This video was uploaded in 2022 and retitled for 2024 for more views. This growing trend with content creators needs to stop. It’s dishonest and misleading to your audience and viewers looking for updated information regarding the year in the video title.
@melissalegarda 21 күн бұрын
Hello. I understand your perspective, but everything I mentioned in this video is evergreen and authentic regarding Manila. I changed the date to 2024 for discoverability purposes. Sorry if it doesn’t align with what your needs, but my intentions are pure, and the information continues to be valuable. I wouldn’t retitle if the information was dated - in that case it really would be “dishonest” and to your point, I also dislike that.

Did you go to Margate to make this video? I went there a couple of weeks ago to a go a concert and was shocked at run down down it is. Cliftonville isn't any better. I jeep hearing that the place is on the up. They're wrong! I really wanted it to be true as I have gond memories of Margate/Cliftonville having lived and gone to primary school there.
@melissalegarda Ай бұрын
Yes, of course! This footage is not ai generated haha. Margate has pockets of gentrification for sure, but largely can still do with investment and regeneration. Still charming and definitely on the up like many spots along Kent’s coastline.

It is a total dump here--people need to stop buying into the media hype & turning up expecting what their parents or grandparents saw in the 1960's & 1970's, or like yourself were here in those halcyon days-which is what the media promote. It is shocking how far it has gone down even since 30 years back-when it was already well on the slide. All the investment has gone into the Turner so called art gallery & the old town shops around it-mostly rich Londoners selling overpriced arty-farty stuff & Dreamland. The Winter Gardens has been left to rot for years-just been given a paltry sum, the Lido for decades. also the Tudor House & Theatre Royal. The only 'saving grace' for us is that Ramsgate is even worse. If you want somewhere nice in Thanet, then Broadstairs is the place.

@@melissalegarda What area would you recommend staying in? I’m having a hard time deciding whether to be in a more secluded place with good views (more budget friendly) or to be in an area with more restaurants and shops but give up the view because of higher cost. I’d love to find an area that is close to everything that I need but still has good views and budget friendly. Not sure if this makes any sense.

Thank you for this video, it was super helpful. I am visiting Milos this August and planning to take a private boat ride to Klefitos. However I just want to know are the waters still? And is there a possibility to fall sick because I am a little prone to sea sickness. And no matter how much I want to visit the place, 5-6 hours boat ride just scares me a little. Thanks again!

Hey Luis, thanks for your comment! Yes, I visited all of these places in late April and early May. Even when snowy they are accessible (apart from the Ice Cave near Katla - you’ll need to check with in the tour operator for your specific days). I’d recommend making sure you have snow boots with a strong grip on icy terrain and a high quality parka with a good hood. I hope you guys have a great trip!

also an interesting place to visit in Manila is Paco Park n Cemetery now a recreational garden w/c was once Manila's municipal cemetery originally built by the Dominicans in 1807 during the Spanish colonial period. Originally designed to be the final resting place for the Spanish colonial elite where the inner walls of the circular garden still houses the marble crypt markers that bear their family names. Also the place where the national heroes Rizal n Gomburza were buried. Inside the park is the Church of St. Pancrcius w/c is a popular wedding venue because of its beautiful background....

Balut is not a fermented duck egg. It's a fertilized duck egg. The eighteen days thing that you mentioned is how developed the embryo is within the shell. Obviously, the more days, the closer to hatching, and the closer to a duckling the embryo will appear to be when cracked open. (Or is that quacked open?) The Chinese eat fermented duck eggs by coating them with all sorts - salt and ash, quicklime and rice husks, and then burying them for months. They refer to it as Century Old Egg, and when peeled, the egg is then black in colour. I don't think it's fertilized. I think it is steamed/boiled or added to a soup.
@melissalegarda 8 ай бұрын
Quacked open! Nicely done. Thanks for your comment and correcting my terminology with a clearer distinction between fertilised and fermented. Appreciate it! I'm intrigued about Century Old Eggs, hopefully get to experience that soon
