[@teresitapagsolingan157]

You go to Quezon Ciy you call city one of the big city,the the road is seven lane and go to eastwood its nice also there also condo that you can rent also have mall you need all buy food and everything.

[@JuvelynBacalso-du7fz]

As a Filipino work in Makati, we will invite 4friends that would stay in that condo and shares the rent.Its cost effective.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

@@JuvelynBacalso-du7fz that's nice, as long as you get along well with each other! You can save a lot of money! 😃

[@JuvelynBacalso-du7fz]

@@TravelingSoloLogs That's correct! 💯

[@FrankSouza-ss7cz]

Thats a great idea to save yes, but from what I noticed usually the owners charge per head. They try to get the maximum profit from their place.

[@johnsanchez2264]

Go to Cebu Brother..Luzon is like living in LA, California

[@Vickysingh42038]

Come to India 🇮🇳 viewrs

[@Miguel_angel6791]

Cheaper depend in your lifestyle

[@STEVENSCOTTFERGUSON]

Thanks for the HSBC tip. I think China Bank lets you take out 20,000 Pesos too.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

My pleasure! I heard bank of China as well but I think they may charge a fee

[@GS-uk3ml]

Nice video. Is your apartment quiet? Or can you hear traffic outside, people in the hallway, your neighbors, doors slamming etc? I ask because I do business calls on zoom and need my place to be quiet.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

For the most Part it was quiet. I couldn't here the traffic because I was on a high floor and good spacing between the apartments but once in awhile you do hear people in the hallway. I hope that helps!

[@GS-uk3ml]

@@TravelingSoloLogs Thanks for your quick reply. How long do you plan on living there?

[@Coffewithsteve]

kind of exspensive for asia

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I think it's normal. I just wish there was better public transportation

If You Compare Your Lifestyle in UNITED States that Lifestyle will cost you $3;000 or more Specially the Sky Apartment you living at

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Yeah, for what you can get for your money in the Philippines is amazing!

[@sentinel80]

Don’t recognise that part of Makati, looks a bit rough 😩. I lived next door to Greenbelt 1, it is much nicer there.👍. It was Greenbelt park place at the time the best building in Makati. BGC didn’t really exist then. Even in 2007 I was paying 30k pm which is around $545.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

This Area is ok in Makati. If you walk like 5 minutes you get to the nicer part of makati near greenbelt and the park

[@patthecat1800]

What's the dating scene like in Makati as an American?

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

It's good, see for yourself 😃

[@Coffewithsteve]

what about visa

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

depending what country 30 days free on arrival and you can renew it for about 50 USD before it expires

[@Coffewithsteve]

1000 dollars dont go far in manila but you can survive

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

True, you do have a point but overall it has good infrastructure

[@MrWackydoodles]

Damn, you could easily get a nice stuido unit in BGC for 550usd man! that's too expensive for its quality

[@GS-uk3ml]

I'm looking for that in BGC. Do you have any names of buildings or agents I can contact?

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

really in BGC? I though it would be more

[@PabloNaidasjr]

Bro try jollibee

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I did, it's tasty!

[@Raadaaem]

Monthly Visa fees if I missed that I apologize

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I paid around 50 to renew my visa for a month but the initial visa on arrival is free

[@JohnnyLawrence293]

still living in that bubble eh

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Because I'm training for the Sekai Taikai 😂

[@alinaklaux3389]

Hello! I can design better than your designer. You try one more thing with me.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Ok thanks for the info

[@jlmarc01]

Look, I don’t agree with you at all. 1k? Really. That’s my rent right next door. What kind of life do you live? Ever go out, ever see a film regularly? I did like your video and now that area well, but don’t give hopes to people that 1k will work. It won’t. I spend 2k just on entertainment eating ect. Doesn’t include my rent. U forgot to mention electricity and if u get sick??

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks for watching all the utilities are included in the Airbnb and yes I do watch movies of course! 😂 Being sick depends on the person a common cold doesn't cost that much just a little bit of medicine from the pharmacy

[@silverstein3303]

STOPPED WHEN YOU SAID YOU'RE AN AMERICAN

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Um okay, I can't control where I'm from 😂

[@KB3TLE]

Your doing well young man considering the expensive rent where you are ! --- Many expats with more experience over there are able to get a bit more for the $ and maybe you will too after some time. 2 things over 'there' determine your cost of living -- location - and - lifestyle. If you travel some - you will find that out. > Happy trails !
