    The Contrast in Manila is Insane, it has one of the biggest contrasts of price and rich and poor that I've seen in Southeast Asia. The Bonofacio Global area has huge upscal luxury malls and all multinational compnies and is a business hub and just the other side of BGC is a whole different world of chaos cheap Filipino street food and jeepneys and the real hustle and bustle of the Philippines

    Thanks Tom for loving the Philippines and it's people. Manila and Bangkok are good choices to live. Actually, I always find your Philippines vlogs more fun to watch. What I love about you Tom is you're flexible when it comes to food and in going places.

      I felt like his vlogs were more genuine back when he was living in cebu. I pretty much stopped watching after that because of all of the fake/scripted random encounters with cute girls. I like authenticity and feel like it's an insult when someone expects you to believe their script is real.

    @Roaming Hogan. Loving it Tom and looking forward to the next one already. Me and my girlfriend was in uptown mall and around the bgc area.
    You definitely needa try Makati man,coz you will enjoy it there and the night life is crazy!!
    If you decide to split your time in Manila and Bangkok hopefully i see you in Manila sometime.🙏

    Hey Tom welcome back to Manila. My wife and I were in metro manila from October - November. Halloween night we hung out in BGC such a different place. Try the chocolate layered cake at Starbucks. I'm not a fan of Starbucks however I loved the cake. Enjoy Tom and be safe. Stop flirting with all the females even if there energy is good. Go find that female that liked you in the slum neighborhood. She was better looking than your ex. I haven't watched her since you left being there but I see she has a polish bf.

    Big contrast because big companies in bcg are not giving housing to the employees, that’s the maintenance ,salesperson stayed there . because most of them lives in different provinces from visayas has to mindanao, and they cannot remove that place or else nobody work in bcg ,regular employees cannot afford in condo.

    You say no chaos no fun. I think that depends on the person, and age. Your 20+ years younger than me. Not giving out my specific age😊. But, comparing my wants and needs to yours I can see gravitating more to the modern side than the other side. Not saying I wouldn't go to the other side ever. I most definitely would, I think BOTH sides have pros and cons.

Your evening meal was meaty but still reasonable even though twice the price of your breakfast meal, but a cold meal again, not for me! Is the food hot in the mall area restaurants, is it just the street food that is served cold?
