Thank you for the information, I m interested to visit little Japan.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

@@abdulhadishamamit1154 yeah, they have different types of foods over there

[@abdexplorer]

Nice place temporary stay very reasonable.

[@abeachnutt]

I like your vid. Hardly anyone does Manila.

[@russcoaus2043]

🤠🖤👌 Great stuff.👏

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Thanks ✌

[@enzos711]

Good Vid Flow .. Some are way too vague and some are "too OCD / too much detail" ..

[@kevinr8431]

I'm curious what the 6th floor pool hours are - is it open at night?

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

It is open at night but not sure on the hours

[@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?

[@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

[@kokalti]

How is the noise level?

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

In the apartment it is good

[@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 !

[@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

[@enzos711]

So funny, how Malls are such a Big Deal in SE Asia and they're old & "dying" in the US .. Everything's Online or Downtown's & Main St's are "making a comeback" ..

[@1Cloudy2]

I subscribed cause I saw u with chris in Malaysia Mall. Good cart wheel

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Haha, thanks welcome to the channel 😁

[@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.

[@daviddarden1915]

That is so great 👍. Having been stationed at Clark Air Base Philippines 🇵🇭 (Angeles City) back in 1991 at age 28. Now age 61 and a widower, getting ready to retire in 2025. Planning to return and hopefully retire in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you for this information.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

My pleasure to help and good luck on your retirement! 😃

[@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

[@rob1379]

I checked Airbnb for one month averages $700. How do I find a good price like yours?

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I just used the search options and put the budget

[@johnsanchez2264]

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

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Next time definitely!

[@TryorDie2024]

As always there seems to be a few important cost overlooked: Healthcare/medical expenses Visa fees/renewal costs Entertainment beyond basics Unexpected expenses/emergencies Taxes/banking fees And that doesnt include: Risks Facing Manila Earthquakes. There are many earthquakes in the Philippines. ... Volcanic Eruptions. Manila is at a high risk of volcanic eruptions. ... Tsunamis. Most of the Philippines is located in a high-risk tsunami zone while the metropolis of Manila is located in a moderate-risk tsunami zone. ... Typhoons. ... Floods. ... Landslides Dengue fever A major mosquito-borne disease in the Philippines, with 208,000 cases reported as of September 2024. Chikungunya An emerging viral infection in the Philippines, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Malaria A life-threatening disease transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito, which prefers clean water and bites at night. West Nile virus Transmitted by the Culex mosquito, which is commonly found in urban and rural areas and bites at night. Japanese B-Encephalitis

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Okay, please break down the prices

[@Coffewithsteve]

kind of exspensive for asia

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

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

[@letgo211-f8x]

send support bro from ph

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

@@letgo211-f8x thank you 😁

[@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

[@Miguel_angel6791]

Cheaper depend in your lifestyle

[@kharlcopiko]

The best is in province in Philippines

[@enzos711]

Internet, 40 mbps down sucks, if your trying to work online .. Deal breaker for me, esp in Makati, you can get Real Fast Fiber Optic, etc .. ..

[@norbelsemaj3870]

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!

[@enzos711]

You survive on $1000 USD per mos total or ?

[@harryjame-u2b]

🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🥰👍

[@enzos711]

5-6 USD for a Movie, wow, surprised it's that high ..

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

I guess it depend on the cinema

[@enzos711]

Pharmacy "how many pieces" .. Order a big meal or anything "How many ?" ..

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

thank you

[@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

[@John-f8v5f]

that's a horrible deal bro, i can find 2-bedroom condo in Makati 800sf luxury apartment for 600 a month. Next time you should do some more research, your experience would have been so much better brother.

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Wow, I just used Airbnb for this. What website do you use to find apartments

[@JohnnyLawrence293]

still living in that bubble eh

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Because I'm training for the Sekai Taikai 😂

[@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

[@TheAxelinho05]

Ok so did you pay $560 for the apartment for one month basically?

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Correct

[@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 😂

[@gaboristvankiska7655]
