    I think that old European style of architecture is calming because it reminds one of a time that was neither too simple or complicated. Sorta what you need, maybe a little extra that you want, but not too showy or excessive. Kinda practical.

    Thanks for yet another interesting episode - the „Swiss“ style buildings remind me more of Disney World, but it still looks like a pleasant enough area; Lausanne (pronounced „lo-sun“ in English) is a city in the south-west - French-speaking - part of Switzerland. Looks like you could enjoy and celebrate your grandfather‘s birthday in style!

    I was in Tagaytay 3 weeks ago. Stayed as Escala. I really liked the area and the climate. Lake/volcano views are beautiful. However it’s really spread out so you need a car or take trike to get anywhere. I thought Crosswinds was a bit of a disappointment compared to Swiss themed places in the US and Switzerland. Crowded and just ok. I loved Antonio’s for dinner. One of the best meals I’ve had in the Philippines !

    • @TheSavvyExpat

    Hey, good to bump into you at Highlands inside Shangri-la!
    After the bubble of BGC’s concrete jungle, we are headed to Tagaytay for a good part of our stay, albeit brief.
    Your vlog succinctly summarizes what to expect!
    As you, too would know, there really is no novelty if one has resided in a city and suburbs. Ultimately, setting roots would be where there are commonplace amenities, including safety and proximity to reasonable transportation.
    Cheers!

    ahh...Back at Twin Lakes, Tagaytay. It's nice to see that you can find a cool area in PI other than Baguio! A very very nice area Evan. Great Video!
    I do have one question: How is the nightlife in Tagaytay? It looks like an upscale mountain area, so I'm not expecting a major bar scene, but I've been to a lot of mountain ski resorts which do have nightlife.

    • @TheSavvyExpat
      @TheSavvyExpat  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good to be back! The Nightlife scene in tagaytay isn't prevalent. It's quite calm at night and there aren't many bars unless you're staying at a hotel.

    I haven't been down to the Twin Lakes Hotel but the view from the top at Bag Of Beans was a really nice view of the entire area. One of these days when I'm in the Philippines I will go to Crosswinds especially when it's only a short ride from Silang. I don't know if you had a chance to go to People's Park In The Sky but if not you should go there. I love where we live because we have a great view of the side where everyone drives up to People's Park and we're only about a 15 minute drive from Tagaytay. Our house is about 19km (12 miles) north of the main crater of Taal so we are a little outside of the danger zones. I did get to see the Taal eruption of January 12, 2020 and our house got covered with volcanic ash but I am happy to have a house there. Getting to go to Tagaytay all of the time is fun and it never gets old to me except for the traffic at times. I prefer the province life over the city life but going to Manila is also fun to do with many attractions to see and it's only about an hour drive.

    • @TheSavvyExpat
      @TheSavvyExpat  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Right on Steven! The location of your place is perfect to experience all of the attractions of the Philippines. City life in Manila is nearby, Tagaytay's attractions only 15 min away, and beaches in Batangas is a couple hours away.b

    I like Baguio City but I think that Tagaytay is worth checking out from this video as a possible place to build a home. I am trying to get close to the weather that we have here in Colorado plus I am in love with mountains etc. Also avoid the traffic and crowds in Manila.

    I travel alot and been to Tagaytay many times..Yes it's very different for the Philippines blessed with cooler weather..a relief from Manila NCR heat...However when I compared accommodation prices with when I was in Switzerland it's noticeably more expensive here and definitely not Europe..but still beautiful in its own ways.

    • @-BigIi-
      @-BigIi- ปีที่แล้ว +2

      that says so much.. that it's Tagaytay, it's not Europe, not the West, yet it can be so expensive, at times even more expensive than Norway! I find many accommodations in the Philippines are way more expensive than the West, and those for sale can often be said to be ''taking the biscuit'' - if you get my drift.

    • @TheSavvyExpat
      @TheSavvyExpat  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yup, Tagaytay can be overpriced for what it's worth. I think it's because it's one of the few places that offer a different experience than the rest of the Philippines so business owners take advantage of that. I recommend you check out Tanay, Rizal for even colder whether and cheaper prices.
