Wow BGC is such a nice place. I’d like to go there one day.🤩

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Nice to stroll around for a couple of days 😊

@@SimsimsamTravels thanks, it’s on my bucket list esp. the rooftop bar. 😍🤩

So Amazing BGC Seriously man I’ve never been there since I went here in Dubai even the day I went Philippine for vacation 😂 but through your footage man like I feel walking around

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Don't know if I could live there, maybe for a bit. But it's nice to visit 😊

Came here through a good irl friend of yours, he showed me your video's after talking about it a few times! Today we watched it together irl and really enjoyed it! Thanks for making great content! You are very enjoyable to watch and its great to see your adventures! Thanks for sharing your love for traveling with the world!

I think I know who that might be 😁 Thanks, I'm happy that you enjoyed it 🙌🏾 many more to come.

I hope the heat will end this May😢 as a Filipino not usual heat we are experiencing the heat Now.

Yes, I really hope so for all the outside workers especially. I really feel for them 🙏

Very nice view BGC ❤😍

[@SimsimsamTravels]

It's nice there for a visit 😊

[@TeacherEric173]

Those slums that you saw on the opposite side of BGC will be relocated to certain places where they can live nicely. The people who live there on the slums area where illegal settlers and the local government is just waiting for the right time for these people to be transported to a place where they can live.

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Thanks on that information. I was hoping that they wouldn't be just forced and have to see on their own where they have to go 👍🏾

[@TeacherEric173]

@@SimsimsamTravels These people have been informed for a long time that they illegally settled on a place owned by the government. The idea of forcing them is the last resort when they refused to vacate the place accordingly and lawfully.

In the summer, BGC is the hottest place (not figuratively but literally) to be in. Better off doing videos in the areas of Tagaytay or Rizal or if your time and budget allows, Baguio. BGC temperature is pretty hot all the time even when it's not summer.

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Yes, it's concrete jungle. I just wanted to film there on those days 😊 bit thanks for the tips

[@OllilleT]

There he got some "food from home" and a "Hefeweizen" :D. I always love the atmosphere at the weekend markets in the evening. It looks so charming and peaceful. I wish I could be there too, just to calm down and relax a bit. Anyway, thank you very much for another great video that has brought me many smiles and good feelings. I hope you stay safe and enjoy your trip. See you in the next video. ❤

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Love the markets 😁 thanks Olli, new vlog is about to drop 🙌🏾

Simsimsam,after you visited the famous Tattoo lady,I wonder if you explored Baguio or the neighboring places like segada.

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Yes, I've been to Sagada before and Baguio after :)

[@mimiblitberg]

Stay safe and keep cool! Good tip about the hot shower. I always take cold shower when in the PH. I’ll try that next time!

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Don't go to hot, that's also not good. But a cold shower tricks the body and it will try to warm itself up after the shower ☝️ thank you ☺️

@41:08 i dont know how healthy is that? Why they need to spray the salmon tacos with Butane gas. What would be the chemical reaction into your food.😮

[@SimsimsamTravels]

They do that in gourmet kitchens as well. Frying in Canola oil is probably 1000x worse 😄

Where did you find the white Pilipinas basketbal jersey!!?? 🤩 i was looking for it last year. And love watching your vlogs btw. Greetings from Netherlands. 😁

hey sam, i'll be going to the Philippines this july and I was wondering what is something you say is something that are must visits? I'm only staying for two weeks so not sure what I can do besides visiting family

[@SimsimsamTravels]

That's a tough one, there are so many awesome places here. Depends what you are into. I think either Cebu or Palawan. Lots you can do there in 2 weeks + surrounding islands

[@MikeReppp]

Go to Tagaytay & Baguio. Anywhere else here is literal HELL with this extreme heat

[@aileendelrosario42]

Where did you stay in BGC and how much?

[@SimsimsamTravels]

A bit outta town, BGC itself is quite expensive. I stayed at "OYO 858". Had a good private room, good for 2 for $12 a night. Only 15 minutes walk to BGC.

[@aileendelrosario42]

I forgot to ask you was it traffic on that weekend when was time for you to get back on your place? Did you take grab and how long it took to get back ?

I know Germans are very proud of their beer but how about your food? Is that something you take pride of too? I'm Filipino. I've eaten German food twice. First one was in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Bergblick restaurant. Claims to be authentic but since it's in the province, the prices were really friendly and so may have played a part why I didn't enjoy it that much. Second time was at Brotzeit Alabang but we had it to go and ate it at home. I got taste their Pretzels too. Both occasions, I found the food a bit bland and too simple for my lacking. My observation is, Germans seem to want chicken or pork or fish to still taste like what they are. Very simple cooking. Not too many flavor enhancements. Even the gravy I found a bit lacking in taste. Am I correct with my assessments?

[@SimsimsamTravels]

Hard to tell as I grew up with a very international cuisine. I also happen to like pretty much everything. I wouldn't make my assumption by a couple of german foods that you had in the Philippines 😄 I'm sure an Adobo place ran by Germans in Germany wouldn't be the real deal either. Also german foods are usually eaten homecooked, we usually have snacks, streetfood or international cuisine when we dine out. But I don't want to speak for the majority here 😁
