such a groover The moves on that guy Still jiggling This place is so cool. I'm just loving it It's so cool here. So far we've just been walking down This really long walking mall And they have a lot of restaurants. And nice shops. Yeah, really nice. Very aesthetic. Yeah, it is actually. Such a vibe. Oh, my God! They have healthier options here. Actually the shop's called Healthy Choices Just came across a big shopping mall The so-called market market So we're gonna have a look now We have arrived at yet another shopping mall This one's called the SM Premier Aurora Shopping Mall And it's pretty spectacular They have all the usual brand names Like H&M, Marks and Spencer But they also have a lot of Asian brands I've noticed as well So I just walked in And I've created a little plan for myself Of where I want to go So first Kiehl's I need some new skincare. Then I'm going to Stradivarius. Then Bershka Then H&M And a pull-up bed. This could be expensive. Lifts and firms Have you reached that age group? First of all, I'd like to say I'm a little bit of a shoe fanatic. I love collecting shoes. And we just entered The Jordan Store in Manila And it's been on my bucket list for a while. I've really been wanting to Visit this store Because it's a bit of a famous store So I'm really happy right now I feel in my element Checking out all the shoes The shopping over at BGC It's absolutely amazing.
