Great job with your videos. Keep going hard when home and i'm positive you'll grow the channel quickly. This has probably already been said but invest in two Bluetooth microphones. One for yourself and one for whoever you talk to. Rock on.

Thank you so much!!
I have bunch of family retired down in Murrell's Inlet ... they love it. Just Retired and planning on Wintering Early Jan-Early May South East Asia 2025 with lots of stops alone the way and back, but spending at least a month in Cebu City area. Your travel style/costs there was a great fit for me as I too don't live in Bars and love to walk. A Hotel apartment style room with roof top infinity pool, full cleaning service and a full gym is what I will be looking for in Cebu & BGS. Hope you get to take your Lady over to Darlington one Labor Day in the future ... now that Southern 500 is as Americana as it gets. Great info and hope to catch you in PI next year.
Thanks for sharing Murrel’s inlet is a really nice place I’m going to do a video soon on the marsh walk. 38 park place in IT park has places to stay like you are looking for pool and all it is a really nice place and the mall is a block away. You can find it in Airbnb. Hope to see you there. Thanks for your support!
Hello, Diesel Kong what's going on and I Love your videos wow wow like 418 full watch.
Thank you so much!!!
@@dieselkong you are welcome
Down to earth i love it!!!! hope it works out!!!
Thank you!!
Good content bro.
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Players do what they want suckas do what they can. Don’t listen to the suckas. Good video my brother
I appreciate you man!!
I get you on the layovers. Finding my next gate in time used to be the thing that gave me anxiety.
Yeah and if your flight is delayed you’ll have time to find everything. Thanks!
Great information, Thank you for elaborating on everything. 🌚
You welcome and thanks for watching!
having been myself 2X's we share the same experience and yes you're the main attraction, so now that you have met her .. what will become of all this ..because from experience it's a huge responsibility to carry her and the family.. and things do change along the way.. im a class A driver from California .. I enjoyed your videos.. super awesome and very beautiful...
We have plans. We will be posting a lot more of our time together we got some pretty cool plans for the channel also we are excited about. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel we appreciate you!
Hey my man. I also found my love in the Philippines. I live in Tennessee and made the flight like you. Spent time in Manila and then in Cebu. We applied for K-1 visa and got married. Can’t wait to eventually move there because it is very cheap. Love following your experiences.
That’s awesome congratulations!! How long did the visa take?
You gonna take that gal from the city to some country bunking town in Tennessee 😅this reminds me of a gal I met in a small town in Kentucky from manila it was like living in the province
@@markedwards8327 she doesn’t live in the city she is also a Philippine country girl. Thank for your support!
sounds like you have improved your sound and thats great thanks for that.....love your vides keep them coming.
Yes I did got that new mic. Thanks!!!
Thank you brother for your video and information. That’s one hell of a backyard you got there. I’ve run seafood from Florida up to north and South Carolina, beautiful country. It’s sad that people need reminding to treat others with kindness and respect, but I know it’s also necessary. I want to go visit the Philippines, this year myself, I’ll be watching your videos as I have just found you. God bless.
Thank you yes it is sad but we have to do it sometimes. Yeah go if you can it’s amazing and the people are more amazing. What part of Florida and South Carolina did you go to? Thank you for your support!! It means a lot!
Glad you had a good trip. My turn is coming up on the 1st of August for 27 days as an exploratory trip, then come back and decide if I'm going to sell everything and move there. I'm up the interstate from you in NC.
Moving there I think personally would be a great choice. Where are you from? Thanks
@@dieselkong I live in Granville County, NC near the VA border. I'm about 1 hr, 15 mins north of Raleigh.
@@CraigKerwood-001 oh ok I been through there few years ago.
I just want you to know, sir.I just saw your channel and you've taken your time to explain these things so I'm a newspaper.Thank you for taking your time and really explaining
Thanks for checking it out and your support
Thanks for checking it out and your support thanks!
Sounds like you had a great time brother. You could probably do better flying Philippine Airlines. Good pricing and great customer service.
I want to do that if I can find one leaving Hawaii I’ll take that flight. Thanks
I spent 6400 in 2 1/2 months excluding airfare. It all depends on the city you visit. Also, expats may not to eat local food due to montezuma's revenge. You were lucky. Some cities have American style restaurants which with tip may push $10. Most people won't use Air B&B because the area may not be safe because of no security. Many guys will do the meet the family thing which wkll cost a lot of money. Others may have a girl that wants things for you to buy, and you will probably give in. Your trip was more unique than the typical foreigner visiting here. I live here and settled in, and my cost is about $2300 a month. Without drinking or any bad habits. But still having to watch my spending. Good video.
I didn’t spend that much and I met her family and they cook a whole meal for us and treated me like they always knew me like I was part of the family. They were amazing. I’m Saint Bernard food cost is way lower than Cebu I love the country side better than the city. Thanks!
That's great. Cebu island is beautiful and the water is amazing. I'm headed to cagayan de oro on Friday for a few days and then Iloilo and Roxas for a 3 day festival then up to Boracay to relax. Great motor bike riding.
@@jones4334 oh sweet been seeing that festival on UA-cam enjoy!
Hello . If you spending $2,300 a month are you renting a big house or you have a lot of people living with you ? Car payment ?
Thanks for sharing your journey. Hope you get back to the Philippines soon. BTW I love the Myrtle Beach area and any part of coastal SC really. Hunting Island is my favorite place on earth. I'm from a small town here in Georgia called Sylvania, Not sure if you have heard of it.
I have heard of it I’ll be doing videos in this aera until I leave for Hawaii and then the Philippines on Oct please keep watching thanks for your support!
My last ticket was around 1200 from Seattle. No baggage fees for the international flight for the first two bags.
I paid around 350 for a regional ticket to Seattle. It may make sense with baggage fees to fly first class depending on the airline because they waive fees for first class .
Air B&B was around 800 for the month.
Other expenses were around 1400. Grab, food, restos, ext.
I spent around $2200 for the month, not including airfare.
In the province things are way cheaper I noticed when we got to Cebu we spent a little more on things. Thanks for watching and your comment we appreciate you!
@@dieselkong I forgot to put where I was. I was in Nuvali which is a expat friendly area in Sta Rosa Laguna…South of Manila along the SLEX.
@@aboveitall9600 oh ok I don’t think we will head that way but hopefully one day. Thanks
Heck yeah! Why I love the Philippines.
Going out to eat and the hotels, people!
I spend a lot of time at my lady family house m, they always cooking food. But when I had the chance go out to eat I did!
I would say I spend around the same as you did. I did save some money staying at my girls place.
Plane ticket cost me right around 1200 around trip. But im also here in Washington state.
Getting me all excited. I got coupoe more months to go i be back there!
Sweet! Yeah I can’t wait to get back there my friend. All the best! Thanks for sharing and your support!
Great video! I Love Cherry Grove area. We like the Grocery store/ Hardware Store Etc! We are looking for a nice little home rental down there screened-in porch Etc! We live in NC and travel down about a couple times a year!
Cherry is one of my all time favorite more layed back. Yeah they store is really nice has everything. Thanks for watching and you kind words.
I will definitely be waiting for the Filipino stuff😊 it’s been a great few weeks watching. Maybe we will meet up in the Philippines someday soon. Keep up the good work very interesting.!!
Thank you hope we will run across each other there soon. And thanks for watching!
wow very nice
Thanks
I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to the Philippines! It was nice to meet you at the plane/airport
Hey James how have you been? It was nice meeting you also looking forward to returning. Hope our paths cross again. Best wishes!
@@dieselkong all good man. Didn’t get a chance to go to the concert there, tho. Same here and best wishes as well. Looking forward on your next vlog to the ph
@@jamesguevara9527 thanks it’s amazing how much I miss it there Oct coming pretty fast tho. When’s your next trip back?
@@dieselkong i wish I could go back sooner. But I’ll be there around May/June next year. If you’re there by then and visiting Manila or the northern ph let’s catch up.
@@jamesguevara9527 for-sure we will. See ya man.
I think you're a nice person and humble person. Thank you so much for going to the philippines and being a good person to the Pilipino. I think your heart is good.
Thank you so much for your kind words. They are amazing people. Made a lot if friends the short time I was there. Can’t wait to go back in October.
Thanks for all the info your giving. My wife is in the Philippines right now and I miss her and the Philippines very much. Thanks again for your positive videos and telling everyone to respect the people in the Philippines.
Thank you! They are amazing people there we are guest there we should respect there culture. All the best!! Thanks for watching!
Welcome back home. My question is, did you set up all of your travel and housing arrangements or did you utilize an agency?
I did it all myself on line
Good job thank you for the information. I am scheduled to go July 31st Lord willing I will get to see for myself. Blessings to you.
Best wishes your will love it!! Thanks for watching
Just got back from Philippines myself. 3 weeks in bohol. Ldr relationship. Couple days in cebu. Im located at ga s Carolina line. Would love to come do some fishing with you in your area. Trade some stories about the Philippines and the ldr relationship
I’m going to Bohol next trip. Oh yeah let’s do that I love to fish I’m sure you have some great story’s from there. Rickifoto@gmail.com reach out. Thanks for watching
I assume you stopped ar Inchon airport in Korea? That is nice airport and very easy to get around compare to Hong Kong. Glad you enjoyed your trip here cant wait to see you back. Hey, can you sow us around your area there in SC like malls, restaurants and such. Appreciate you sharing your experience 🙏.
Yes that was my first stop South Korea I was a little confused but found easy to get through with help. Yes I sure will where are you from may I ask? Thanks for watching!
Awesome account of your trip costs, agree grab is great in Manilla when we have a flight the next day, we stay on the island in a basic resort for about $20 US $30 Australian a night and its facing the ocean, million dollar views for that with our province living and in the main land, Cataman, Northern Samar, not much more for a western motel room, Veranda is the best and the cost compared to Australia, dirt cheap. You are 100% corrected about the smiling faces all around and my heart goes out to all in such poverty. I and I guess you can't wait to return like me every day….. I'm gratefully to have my wife by my side as LDR sucks lol. Best wishes from Melbourne tonight and thanks for sharing your stories
Thank you and best of luck to you I can’t wait to get back to her!thanks!
You are from Australia?
Yes we both live in Australia and applying now for a partner visa. I can stay up to a year in the Phillipines but unfortunately need to work. Hopefully you can Bring your Fillipina to the states as a LDR is tough after you have physically being with each other we found. Thanks again for your videos Diesel and look forward to seeing you both again
@@robertshaw2602 good luck with everything. And yes it’s harder after you meet because you want to be together. Thanks for your support!!
U explained good😊 by the way I like ur background and also the shade made of bamboo 🥰
Thanks babe🥰🥰
@@dieselkongYw babe 🥰
@@YangYang10068 🥰👩❤️💋👨
@@dieselkongI just subscribed to your girlfriends UA-cam, I been subscribed to yours
DK - thanks for the share....sounds like you had a wonderful trip! What kind of business do you run in SC ? Never made it down that far, but close in Topsail, NC. Beaches are great in your neck of the woods! Thanks again for sharing. EW :)
Thank you for watching. We have a homemade ice cream business 11 years old last may.
thanks, i want to travel to the Philippines in July
You really should go. It’s amazing
@@dieselkong did you use a dating app I'm from lake Charles Louisiana
@@sticking202 No we met on tic toc we were both on the same live. but the app I recommend is Christin Filipina. It’s very well monitored to keep scammers off of it.
@@dieselkong ok thanks big pimp
Yeah, man, those are some crazy long layovers you did, but I think you learned what you needed to. I am in Hawaii, and you going to the PI is like me going to Europe. I have business partners on the East Coast, and one that is in SC, actually, and I always stay on the East Coast for a stint before heading to the EU. You will be so much more well-rested after your Hawaii stop in October. Good luck with your travels!
I learned a lot on this trip that will definitely help on my next and I hope I can help someone else getting ready to travel there. Whee do you stay on the east coast when you are here? I live bear myrtle beach sc. thanks for your comment and support.
@@dieselkong I do a lot of business in the DC/NOVA area so if I am headed over the Atlantic I always stop in DC/NOVA. United has a non-stop HNL to Dulles so that is great. I love the SC coast, Charleston and Myrtle are awesome. My partner in SC lives inland in Spartanburg area and I tell him that he needs to move to the coast. He says he can visit Hawaii, but he and his wife often spend long weekends in Myrtle. My place is in Metro-Manila so I fly into NAIA and the cabs can be terrible. I almost exclusively use Grab or a private driver, who is also a Grab driver on the side. But there is a "trusted" cabbie line, at NAIA, but in general I tell people to learn the simple term "meter Po" and don't get into the cab unless they agree and turn the meter on from the start. I also suggest in areas like Manila where there is a lot of traffic, if the trip takes a long time and they are sitting in traffic, give the driver a good tip. Good luck on your next trip in Oct.
@@kahawaiihele oh yeah Charleston is a beautiful place I see Myrtle all the time. I told a few people to only ride grab and a taxi with a meter and both agree on payment. I have a few friends that live in Spartanburg so I’m know all these place. Thanks for sharing and be safe on your travels. Thanks
The customs/security is a lot easier in Taipei than South Korea so consider the major Taiwan airlines for your next trip over.
Always try for the shortest layover you will always have enough time to catch the connecting flight to the Philippines no matter if you pick Taipei or Seoul.
Thank you for that info I’ll definitely try that.
Nice video.
Thank you!!
Philippines are still cheap. Thanks for the great Infos.
Thanks!!
Great informative video! Thx! Was great seeing you the other day! Best of luck in everything!
Thank you so much!!
Glad you had a great time in the Philippines. I have been there 5 times and love it. Appreciate you telling everyone to be respectful of the people there. They are so great and nice. Great video.
Yes some of the kindest you’ll ever meet. Thank you and thanks for watching !
Myrtle beach is nice, we spend 2 weeks at edisto every year. My family has a lake house on Marion. I enjoy your content keep up the good work
That’s awesome I go to Marion fishing sometimes. Thanks for watching and your support.
I'm Retiring in 82 Calendar Days. By Mid-October I'll be headed to Cebu City for a Six Month Vacation... I'll decide THEN, if I'm returning to the US.
We stayed in IT park 38 avenue was the building very nice place be sure to check out the night market and some of the beaches in Cebu. Dey go see the country side. Thanks for watching!
@@dieselkong I'm planning Three Months in IT Park, then decide what to do for the next Three Months... I plan to visit all around Cebu City. Assuming I decide to stay when I hit my "Decision Point" in April 2025... Then I'll figure out more.
@@tedjohnson4451 that’s the best way because you may find something cheaper and in a better place than booking online. Good idea.
I’m flying out early in January out of Chicago too
Probably Cebu City.
I just retired and I’m not interested in finding someone to date or anything until like 6 months once I get settled in.
And my budget in $1,600
Don’t drink and don’t do bars so I believe that ($1,600) would work..
I will be looking for a simple 1 bedroom condo that’s close to everything and I will get health care plan for the major stuff that might happen.
I believe the costs is ($200-250) a month.
I do want to find a Christian ( non Catholic Church).
Anyway
My question is what was your luggage costs ?
Did you have to pay extra for any of your bags.
I’m planning on 1 carry on with a personal size bag and 2 checked luggage.
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Blessings
Greg
I carried only a carry on I didn’t check in any bags sorry I don’t have much information there for you. I do know that they told me one check in bag was $55 that was on delta. On the other 1600 will be plenty there you will be comfortable with that. Enjoy the place man travel around to island to island for a little boat rides don’t cost that much and you can always find a great room to rent for short term while you travel. They are Christian churches there also. Sign up for travel before you leave. etravel.gov.ph/ hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your support.
Great info!!
👍🎩👍
Thanks!
Interested in seeing anything related to SC.
Nice thanks to I’ll be posting that in up coming videos.
I will be in Murrells inlet in a couple weeks. Going fishing
Nice where are you from? Check out the marsh walk there. Thanks
@@dieselkong I am living in the DMV area right now but I was born and raised in myrtle beach. The Marsh walk is great.
@@ronniewright7220 oh ok local. Nice!
Man things are a lot cheaper there. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend
Thanks yes they are. You do the same. It’s crazy how much cheaper it is man.
That’s how my relationship start it nice all good . But that social media for Filipinas is very dangerous..
Social media is dangerous to all county’s not just Philippines. I see it here in the USA thanks for watching.
loved your videos from the trip, cant wait for more
Thanks for watching and your support!
South Carolina let's go Red fishing brother
Let’s do it where you at In sc. let me know a date. Thanks!
Nice thanks much 😅😅😅
Thank you !!
That’s incredibly cheap. Imagine going anywhere in the US for that duration & only spending that little $$.
Yeah that will not happen Thanks for your comment.
Wow 😲 So a 3 week trip enjoying everyday was half the cost of your round trip airfare!
Yes food is really cheap also hotels and Airbnb.
Well said
Thank you!
I just bought another property it’s in St.Bernard
Oh that’s awesome! I seen some there for sale really would love to get property also. Thanks!
Do you plan to spend all of your time in the Philippines with your girlfriend when you return? She seemed to really develop a crush on you.
Yes we have a lot of plans when I get back we will video all. Thanks
LOVE YOUR VIDEO
Thank you!!
Foreigners are so tight they squeak.”The cab was $8.00 but a friend said we were ripped off,should have only been 100p.”
The fiend is a Filipino he said we paid way to much.
Nice video much appreciated how do you carry your money or ?when you first arrive through customs
In a fany pack make sure the $100 bills have no marking or rips the smallest mark or rip they will not exchange it. They have to be like new bills. Thanks for watching.
Whats up bro iam flying to manila in sept my flight on United cost 1460 round trip from ft. Lauderdsle to manila. 1 stop in san francisco 3 hour layover 23 hours total
That is a short flight lol best wishes is it your first time? Thanks!
What airlines are you using in Ft. Lauderdale ? I’m going next March . Tampa area .
@@alancollins7370 I use delta. That was from Myrtle beach I left from. Thanks!
I’m going to Manila on 11/1 and fly cover to cebu, I plan on staying at the spot you did. How far is it from the cebu airport?
About 25 mins with traffic
Your layover to and from too long. My family and I used ri live in Bolingbrook before moving to SoCal. Try PAL straight flight from LAX to Manila 14 hours. That’s the flight I always take. I was there last Sept but in Makati a bit more pricey but that’s where my gf is from and lots of cousins I the area. Never been to the places you mentioned but once I retire in Makati will check out all the different islands in the Philippines
Yes they were someone told me to take longer layovers also for cheaper rates if I didn’t mind the layovers. Thanks for watching!
@@dieselkong if I had to take a layover 2-3 hours maxed.
This is good to know! I have layovers in Korea straite from Minnesota 4 hrs and Manila 4 hours I am going to Mindanao.
Cebu bound in the fall any tips for a first time international traveler?
Give your self plenty of time at the airport. When you get there get a grab or a taxi with a meter but I recommend grab you can download the app. Change your money at the airport or the mall you may pay just a little more but it’s the safest. Get a smart sim for your phone. You can also do that at the airport Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Grab is not that cheap many places in the Philippines ...As I write this I am sitting in my condo in Angeles City and I just priced a grab to the airport which is 20 minutes away and the cheapest Grab car price is 358 pesos which is $6.09 USD ... also, the cheapest you will find a 2 peices of chicken with rice is 150 pesos or $2.55 USD and that is street food, not a restaurant with aircon... 2 pieces of chicken in restaurant with AC here is no. less than 350 pesos or $5.75 USD and the average price if 500 pesos or $8.75 USD... he is accurate with rental prices but there are generally much cheaper flying options with much better time tables from most placaes in the US to Manila if you book at least 30 days in advance ... but as always, I appreciate the video Diesel... and good luck with your pretty gal
Saint Bernard the meal was 2.04 what I explained in the video and I didn’t spend over 4$ in grab where ever I went. Even with these prices it is way lower then the USA cost for food and travel. Thanks!
We appreciate you and your support can’t wait to get back there. Thank you!!
15 hours lay over in qatar was not fun
Yeah I did that in Atlanta. No fun
What Airlines?
Delta
When are you bringing your bae to America to visit?
We are working on that a lot of paper work tho. Thanks for watching.
I also wanna travel 5 to 6 months a year to east Asia. Vietnam n Manila , Thailand . It’s really hard for me to just stay with one girl , cause I already been married twice why commit so fast again . All you spent was 750 bucks for 19 days wow so cheap! U only bought her a backpack ha . Dude get her a new iPhone or LV purse. Spoil her why not ? U already have money . I like to spoil girls even if I don’t like em that much . 😀
Thanks for your comment she told me she was a simple girl she never ask for much. I do spoil here but that’s not what we are together for we fell in love and time doesn’t together is better than thing we can give each other. Thanks again for your support.
I am from Folly Beach South Carolina. Where are you from ?
I’m around the myrtle beach aera
@dieselkong I have lots of family in Hemingway and Conway. That's why I live in New Orleans Louisiana. 😆 just kidding
I love my family I appreciate your videos hopefully visiting Philippines in December
@@mikesample6104 thanks I appreciate it
@@mikesample6104 lol
👍👍🇺🇲
Thanks!
Just curious... is it a prerequisite now that you must do blogs in order to visit or stay in the Philippines ? It seems there is about 1000 different people doing these every time I check out something from the Philippines on YT ! We're getting the same
stories/advice over & over again from different people who
are there. You can only beat a dead horse for so long ?
Each one is a little Different. His was exactly what i wanted to hear!
Thank you!
No I started this blog 2 years ago and when I travel anywhere I like to post. We have big plans for the channel when I go back in Oct I hope you will continue to watch. Thanks for your support!
WHY must you tell the whole world? .....cant you just enjoy your life. You people will NEVER stop untill usa owns the philippines.
Where are you from my friend?
this is probably a silly question but did you get shots before going like vaccines? if you did what did you get? just asking cause im not sure what to get...
No there is no requirement for shots now. Thanks!
@@dieselkong i understand there's no requirements for shots....but did you get any is what I'm asking and if so what?
@@johnevans8328 no I don’t get any.
I don't get shots either. I go back and forth between Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore.
@@Not_A_Tourist yeah I didn’t have to and was glad of that to.
This should be thirty seconds.
It was plus 9 and a half mins added.
