  • In this video, I decided to get out and stretch the ol' legs for a walk around BGC. Come along as I reflect on why I love Bonifacio Global City and what keeps me coming here. I'll tell you the things I don't like so much and if I plan to stay for a while.
    Let's explore some other areas of BGC that I've yet visited during my time here. Have you visited any of these parts of BGC?
    Check out ‪@TheSavvyExpat‬ for detailed realistic information about living in BGC.

      BGC is comparable as Singapore or Miami while MAKATI is like Bangkok wild and has more character from modern tall skyscrapers to chaos and local vibes.

    Thanks again for this BGC tour Matt 🙏 I’ve always used my credit cards wherever I went here in the 🇵🇭 and it’s always accepted except for local markets and vegetable/fruit vendors. I prefer and shop in grocery stores so I can pay and use my credit cards. I stay away from both GCash and Pay Maya for safety reasons. Have a very Merry Christmas and take care 🙏

    The golf course you were mentioning at 8:07, I believe, is the Manila Golf And Country Club, which is within Forbes Park, the most expensive realty subdivision/community in the whole Philippines. That area is already within Makati City. It is home to some of the richest people in the country. If you call BGC, as some people do, a bubble, then I could say, there are other bubbles sprouting out in Metro Manila and other places in the country.

    • @MattReardonVlogs
      @MattReardonVlogs  7 місяців тому

      Ahh right. Yes, it is true but I refer to BGC because of it's size particularly. You can walk across it and around it quickly. But it's a good place just have to spend time inside and outside I think

    You can eat authentic Filipino foods usually at parties hosted at home which are usually birthday parties. Somehow, the foods being served at the parties are usually not ordered by Filipinos at the restaurants. Filipinos tend to eat exotic foods (aka non-Filipino foods) when eating at restaurants.

    • @MattReardonVlogs
