  • Today we filmed a pretty standard day in the life here on the outskirts of Davao City where we are living while we take a little break from travelling.
    Join us in our local Davao neighborhood here on Mindanao Island - the deep south of The Philippines that receives only a few foreign tourists.
    We ate in our favourite local Carinderia, checked out the sari sari shops, gave a little room tour of our apartment then went for some Filipino lechon to end the day.
    Davao is pretty chill definitely one of the nicer cities here in The Philippines 🇵🇭

    This is such a nice vlog. You really tried eating at the places of the common people like a Karinderya and Lechon House. While other vlogs, the vloggers would only eat to popular restaurants here where only people with money can go, but yours is diffrrent. You even ate lechon with bare hands, that's truly admirable.

      If only you realise that affordability is relative. If you earn in a currency that is at least 50x more than the value of one pesos, you are 50x more blessed while you spend in the Philippines. Filipinos are not huge complainers, all things considered, so if they complain of hunger, they truly are hungry.
