If I could give more likes I would do it immediately for this episode. My impression so far is that the vibe in the Philippines is very similar to Indonesia. It does look neater and less hectic and busy. Glad you're filming places other than the usual well-vlogged places (tired of it). Not just the actual history but it's how you express your own thoughts that makes me curious to know more about it. You provide a broad view and a good insight of the relationships between the countries in SEA. Nice insight for a “layman” like me. Liked the cheerfull meeting with the aunties (never even heard you laugh out loud before) So here are my 3 👍👍👍. (without the clip”art”(?) 10x. Peace!

[@NickKTravel]

glad you liked it so much!

Nick! You are so cute☺️ I am fortunate enough to retire in 5-6 years or sooner (I’m 43) and you inspire me and are living the type of life I am aiming for in my retirement. Solo female traveling all over and being with the people, sharing their culture, eating their food, speaking their language and having them on camera. I enjoy seeing all these beautiful people Smile esp the children. Thank you Nick for the inspiration you didn’t even know you were giving🙏 stay wanderlust cutie pie.

[@NickKTravel]

My grandpa was alive during WWII. He said he witnessed the Japanese would throw babies up in the air and then skewered them with bayonets. He also told us grandkids that when they heard Japanese planes, he would rush and run carrying my mom, aunt and uncle and hide somewhere safe.

[@alesh2275]

Same with my mum: they would run and hide in the forest if they heard that the Japanese were coming.

[@mesavemydream341]

I really love the story telling part in this video, another good history to know 👍 thank you Nick!

[@NickKTravel]

THANKS! ✌️

[@sandyhoff3390]

Loving all your content from the Philippines! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to watch your biking adventures in Japan! YESSSSS!!!!!

[@NickKTravel]

thanks! yeah the japan videos will be in the near future, i'm excited for it too!

[@concerncitizen8988]

With your adventure you'll get to see, experience many random things unique, funny, unusual etc. Only in the Philippines. Lol 👍

[@ZackHappyLife]

Wow! That's my cousin 🥰. Go kuya atan 🤣

[@mimiblitberg]

We typically don't eat salted duck egg by itself. it's good as a topping for something sweet or savory. Kudos for trying it like that! 😁

[@NickKTravel]

yup I've come to realize that by the other comments 😅 I'm sure mixed with tomatoes onions and chili like they recommend is a lot better!

[@piacash5216]

Power on 💪💪💪👍👍👍👌

[@socalbenny4728]

The kids at the pier were asking if you've been to Mt. Samat. They were also telling you to stop giving away your bananas because there won't be anything left for you.

[@myrnamonserrat5795]

Red egg we called it salty and to taste good Put tomatoe and 🧅 onion it is called salad in US or in Europe

[@amaliahightower]

I enjoyed this vlog of Ba-la-nga.

[@NickKTravel]

haha thank you! yeah i have a hard time with pronunciations 😅

[@marlonquintos830]

Salted eggs sold in the Philippines are dyed red (hence called itlog na pula or 'red eggs' in English) to distinguish them from fresh duck eggs. Salted egg is usually not eaten on its own. We usually add tomatoes, onions and/or chilis (some call it red egg salad) and eaten with rice. It can also be used as flavoring to other dishes (e.g. salted egg chicken wings, salted egg fish skin, etc.) and salad toppings (e.g. roasted eggplant salad, etc.)

[@NickKTravel]

haha ok, i'm learning. Maybe they were just messing with me and having a good laugh lol

[@SiGlendaaaaDeCityhall]

Always take care ❤️

[@NickKTravel]

Thank you!

[@Flavio81285]

I want to comment but I don't know what to write😁, just want to say hello, continue your adventure, Nick

[@NickKTravel]

no problem there! thanks for tuning in!

[@rosebrown2267]

The red egg that you have eaten is a salted egg. They bury that in the ground for how many days that's why it's salty. When we eat that, we add tomatoes, onion, and lime and mix it all together.

[@polgonzales]

⭐️ Red egg? Some folks call it that but it’s a Salted Egg (slightly fermented). Very good for the gut microbiome. We serve that as a salad with at least tomatoes… but maybe also with onions and greens. Sometimes you’ll find it on breads or bibingkang galapong.

[@PatrickLopez259]

The purple egg is called 'boiled salted egg' perfect mix with tomatoes

[@debrashanklin6908]

Thanks!

[@NickKTravel]

wow! thanks so much, that means a lot! ✌️🙏

11:35 Cool pool rolling table.

[@jcarbiero]

3:44 Dried fish! I love to fry them for breakfast with eggs but it takes several days to completely remove the smell in the living area. So far I have not heard any complaints from my American neighbors 🤣😅First time to hear you laugh so loud. Haha

[@NickKTravel]

yeah man she got me with the boy scout remark 😆

[@ericmahinay3065]

The colored eggs are called Salted Egg. They are salty because they are buried in a salt within few days depending on how you prepare them. Some buried on the ground with salt. They were very salty, you had to eat it with rice and tomatoes. The fried fish should be fried or grilled before eating them.

[@elenaf46]

Hi Nick! Im Elena, who you met at Indonesia! Do you still remember me?

[@nubainphenergan]

nice vlog

[@georgemorrison510]

Nick, the American soldiers back then brought the sports Pool to the Philippines, which we call Billiards. The one you played, with the flat pieces and 4 pockets in a square table, is what we call Pool Trivia, although Pool is an American sports, a Filipino named Efren "Bata" Reyes is what they call the GOAT in Pool. Look him up in this playform.

[@NickKTravel]

interesting! that makes sense! and basketball lol

[@epi_diet023]

I think it's a little bit salty 😮.You have to make a tomato salad with it than it tastes good I think 😅.

[@NickKTravel]

haha that's what everyone is saying. now i know!

[@bashersbeware]

I love your vlogs

[@NickKTravel]

thank you!!!

[@jingaustria]

It is salted egg. They call it red egg because of the red dye color on the shell to distinguish it from fresh egg or a normal egg. This is good in salad with tomatoes and onions and some green veggies

[@NickKTravel]

ah, so that's the only reason for the red dye

[@keyvanpst]

👍

[@johnmascardo7047]

That lady played you with that salted egg....LOL 😂 That's now how you eat it... LOL 😂

[@NickKTravel]

i think she did! maybe i'll change the thumbnail and title of the video to that 😉

[@solkalibri1376]

I think they’re called, mausoleum. There’s a tomb inside.

[@Resdep2001]

It is nice wherever you went there, that people can just talk to you and you can easily mingle. I am not sure if Filipinos still call Americans "Joe" which is a term on endearment going back to the GI Joes liberating Us from the Japanese. Safe travels wherever you go there.

[@NickKTravel]

yeah i've enjoyed it here so far for sure. haven't been called joe yet tho 😆

[@milobaugh]

Salted eggs are usually eaten with tomatoes, onions and rice

[@NickKTravel]

ah, that would make it better!

[@garyoak4246]

The red egg is called salted egg

[@Mateozz19]

Nick you should try eating balut or pag pag LOL

[@NickKTravel]

hmm i don't know about that.... lol

Its telor asin in Indo,but ours is green..

[@youtubekoito]

You should visit the American cemetery in Makati/Taguig

[@NickKTravel]

ok, thanks for the tip!

[@keymonkey1230]

the red egg is salted and burried in the soil/ground it's quite tasty actually, you make a salad of tomatoes and salted egg with rice and a side of some kind of a chicken and vegetable soup. but most filipinos just eat it with tomatoes and put even more saltener usually fish sauce then rice.

[@joselitoespiritu1577]

Sorry the ladies got lost in translation or they forgot to tell you that is salted duck egg. I actually cringed when I saw you eat the egg on its own. It is usually paired with tomato as either condiment to fried fish or broiled vegies

[@NickKTravel]

no worries. i think they were just trying to have a little fun with me, also knowing this would be on video. i'll know better next time!

[@awooooooooooo7921]

try to visit las casas filipinas de acuzar.

[@elgincasbadillo-tz3th]

There is a us navy ship named USS Bataan.

[@RedWhiteBlue.]

The vendors should have told you at first that those red eggs were very salty. Sorry, but they should not let you eat it by itself, which Filipinos never do. They are usually used as salting additive for tomato salad, chips, rice, etc.

[@NickKTravel]

yeah i think they were just having a little fun with me

[@rzkyagusm]

21:30 That's the whole other scenario that I also think of if the emperor was trialled at that time, Nick. With how strong the belief was put on the emperor, and like you said, he is a descendant of God, what did you think would happen at that time if he was also trialled instead of just Tojo? The worst-case scenario was that so many Japanese would go crazy that their descendant of God could even be put on trial; even worse, some extremists, which might be a lot, not just on the soldiers but also the civilians, might do a seppuku. I think this is one of the reasons that the allied or US higher ups at that time thought of it as well and decided not to trial him as a war criminal.

[@NickKTravel]

i think it would have been a complete demoralization of the Japanese people and the recovery and path to a better future wouldn't have been as easy. It would have been like if a present day Jesus was tried in court in America or any other Christian nation. America stripped Hirohito of his divine statues and humanized him so to speak, and then used him to mobilize the country toward democracy. the rest is history

Through the years,after WW2 ,all the hatred from Filipinos during that brutal years of Japanese occupation are now gone , forgiven but not forgotten..And now ,the only Japan's war reparation we get is Hello Kitty for the kids,and a huge amount of money we have to loan frm JICA to build our infrastructures from the ruins of that stupid war between the US and Japan..

[@AbnerAcuna-fe8uk69]

Some old folks says that the bad Japanese soldiers doing rude things in civilians are not true Japanese they are Koreans who joins the Japanese imperial Army

[@risingsun-dl8ud]

Are you Japanese? If you are Filipino, how do you feel about this? "Some old folks says that the bad Japanese soldiers doing rude things in civilians are not true Japanese they are Filipinos who joins the Japanese imperial Army" Are you happy about this? Please don't distort history as Japanese politicians are doing.

That game is called carrom, it's actually where Efren Bata Reyes learned his crazy angled pool pocketing shots since he played it when he was a kid. The makings of a legend 🇵🇭

[@NickKTravel]

ahh ok. I've saw it again when i was passing through another rural town!

[@10000Rays]

By the size of the salted egg you ate it looked like duck egg. In chinese custom usually duck eggs are immersed in salted water for several days to become salted. First time see them colored red. Perhaps it is unique custom in the Philippines. They are meant to be eaten with hot porridge or rice. In the old days they were often brought along by long distant travellers on ship so they only have to buy steamed rice. Not to be eaten alone as snacks because they are salty. In Indonesia the red colored eggs usually are boiled chicken eggs decorated in red color to celebrate birthdays, new birth or as offering in buddhist temples. Looking forward to seeing you vlogging in Japan. Meanwhile enjoy all the south east asia fruits. Many blessings. Enclosure: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_duck_egg

[@NickKTravel]

yeah i think they mentioned it was a duck egg. first time trying one! next time i have to eat it the way it's supposed to lol

[@awooooooooooo7921]

you need tomato while eating that purple egg. because its too salty 😁

[@NickKTravel]

good tip lol
