NICE VIDEO BRENT, THANKS FOR SHOWING US. IVE SPENT 1 YEAR ON LUZON ISLAND IN PAST YEARS, GOING TO CEBU THIS CHRISTMAS 🎄 ✌️🎅 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BROTHER! 👍

Good tour Brent! All the bloggers from that place and they only take us to the bolivard 😮😊😊

There's a big food court on the top floor of Lee Plaza decent food

[@floribertosousa2251]

Great 👍 video Brent. Thanks for taking us on a trip on the streets and roads of Dumaguete. Take care and keep up the great work.

[@kevinwolters7803]

Thanks for the information 👍, In Cebu, Traveling to Dumaguete on Monday for 4 days, it will be my first time

[@mikefay100]

Brent, I really appreciate your honesty regarding your disengaging a bit from people in your surroundings. It hit home for me. I live half of the year in America and I have a place in Cebu City. I spend most of my time with my girlfriend and her family. I only venture out to meet other foreigners occasionally wanting/needing to communicate with others who share common experiences and language. I’m usually disappointed and I’m not in a hurry to talk with other foreigners. Complainers,know it all’s. Etc. I intend on searching for other like like minded foreigners when I get back this month. Philippino’s are great people but I need more familiarity being that I’m on the other side of the world. I’ve subscribed so I’ll check in to see how things are coming along. Wishing you the best!

[@christophermeaney5485]

Always enjoy your videos I love the ones we love the ones you just walking around like you did... It's like we're walking with you looking around town we totally enjoy it can you do it more often good exercise for you and we can sit our asses on the couch and enjoy it as well thanks brother I hope your buddy back in the States is all healed up... How's he doing is the shoulder back 80 90??

There’s nothing wrong with travelling solo in foreign lands. That’s what I’m doing in Japan. But in Hiroshima I was in an Oyster Bar (They’re a specialty there) and I struck up a conversation with a nice American guy who’s been in Japan for several months and we stayed until closing. I’m fine with my own company but it’s great when you just connect with someone and you can be talking for hours. Then perhaps you never see each other again.

[@brentstrippin8867]

Awesome. Totally agree

[@TumbleweedRocks]

Just wondering where you are now, where are you going? Tumbleweed goes wherever the wind blows..lol

[@riitaalin]

1st thumbs up 😊

[@brentstrippin8867]

Yay! Thank you!

[@britgerus1956Glenn]

Brent Many thx, very informative video. Of course you were going to buy the T shirt...lol... The risk of using cards there is increased as they write all your card details down... Networking is always good you dont have to be in other peoples pockets etc... Have a great evening. Glad the quiz with Simon worked out. Cheers Glenn

[@bonkymnobols5466]

I'm right there with ya brotha. I'll be there in a month. Meeting people will be one of my hurdles as well.

[@saipanguy3756]

You seem like a good guy. Honest and down to earth. I subscribed.

[@brentstrippin8867]

Thank you

[@malice4052]

Great video!! All these years with all them vloggers there, this is the FIRST time i ran into a video of downtown Dumaguete... I'm impressed with the street and sidewalk cleanliness... Keep doing walking talking videos.. you don't need to be friends with everyone, just the ones you're comfortable with.. VA Manila treats only service connected disabilities.. don't expect same services as US

[@RobertMiami305]

Great Video Brent!

[@edgardootara9190]

Thanks for this video, i wanna say something that i didn't see any traffic lights in most busy intersection of the street.

[@Lawrencerice]

I was at Sideways last Thursday for quiz night, too. Cowboy at the end of the bar, near the back walkway where the restrooms are.😊

[@timtarr9364]

1000% correct Brett only use it for ATMs when you give them your ATM card it's a debit card you'll watch them disappear they'll be gone for a while be careful they're getting your information

[@roygoad2870]

Personally I’ve found playing badminton and pickleball, gym once a week lots of swimming and running a good way to keep occupied and continue to meet socially, where ever you end up living long term!

[@cecilwampler8733]

Really informative video. It looks like you're having no problem staying busy.

[@ripley7t429]

You have to be careful with Schwab, NFCU as well. They like to cancel if they determine you are there permanent. Many folks have no issues, but some get the surprise and nothing works. Even though I was just there for a couple weeks and had the trip noted, NFCU locked my card and I had to spend an hour on the phone to get it straight.

[@niccum8002]

I have NFCU. You have to be sure to add your location in your travel plans on their app periodically. I do it for two or three months at a time. Problem solved.

[@user-dy5pq7tp7g]

Wow was it a restaurant in Vietnam that got your information?

[@jamesbuckingham8073]

Look how clean the streets are!!

[@101basi]

Thanks for the city view. Good video

[@randolphbeck4036]

you should have gotten an atm card from a bank that will let you toggle it on and off . thats how i protect mine from unauthorized use or fraud

[@Not_A_Tourist]

Yep, I do that with my Wise card. One time I forgot to unlock it and tried to buy coffee at the airport, card declined. So it works. Plus you get an instant notification that an attempted purchase was performed.

[@timtarr9364]

If you're hungry don't eat between 11 and one that's when it's crazy busy at all the eateries I have to laugh at 12 o'clock everything closes mostly for lunch nobody's in the stores watching anything at a lot of places they totally shut down it's hilarious

[@davidcoleman2796]

At least you can get food there . Try to find anything to eat in Havana . Omg .

[@stevenrichards7902]

Cool video mate, never seen the real duemeguete, and good advice on the money, I always make sure I have extra cash in the Phillipines

[@Bucketlist-Traveler]

Hey Bret, you don't mention WISE, this is suppose to be a great way to get cash!! Do you see WISE around or use as a backup? very, very cheap. Thanks brother

[@brentstrippin8867]

Yes. Lots of people here use it

[@nineseven420empire3]

Your in the Philippines...... They tend to overdo the filters and catfishing..........

[@viking8889]

Stop spinning the camera around. I know you want to show what’s nearby but plan the shot carefully in advance and not just repeatedly and randomly moving the camera. Its unwatchable

Good morning Brent. Hey, nice to see you getting out for a walk through downtown for a change. I’m here in Southern Shikoku, Japan. It’s been super hot. This week it’s been 42C with high humidity! How’s the temperature there??

[@brentstrippin8867]

Good but rainy

Jollibee sucks if you ask me I hate their food I'll eat at Chow King or greenwich usually if I'm with my wife we go to Robinson mall and go up on the second floor where you can get Tagalog food and other types not bad up there the rib shack also pretty good at the mall

No way for me. 10000x beter in Thailand. Thanks for nice video of real Dumagethe...

[@davidcoleman2796]

Sounds like you need people to talk to . I do not have this problem. I never shut up . 😂 this is what i am worried about if i spend any time in Japan . I hear it is hard .

[@brentstrippin8867]

People are very quiet and reserved in japan

[@davidcoleman2796]

@@brentstrippin8867 yes . I am a bit of a Japan nut . I have studied the pacific war most of my life . Read Shogun 5 times . Lol . I can stop over for a week on my way to Thailand. Toronto, Vancouver, Tokyo, then onto Bangkok. Do you think a week in Japan is to long ?

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

@@davidcoleman2796I think a year in Japan is not too long. You can easily spend several weeks here. I’m Canadian living in Southern Shikoku, Japan for going on 14 years now. However, building relationships with Japanese is next to impossible. This has been my experience anyway. I’m working on my exit plan.

lol anxiety you, moved to a new country, you have balls my friend

Take a good look around you'll see there's absolutely zero parking for cars everything is motorbikes motorbikes motorbikes I hate driving through Dumaguete I never find a place to park my car

[@brentstrippin8867]

True story!!

[@buzzbuzz4437]

You have the right idea, you show what we want to see, you just need a partner

[@williamkyle6275]

Dumaguete has the vibe of Bangkok back in the 60’s and 70’s however, I’m just not inspired by the looks of things. I do see that they drive on the right side of the roads as apposed to driving on the left side of the roads in Thailand also, the speak English in the P. I. How do you compare Dumaguete to other mid to large size cities in the P. I.? I noticed that the beach area is not so glamorous in Dumaguete. You said in one video that you had spent some time in Thailand. Do you prefer P. I. Over Thailand? Do you miss living in Texas? I lived in San Antonio, Texas and have visited Austin Dallas and Houston. I owned some land over in East Texas (Livingston area) but sold it a year or two back. I enjoyed living in Texas. Of course Texas women are awesome too.

[@Not_A_Tourist]

Your diet can effect anxiety, maybe change it and drop the soda

[@alexd8933]

Charles Schwab Checking FTW!! Luv getting those fees back.

[@alexd8933]

I did not like Dumaguete, Valencia is more my pace.

[@papalolo3769]

Brent, you remind me of the epitome of a good ole boy. I love that, try a trip to Ormoc city. It’s a small town. Not many other foreigners. Looks about like Duma. There aren’t many available girls in their 30’s or above. I tried for a year to resist the young ones but there weren’t any old ones. Nice teaching or nursing students, that go to church. It’s not all bad having a young wife, she is not going you to any credit for being older that she will try to let you see anyway. You get over the age gap real quick except when she gets naked. From a Texan to an Okie. I enjoy your content too.

[@joelgreene3469]

Nice vid

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

Hi again, with your anxiety, I’m curious what triggers your anxiety the most? Have you tried getting into a regular exercise routine? Perhaps that might help you feeling better. Just an idea. Keep well.

[@northernbohemianrealist]

Just like psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis or appendicitis, some emotional challenges just ARE. There is no 'cause.'

[@MrSamSafari]

As long as you have food and place to sleep and a monthly income. I don't see why you are experiencing Anxiety. If there is a real or imaginary problem in your life just give it up to Jesus to take off it. Free yourself from the burdens of this world. Keep praying to Jesus to carry your burden whatever it is. That's what I have done. Today I asked Jesus to do whatever he wanted to do with me. I feel like I can even die on the spot with a smile on my face. 🇺🇸🗽✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

[@northernbohemianrealist]

No. If you are bleeding, go to a clinic or hospital. Don't just pray about it. If you need counseling or medication for emotional issues, see professionals. Don't just pray.

[@MrSamSafari]

@@northernbohemianrealist Are you a Doctor ? ✝️✝️✝️ Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Financial Advisors can't even save you.

[@northernbohemianrealist]

@@MrSamSafari Not at all. But vaccines have prevented my getting polio and small pox.

[@MrSamSafari]

@@northernbohemianrealist off course, doctors and science can help. Lawyers can help. But who helps the doctors and the lawyers, another professional ? Only Jesus can save and give you peace. Give up your life to Jesus. Try to reach him for one's sanity a life without Jesus is a life of suffering and fear of misfortune and sickness. With Jesus there is no fear. It's one's salvation . 🇺🇸🗽✝️✝️✝️

@@MrSamSafari I'll sacrifice a chicken to Jupiter for you this afternoon. Your kind ran the western world for 1,000 years and what came of it? The world improved only after it realized that imprisoning Copernicus was wrong.

Dude, if I went down any street in the US and made my video shoeing only the damn street, is that video worthy? No! Neither is this video worth anyone’s time!

[@northernbohemianrealist]

No. One of the things my ex-wife wanted to see was a US neighborhood street. All the movies showed these tree-lined quiet areas with two story homes, yards, and no people. Growing up in Penang, she thought it was impossible. Then she got to Wisconsin and it was just like the movies. I liked this video. There isn't a single block that is anything like this where I live. Turned around, I think Filipinos would marvel at a Wisconsin downtown in January, with the clothes, snowbanks, and complete lack of motorcycles.
