Oh, good for you, Ken. Travelling does take its toll. And it's nice to see you opt for that part of the BGC, among the earliest developed low-density townships, which is the more "home-y" community esp. when you recharge, self-connect or just need to feel grounded (and deservedly so) :) Happy chilling!
This Manta sleep mask is a good idea. thanks for the recommendation, my son has the same problem when travelling - cant sleep well because he prefers no light peeping out meaning complete darkness - we will go and check on this item
@@FakeCdawgVA12 @KenAbroad Mango graham sounds great. Our backyard mango trees, or those in the wild, still are seasonal but in general, Philippine mangoes are now enjoyed "all year round" (or at least can be made to flower and harvested 3x a year by mango farmers) since the early 80s, very much through the discovery and invention of the late Dr. Ramon Barba who passed away last year ü Philippine mangoes, most especially from Guimaras, are actually among our top exports because farms/farmers have since been able to multiply their yield =D
Hi Ken! Here is an early Christmas present lol! I've been enjoying watching your travel vlog through the Philippines. I'm an American-Filipino and your videos are inspiring me to hopefully one day travel and appreciate the country of my heritage. I hope you have a good Christmas in BGC!
WOW KEN ENJOYING THE PI GOOD IDEA, I BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SINCE I WATCHED THE EPISODE IN MALAYSIA THAT YOU VISITED THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY IN SABAH MALAYSIA….ADVANCED MERRY CHRISTMAS KEN ENJOY YOUR STAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS 🎄 SEE YOU ON THE NEXT 👍👍👍👌✌️🙏🙌💕🇺🇸
Hi,ken try to live like a normal Filipino can u hear about swater area? swater mostly like the Filipino way to live not a big house just normal apartment which can u live with your neighbour and you can learn the term "bayanihan", bayanihan is like helping each other day by day you can learn about things in life as a normal Filipino not too much money involve or gadgets though you need a camera to vlog but not the main point. In swater you can learn a different style of wearing shirts, you can wear sando,shorts etc like the people around you, then you can search in Pasay,Pasig, or Parañaque but you can double security not all Filipinos are good hope you get the point see you around!!
Who doesn't love New York, it is nice that our country at least have such vibe and you don"t have to get all the way to the US proper to enjoy modern city vibe aside from the peaceful and rustiic country island life
You have a great decision because BGC has everything like Makati City, Manila City (itself), Pasig City, Pasay City, Mandaluyong City, Quezon City etc..those are the highly urbanized & modern cities of the Philippines, enjoy!
Hi Ken, that's a charming place to live. Good Choice and Enjoy the convenient benefits around the area. Btw, a white tee shirt looks good on you. this is my third comment for you. I live in Tagaytay, hopefully, one day you will come over here and make a video, of this small town, with a lovely view of the smallest Taal Volcano in the world and a cool breeze all day long. 🥰
Hi Ken..more places to explore in Manila like Greenhills in San Juan, Eastwood in Quezon City, New Port Manila, SM north edsa, Robinson in Ortigas and a lot more..outside Manila, explore places like Tagaytay, San juan Beach in La union, The beautiful Baguio city and many others.
Since your basically Manila base now try to visit the nearest places such as Tagaytay , just a one and a half hours away from Manila or down north BAGUIO city a four hours away from Manila just take the tourist bus going in there. Then there is Vigan city a 3 hours away from BAGUIO city and a lot more places for you to visit, enjoy and good luck.
Hello Kuya Ken! Since you are in BGC, there is a new Japanese Mall on 8th Ave. called Mitsukoshi Japanese Mall. There's a Market, coffee shops, retail stores, restaurants and in the 2nd floor, there's DAISO store (Japanese curio store), massage chairs and book store. There's also a Japanese Ramen (noodle soup) restaurant on 7th Ave. called Mindokoro Ramenba outside the mall. Check it out! It's more fun in the Philippines especially during Christmas! Ayo Ayo (Take Care in Bisaya), Ingat in Tagalog.
Good for you mate..... To have a base. and to have a rest from time to time..... Yup, I can understand the feeling of constant traveling .. and moving around..... Least , you have a group of friend so good to have normal social life as well... Take care & stay safe
Hi Ken! I understand how you feel 😊 I hope you get healthy and routine life this time! Looking forward to your videos about the metropolitan of the Philippines💕
Sir Ken please extend again your Visa until the end of January so that you can experience the festivals all in devotion of Señor Sto. Niño. Ati atihan festival is in Aklan and Dinagyang is in Iloilo and Sinulog is in Cebu. I like Dinagyang though coz the warriors are dancing in the beat of the drums. Very energetic, graceful and awesome. It's more fun in Philippines. Enjoy your stay...
It's nice to hear that you are staying in BGC, Philippines, good desicion, Filipinos are mostly friendly, you will surely enjoy your stay. Me and my husband will always watching your Videos.. we will not skip ads to support you.. Schöne grüße aus Hamburg.. ich komme aus northern Luzon dort gibst auch schöne Orte Beispiel Baler Aurora und Dipaculao, Aurora.
What an interesting vlog Ken. It'll obviously do you good to slow down, take in your surroundings, enjoy time with your friends and rest up before you meet your family in the new year. Stay safe and well Mein Freund 🙏 🏴🇵🇭
I would recommend taking the Pasig river water taxi from Mandaluyong to Binondo (Chinatown). It is free but you need to present ID. I was the only foreigner on the ferry, you pass by the Presidential Palace. Be forewarned you can't take a video of it while passing by. Chinatown is a great place to explore and look for bargains at all the markets.
Ken I was always glued to my iphone listening to your local adventure around our beautiful country, Philippines. You are awesome describing your daily routine around our metropolis. Just enjoy Ken where can compare which country mesmerizes your travels and how you spend your Christmas days (we celebrate Christmas and New Year for FOUR months and SIX days (the longest Holidays season in the world. ENJOY and stay longer and experience hospitality, friendliness and scenic beauty of your Filipino friend).
Thats good decision for you ken most of foreghn bloggers are living there.your apartment is so beautiful so cool.enjoy your stay there you can blog everyday there in anyplace.so many to show.
Hello Sir, Welcome to our Humble country! I really like your personality and your style of vlogging, good decision to move to BGC. I hope you will stay longer here in PH. just subscribed to your channel. God bless you Sir!
Hi Ken. I watch many of your vlogs and know the BGC area and the Venice Mall having visited on my stay in Manila back in September. Everyone needs a break to recharge their batteries and you have deserved it with all of your constant traveling Rest and recover my friend and I look forward to your next adventure 👍
Hello Ken, so happy for you. Good decision, enjoy your holidays..Hope you plan to stay or live in my beautiful country just like the other vloggers. Happy holidays!!👏👍👊😊 See you around
Traveling can be both physically and mentally exhausting. Good idea to have a break from work. Never been to BGC but it looks like a good area. Upscale and very modern. Enjoy your stay in BGC. Looking forward to the next vlog.
Hi Ken. Since you are back in Manila then you might have more chances of trying authentic and modern take of Filipino cuisine in a restaurant setting. I did send you some recommendations on your IG since you kinda mentioned that your not sure which ones are the best ones. Here's some list of restos to try: 1. ABE Restaurant 2. Manam 3. Mesa 4. Locavore 5. Sarsa
Im Filipino leaving in the states. I will be traveling the Philippines next week. I found a very cheap condo in Grace residences walking distance to BGC area. For $18 per day you can’t bet that.
Good video Ken. Looks really quiet and peaceful there. Do you know any good Realty agents there in the BGC area ? Maybe interview your friends who live there and get their recommendations for finding a nice apartment there.
Guten Tag Ken! Glad you're enjoying your stay in the Philippines and your stay in BGC in the city of Taguig. Have you ever spent some time exploring Makati? It's actually a better residential proposition for foreigners, ex-pats and local citizens alike, and is in fact the enclave of the richest folks in the country. Makati not only has nice and pricey condos and apartments like BGC in Taguig, but has the country's most expensive exclusive subdivisions including North and South Forbes, Dasmariňas, Urdaneta, Belair, Magallanes and San Lorenzo. Outside of Makati and Taguig but still in Metro Manila, nice places for condos and apartments include the Ortigas Center in Pasig city, and Eastwood "City" and Araneta "City". These last two are actually mini cities in Quezon City which has the largest land area in Metro Manila. Outside of Metro Manila, you may want to visit the Bicol region where Mayon volcano and Tiwi (geothermal) hot springs are located. Mabuhay and auf wiedersehen!
@@thaidawg9231 Sorry for the late reply. Makati has a much wider price range for apartments and rental units because of the wider age range compared to BGC where rental units are relatively newer (15 years and younger).
Yes Ken! You deserve some rest. Good thing the World Cup in Qatar starts this weekend! Since the Philippine team known as the Azkals (literally street dogs) did not qualify, I am rooting for Germany! Fan of Kimmich,Sane and Neuer here 😀
Well said Ken a daily routine in a Pleasant location gives a person a good foundation. Helps to build a familiar social bubble. True words… Just slowing down for a while and take a deep breath recharge your mind and body.Sounds like it’s a good decision for you at this time. Love life… Live strong..Cheers 🍻👊😎🇨🇦
It would be nice if you show areas that has not been overkill-vlogged already..which is BGC. Like you said...more Manila....and even better the authentic places/low profile like your previous videos. 👍🏼
Hi Ken. Good idea to somehow have a good break from going around and slowdown for awhile. Also you can still vlog on your daily routine within your area and we will get to know also how it is to stay in a condo apartment at BGC.
After 3 years of trials and tribulations of travelling, guess you have made a super good choice to have a good "me time" at a super wonderful place. Nice, cosy and comfy apartment with good WIFI, gym and easy access to malls and etc. Great to know that you are cooking your own healthy and well balanced meals ( info n pics from your IG 😄) Thanks for the apartment tour and thanks again for sharing with us this coooooooool video. Cheers and have a happy weekend, Ken.
Please Ken not that MERGIM a plastick guy!..oh my…much better hang out with Solem BGC ( coz he is also a german and i want to watch you both talking in german..and his company like: Simon seeks and the funny guy Short King Vloggs they are just hanging and TAMBAYAN always there in BGC so funny and happy company..and they are alsi friend of Bugoy Drillon..thankz Ken… ;0)
Good for you Ken. You built your channel now enjoy it and recharge. There is another you tuber William from Sweeden. He goes Tru the same things. Take Care
I totally get where you're coming from -- travelling for two weeks for me is already really tiring. Forcing yourself to keep travelling and seeing new places just because you need to shoot videos can cause travel fatigue for sure. I'm glad to hear that you're taking a break to work on yourself and cook your own meals! the things you've been cooking looked really great on instagram :)
Wow, most of the World Vloggers are moving to the Philipines and making a base in BGC, make sure to hang around Uptown Bonefacio #IAmMegaworldAbePagtama
Hi Ken I’m a British citizen and the Philippines is my second home. I have a home in Makati and spend all my time with my partners family around the area of BGC and I would love you to try out areas around Pateros Pembo especially along C5 road where you’ll experience open markets throughout the day and evening Pateros being especially famous for the making of Balut Balut is considered as one of the original Filipino exotic food. And when finding the best quality fertilized duck egg, Pateros ranks first, garnering the title of Balut Capital of the Philippines Balut (/bəˈluːt/ bə-LOOT, /ˈbɑːluːt/ BAH-loot;[1] also spelled as balot) is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in South China and Southeast Asian countries, notably the Philippines, Cambodia (Khmer: ពងទាកូន, paung tea kaun) and Vietnam (Vietnamese: trứng vịt lộn). The term comes from the Filipino language. BGC are including the fort was originally a army base and over 25 years I’ve seen the growth of BGC
Try visiting Antipolo there are sites you can visit there, if youve not familiarise yourself with Quezon City try exploring it too like the Quezon Memorial circle.
Together with ur frends. Try to visit Angono rizal town fiesta. Higantes festival parade Nov 22 & fiesta nov23. Just be there early morning by 7am nov22 & 23. Transport from bgc very easy. Short cut tru c6 & floodways area 40min to 1hr from market market. Other ways via ortigas center megamall fx van. Cheap hotels available in angono at scrap yard resort, villa jhoana resort & other hotel resort near the town.
Hi Kenn.. Now you're back in Manila, Luzon, have you never thought about going up North of Manila, like Bagio or even up to the island of Batanes..? I can assure you that you will like it up there, specially on the island of Batanes... NOT many foreingers come up there and it's quiert and very very beautiful there..
@@KenAbroad I suggest you make a colab with other vloggers in going to Batanes cause it's a totally different place (like another country), flights are few and quite pricey but totally worth it. Best to go there in summer season cause it's prone to typhoons. Enjoy!
Hi Ken, I can I emphasize with your wanting to take a rest for a few weeks after being tired traveling, I have just completed 2 months of traveling around Europe, I've been staying in different cities for 4 days each time around Europe but I don't get so tired because each morning I do a good meditation and a quick 12 minute yoga routine, every day. I'm just offering this as a recommendation. Great video. 😀
Good for you Ken👌you can relax there and will experience the Christmas season in the Philippines 👍maybe you can visit San Fernando in the province of Pampanga to see the big parol festival 👌
Hi Ken just subscribe and I’ve watch your channel a few times and I never got the chance . So today I was able to do so . I like your blog and i thought it’s interesting to listen to you .
Transpo in manila is cheap only, fx van around 50-100 pesos. Just travel with other passenger. theres many ways to go in tourist spot. Antipolo church & overlooking restaurants nearby. Angono rizal, exotic food in balaw balaw retaurant, Angono petroglips (ancient curving) & thunder bird resort casino on top of the mountain.
Try visit SM megamall, 3flr theres cheap eat all u can buffet Dads restaurant & mid end buffer restaurant Vikings. Visit Antipolo area, theres a fx van in market market near SM aura.
as you just mentioned everything is like a walking distance in mc kinley hill makes me feel confident now as itll be my first time going to venice grand canal mall on sunday for this cosplay parade event or gathering of cosplayers something like that i am worried about how will i commute from there or go home as if any puv or taxi terminal there but upon searching that market market and sm aura is just a distance walk in that area maybe i will be fine 😹 but eeyyy it is impressive that ken knows the concept of shoutout means in the 🇵🇭😹👍✨
You found a nice comfortable flat/condo Ken. Congrats. I hope you can recover from your " Burn Out". I wish you the best, your German friend in Phuket/Thailand. Greets Till
Yap its best to be in BGC. Everythin is there. If ur stayin for 1-2mons, get apartment condo with full furnish. Its cheaper. Just look online to rent. Night life in BGC has always been good. Still u can visit other places in Rizal. Just look it on google or youtube. Take ride tru commuting by fx van, bus, jeepney & ankas motorcycle. Enjoy ur stay.

All in Philippines are the most happiest and kind folks !
If you haven't visited yet, I recommend visiting Chinatown in the city of Manila which is the oldest Chinatown in the world.
Christmas capital is due north... Pampanga is the culinary capital and don't miss the parol festival ( giant Christmas lanterns)...
MITSUKOSHI Japanese Mall BGC is now open. A Blessed Merry Christmas to you, Sir !!! 🎄⛄⭐✨🌲💃🕺🎵🎶

What an interesting vlog Ken. It'll obviously do you good to slow down, take in your surroundings, enjoy time with your friends and rest up before you meet your family in the new year.

Happy for u ken,try to stay even 1year only there please.try to explore bagio and tagaytay im sure u gonna lov that place..
Hala ken
Nice place.
I love it.
And it is so beautiful..
Hi Ken. Good idea to somehow have a good break from going around and slowdown for awhile. Also you can still vlog on your daily routine within your area and we will get to know also how it is to stay in a condo apartment at BGC.

Hi Ken I’m a British citizen and the Philippines is my second home.
I have a home in Makati and spend all my time with my partners family around the area of BGC and I would love you to try out areas around Pateros Pembo especially along C5 road where you’ll experience open markets throughout the day and evening Pateros being especially famous for the making of Balut
Balut is considered as one of the original Filipino exotic food. And when finding the best quality fertilized duck egg, Pateros ranks first, garnering the title of Balut Capital of the Philippines
Balut (/bəˈluːt/ bə-LOOT, /ˈbɑːluːt/ BAH-loot;[1] also spelled as balot) is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in South China and Southeast Asian countries, notably the Philippines, Cambodia (Khmer: ពងទាកូន, paung tea kaun) and Vietnam (Vietnamese: trứng vịt lộn). The term comes from the Filipino language.
BGC are including the fort was originally a army base and over 25 years I’ve seen the growth of BGC
You can meet Juicy Vlog, they've been in the PH for quite some time. I believe they live in the same area as yours.
Try visiting Antipolo there are sites you can visit there, if youve not familiarise yourself with Quezon City try exploring it too like the Quezon Memorial circle.
Try to visit Chinatown/ Manila, good luck and enjoy. Marcelo/Brooklyn NY.
Together with ur frends. Try to visit Angono rizal town fiesta. Higantes festival parade Nov 22 & fiesta nov23. Just be there early morning by 7am nov22 & 23. Transport from bgc very easy. Short cut tru c6 & floodways area 40min to 1hr from market market. Other ways via ortigas center megamall fx van. Cheap hotels available in angono at scrap yard resort, villa jhoana resort & other hotel resort near the town.
Good for you Ken. I hope you have a good time in Manila.
Hi Kenn.. Now you're back in Manila, Luzon, have you never thought about going up North of Manila, like Bagio or even up to the island of Batanes..? I can assure you that you will like it up there, specially on the island of Batanes... NOT many foreingers come up there and it's quiert and very very beautiful there..
It's on my list yeah ✌️😊
@@KenAbroad I suggest you make a colab with other vloggers in going to Batanes cause it's a totally different place (like another country), flights are few and quite pricey but totally worth it. Best to go there in summer season cause it's prone to typhoons.
Enjoy!
Guessing you will continue with your vlogging?? Hopefully you may friend a beautiful local girl. Enjoy your travel break...
Maybe you can meet up with 2 Austrian vloggers also based in BGC... their channels are Making It Happen and Nelly's Life
Enjoy your well deserved break!!
Since u are at bgc.. can u do the new japanese mall.. mitsukoshi mall? They just had soft opening last friday.
Hi Ken, I can I emphasize with your wanting to take a rest for a few weeks after being tired traveling, I have just completed 2 months of traveling around Europe, I've been staying in different cities for 4 days each time around Europe but I don't get so tired because each morning I do a good meditation and a quick 12 minute yoga routine, every day. I'm just offering this as a recommendation. Great video. 😀
Good for you Ken👌you can relax there and will experience the Christmas season in the Philippines 👍maybe you can visit San Fernando in the province of Pampanga to see the big parol festival 👌
Hi Ken just subscribe and I’ve watch your channel a few times and I never got the chance . So today I was able to do so . I like your blog and i thought it’s interesting to listen to you .
Try to Visit Eastwood City or Filinvest City in Muntinlupa
Transpo in manila is cheap only, fx van around 50-100 pesos. Just travel with other passenger. theres many ways to go in tourist spot. Antipolo church & overlooking restaurants nearby. Angono rizal, exotic food in balaw balaw retaurant, Angono petroglips (ancient curving) & thunder bird resort casino on top of the mountain.
I was just there! Love your videos ken, very comfortable to watch
Try visit SM megamall, 3flr theres cheap eat all u can buffet Dads restaurant & mid end buffer restaurant Vikings. Visit Antipolo area, theres a fx van in market market near SM aura.

Still u can visit other places in Rizal. Just look it on google or youtube. Take ride tru commuting by fx van, bus, jeepney & ankas motorcycle. Enjoy ur stay.
