    We've kind of done the opposite. Come from Australia to live in the UK. We really miss the big tropical thunderstorms from Australia/Asia, but we love the UK summer, with its really long days. The biggest thing we miss when we think of The Philippines is the people. The Filipino people were all so lovely when we were there a few years back. ❤️

      @@lsmith6378 well yes, almost everything is cheaper than from where you are, so if you have lots of money you could live like a king here. But if your level of consciousness about your money is that, filipinos well be running after you or scam you for your money.. yeah that was happening years ago when we still had corrupt governments, specifically after the Marcos era, right to before the Duterte administration. Mostly those people in government did not respect and didn't care for people living in poverty, which in turn those people didn't also think of caring and respecting people, and some even had criminal minds. Lol. But Presently filipinos in general is back to being loving, caring, friendly and generous. We want guests and foreigners to be happy in our country.

You can have more people earning enough so they dont sleep on the streets and starve or you can have fewer people on jobs getting higher salary in exchange for more homeless on the streets. If they increase the min wage, either the company will pass the cost to consumers or let go of some of the staff. You're not supposed to make a career out of being a store clerk unless it's your own shop.

      The downside is (from my observation), drivers from the Philippines are normally not used to following the rules of the road. It's more of, "whatever goes". That's why EDSA is like a battlefield. This poses a problem when everyone else around you expects you to behave a certain way on the road--like following your own lane or not changing lanes at an intersection.

      I'm a Filipino, but for me, nothing beats Mumbai and Delhi (and Bangalore, while we're at it). We Filipinos use our side mirrors and not take over lanes if we see that we won't fit. In India, the fold their side mirrors, because they think it is an unnecessary car accessory.

    I am a Filipina who migrated to the UK in middle age, and when I started living here I was so disheartened by the fact that you cannot just walk in a dentist’s clinic and have emergency tooth treatment. You needed to book and you can of course go private but it will cost you an arm and a leg. I needed a specialised root canal and it cost us 600 pounds! So whenever I go back to visit, I have all dental, eye and cosmetic treatments like facials, massages etc. which are pricey in the UK. Other than that I love the UK. I have dual citizenship. Thanks and more power. Will follow your vlog. Watching fr Hoddesdon, England.

    I've worked & lived in UK (Coventry, West Midlands). Mostly spot-on on what these 2 said in this episode.
    Here are other things that are quite unique in UK:
    1. Higher tax (salary-based). Other taxes such as TV tax, Road tax, & Council tax.
    2. Free medical (unless you want private hospital, and if you are a tourist).
    3. Disciplined drivers and their transport system is very good, but less public vehicles during Sundays & holidays.
    4. Expensive car park fee.
    5. Roundabouts (Rotunda in the Phils.) which can be confusing at first.
    6. Beaches are cold (even during summer).
    7. Malls close early specially in small cities/towns.
    8. Brits' love of Fish & Chips, Football (soccer), tea, reality TV.
    9. Brits call lunch "dinner" and dinner "tea" or supper.
    10. They love asking "Are you alright?" no matter how many times you've bumped into each other in workplaces.
    11. Different spellings of certain words, like paedia/pedia, colour/color. Words like loo (CR/toilet), ages ago, cab (taxi), push bike (bicycle), cheers (thank you), and many others.
    12. They tell times differently: quarter past 2 (2:15), half-past six/half-six (6:30).
    I might have forgotten something else, feel free to add. Cheers!!!

    Hi, guys good to hear that you enjoy Philippines too much, Im born Filipino but immigrate here in the UK , to work in the NHS, been here for 15yrs now as a british citizen, but I also applied for dual citizen in the Philippines, hoping some day that I will be able to go back to my home land to start a bussiness, your video is so uplifting for me as a Filipino British, keep up the good work guys God bless.

    I think the reason why your orders get to you in just a couple of hours is because you're in Manila. In the Philippines most of the suppliers for online selling is based on Manila or any parts of Luzon. That is why for some of us who lives here in the southern parts like Visayaz and Mindanao, we can relate to you about your orders taking about a few days or weeks before it gets to you.

    With this video... British explorers will explore and flock to Philippines and live their lives under the sun. Forget about the privilege and money. One life enjoy it at least we will all die with a smile in our face with halo halo on a 🏖. 😂10 more years you will see a diverse population. But we hope they will integrate and be more friends with LOCALS rather than co-European vloggers. Telling everybody Filipinos are nice and friendly but no genuine effort to integrate gives them a wrong message that you stay in Philippines for massive audiences and rack up CZcams income. I know culture and language is way different but Pinoys integrates abroad so can you. No harm!

We have a house in Baguio , everytime we go home my daughter who was born here in the Uk don’t want to leave baguio, she hate warm weather so obviously anywhere outside baguio is hot” 😅Hopefully she can change her view as she grows as she is more a Brit than pinoy .&I’ll show her this video of yours.

    I was born in the Philippines but I live in Ontario, and I noticed the same thing that you guys did when it comes to store staff. Recently my family and I went back for vacation and as soon as I entered the SM department store to buy some clothes, I had about two or three of their workers come up and ask how they can help and what stuff I was looking for. One of them even walked with me throughout the whole store to help me locate each item. Needless to say, the shopping experience was smooth and the only trouble I had was choosing from the huge variety of styles. And I agree with you 100% about the size of the malls in the Philippines, they're huge! I swear you need like at least a full day or even more to fully get through all of MOA.

      @pashonfroot Před 4 lety +1

      People are friendly, yes. Those rushing to get a tube train would even stop by to help me with my suitcase, etc. I think what they meant was that here, people just do their thing. When you enter a shop, some staff may greet you but will leave you to browse while they carry on with their job. In the Phils, you have staff that are doing the job that needs to be done, then you have people who will follow you around to make sure there’s someone there to help you. When you’re walking around in the UK, some people think it’s weird if you smile at them and they don’t know you. In the Phils, people will smile at you or even go the extra mile to say hi or something.
