I have been binge watching your vlogs in the Philippines since the past week. I live a few steps away from where you were standing at 9:01 in the vid. 😄 On the side you would have saw Leona's Bakeshop which sells very delicious cales and pastries and on the other side of the road is Alberto's pizza where average locals parade over when craving for pizza. Give them a go if ever you are in the area again to better indulge in the local life. Cheers guys! Safe travels!
I've been watching your Philippine videos and I really hope you get a lot of subs while staying here. Enjoy your stay!!! Keep an open mind, and stay safe!!!
There are no separate price for goods or services in Cebu for locals and foreigners. Scooter rental rates are standard regardless if you're a local or foreigner.
@@project_where The rental rate is daily, not monthly. You can ask for any discount for sure if you rent the scooter for one month. Daily rental could range as low as P300 to P400 depending on the model or brand or rental shop. For Cebu rental rate, daily means 24 hours. In other places or provinces, their rental scheme is usually called 'daily' but actually you only have 8 hours to use. Any longer than that would mean additional amount.
Do visit the Sugbo Mercado in I.T. Park. If you're interested in seeing a breathtaking view of Cebu from the mountaintops, try the La Vie in the Sky. A few minutes away is the Temple of Leah, a Greek-inspired temple. I hope you'll have a memorable experience here in Cebu City.
Justin you must love Alina a lot because you treat her like a "Baby" Justin you are such a gentleman and a Scholar! I wish I was rich like you just traveling all over the World without worry about money or financial difficulties.. May I know what kind of job you did in Hong Kong or Australia besides being a vlogger on youtube??? Just curious...What month is your Birthday Justin, I know Alina is in April, because I saw that on your TH-cam Channel my Birhday is on April too.
But Landers Superstore has stores in Metro Manila as well. You could use your card to shop in any Landers store in either Manila or Cebu. Landers Superstores is Cebu homegrown membership store whose parent company also owns the country's largest socialized housing property developer, DECA Homes. They also own Kuya J chain of stores and Cebu Grand Convention Center, Isla Sugbo Seafood Buffet, Majestic Restaurant, among others.
You can rent a motorcycle in ZG motorbikes rental when in Cebu City…so you can easily Go to the Beautiful Mountain places like templo of leah, eat in chickboy which is just near templo of leah , lavie parisienne near tops mountains and sirao gardens
The large green bananas you first saw are the Saba variety used for cooking. Typically need for it to go ripe yellow so it is sweet. You can buy it as street food fried in brown sugar, or inside rice flour wrapper banana fritters also fried with brown sugar.
Go to beaches and eat Cebu lechon with puso and dugodugo and cebu streetfood punko punko sa fuente, chinese ngohiong, sugbo mercado , carbon night market, tuslob buwa
The reason why the usual or traditional jeepneys that is common in Manila and other areas in the Philippines are almost absent in Cebu is because Cebu has already started its modernization program for its public transport, albeit in a minor way. The traditional jeepneys are going to be completely phased out in 2-3 years time. That's why you can see modern mini buses now plying the streets of Cebu. They're all airconditioned and more convenient for passengers. Soon, fare will be totally cashless as soon as all traditional jeepneys are phased out. There are also inter-city routes both for minibus and regular buses.
There are regular inspections of motorcycles in Cebu, I'm not sure if foreign license is valid, motorcycle laws generally loosely implemented in the provinces. Better use grab.
I missed Cebu. I lives there for 7 years way back in the late 70s and 80s. San Miguel has the biggest factory with a huge San Mig Beer bottle of top of the factory not sure if it's still there and Mactan Bridge was the only bridge. I learned a lot while living in Cebu. Especially Freediving and Clam Harvesting. Take Care and ENJOY CEBU. By they way they're very religious check out Santo Nino Cathedral.
Theres a do it your self laundry shop inside Ayala Center , you can load it then Go around the mall while waiting for it to dry ..its located on the basement in the parking area
Although it has some tourist sites, don't stay too long in Cebu City. Get out and see the sardines at Moalboal, whale sharks at Oslob, and do the water canyoneering at Badian.
Don't get too caught up on tourists spots in Cebu City, the best part are the provincial side & highlands. There you'll find the best people. Excited about the canyoneering videos tho, it's just a fun experience. Cebu has a lot of picturesque waterfalls. For beaches check out Lambug Beach / Tingko Beach / Bantayan Island. Edit : 800 AUD is $532 USD. That's a good monthly rent for US standard. You can definitely find better places in Cebu if you look. But if it's good enough for you, that's a decent price.
We tried looking everywhere actually, bookings.com and airbnb but unfortunately for a month this is the price we had to pay for getting an apartment sth like this…
Always much cheaper shopping in a local market and always negotiate.Makes shopping fun.No fixed rules on vlogging in public but dependent on individual establishment.Php 2000. ~30US$. Definitely get a motorbike. A whole lot cheaper! Definitely cheaper buying in a local market .
Hope you will stay and will experience Sinulog in January.. A big Festival in the whole Cebu. You will enjoy it am pretty sure.. Visit IT Park as well, The business district in Cebu.
Yes I saw that coffins when I went to Australia and lived there for 3 months, my childhood friend is a member. Im shookt to see the coffins in Costco Australia.
@@project_where it's the exit??? It was 2018 when I last came to Sydney haha so my memory only shows me the coffins and I thought its the entrance lols... SNR and Landers is what I only remember subconsciously haha
The cheaper veggies/fruits are usually the ones directly from farmers being sold by them and we have here.(provincial part 1hr away from city) Less than 30minutes away. As for poultry/meat, the wet market too with your friendly negotiated prices.
Find a cheap place that makes business cards filled with your social media info, and hand them out. That would help grow your channel. I think many people loves seeing themselves in your vlogs. Especially Filipinos. Everytime they ask about your channel. Boom, hand them out.😉
Oh I think the "no vlogging with go pro" is because of the stick and any type of selfie sticks or any stick with camera/phone is not allowed at least in outside. When selfie sticks used to be huge back in the day, it inadvertently killed many many people and injured many. I saw a video about it so I'm probably not explaining it properly.
You might want to try the country's largest zoological and botanical park, the Cebu Safari and Adventure Park, which is located about 40 kilometers up north, specifically in the town of Carmen. There, you can find exotic animals from all over the world roaming around large open spaces in lush tropical jungle including Africa's safari denizens such as gazelles, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, kudus, oryx, zebras, hyenas, etc. You can even walk among South America's llamas, rheas, capybaras and take photos with them at close range. You may also go safari with white lions who feel at home in their adopted tropical environment. The safari is very huge but there are trams which runs constantly throughout the 160 hectares of lush tropical park. The park also includes a resort that sits atop a high plateau overlooking the park itself with two types of accommodations: log cabins and glamping. Its infinity pool offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountains and beyond. They also have adventure rides such as ATVs, giant swing, sky bike, country's highest zip line (more than 900 meters ASL) at 1.5 kilometers long, and cave exploration guided tour. The cave is regarded as among the biggest in Cebu. The park also has orchid garden and the owner's own collection of exotic plants set in their own area called Garden of the World. The park has 4 dining spots scattered all over.
@@project_where The safari park is relatively new, just opened to the public in 2018. It's huge and the layout is very similar to San Diego Zoo in California or Taipei Zoo in Taiwan as the animals are allowed to roam around in open big spaces as if they're in their natural habitat. The white tigers and the Bengal tigers, for example, have more than 1 hectare of space all to their own so they have enough space to play around. The white lions I think has over 10 hectares of den. The African Safari where ungulates can be seen thru a safari tour has over 10 hectares of grazing area as well. The giraffes also very large area they call their own. You will love it there because the place is very green and lush with tall trees and vegetation in their natural habitat.
i'm not sure why somebody stopped you from using your pro cam to shoot when you're allowed to use your cp instead...just don't know the logic there...also i'm not aware of a law that forbid to use pro cam in public places especially in cebu...i also watched other foreign vloggers but i think they never encountered rudely any problem using their cam in cebu streets...
the reason why foreign vloggers get so much views & subs in the PH is coz filipinos are very curious about what foreigners think about the PH esp. the food, culture, etc so always give your real & honest opinion/commentary & not what viewers want to hear.
most suggestions hv been done by hundreds of vloggers who came b4 u so just do whatever you really came here to do and film it. am sure u've dn more than enough research for a month's stay. surprise us!
To be honest, I worked part time when I studied in university. Alina was a model in Korea. We both saved up a lot to take a leap of faith to travel full time & continue to earn money as we go:)
Maybe you guys might like to see the vlogs of travelescapesOFFICIAL? He has a Cebu one for your reference. :)) I'll add some more names if you guys might want that?
You should check out what you get for that price in HongKong / New York / LA. $500 a month for a room that big is definitely not horrendous in comparison. But I'm sure Cebu has better apartments.
welcome and enjoy , check out the mountains of cebu city , so many lovely places with stunning views!!

That's a good idea. Live with locals, eat with locals. Making friends with locals is the quickest way to know the culture.
That’s our goal coming to the Philippines!
There are no separate price for goods or services in Cebu for locals and foreigners. Scooter rental rates are standard regardless if you're a local or foreigner.
I see. How much roughly for a month?

Yes! You can buy the Turon in any SM malls/grocery store.

We are thinking to extend our stay here in the Philippines too, so we might be able to see it :)
You should go to Moalboal. There's a place there where you can rent a motorbike for 500 pesos a day i think. So you can travel around easier
Great! Will look into it, thanks!

fruits and vegetables were cheaper and fresher if you buy it in smaller, along the road stalls. that is if you know how to spot fresh vegetables.
Thank you, we have been trying to find local stalls to buy fruits and veggies, but there’s not a lot around our area unfortunately…

@@project_where Try asking the locals or your landlord where the market was or where they usually buy vegetables and fruits.
Consider yourselves fortunate. Metro prices are far more affordable than Marketplace. Good thing you transferred.
Yes! We noticed, luckily pesos are very similar to russian money so Alina was able to spot the premium difference immediately.
Find a cheap place that makes business cards filled with your social media info, and hand them out.

you can take fast ferry to Dakak
maybe next time
Try local carenderia food, I recommend adobo, sisig, pancit. Also try cebu lechon.
We have plans to try Lechon and adobo this week :) can’t wait
If u'r staying near IT park, u can shop at Ayala Mall, guys....👍
Yes we were there yesterday, such a nice spot with many cuisines :)
Most jeepneys were replaced by beeps (Bus Jeeps)
i'm not sure why somebody stopped you from using your pro cam to shoot when you're allowed to use your cp instead...just don't know the logic there...also i'm not aware of a law that forbid to use pro cam in public places especially in cebu...i also watched other foreign vloggers but i think they never encountered rudely any problem using their cam in cebu streets...

Yes, really strange. I was told because of the “selfie stick”.
What a sweet couple! $50 for a week by Western standard is pretty decent especially when you selected good brands like Barila. Enjoy Cebu!!!
Thanks! We try to save wherever we can too.
Have fun in the phillipines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thanks Frankie ❤️ Philippines have been amazing
I hope your next destination is Baguio
Next time if you're shopping for groceries try to buy some Dried Mangoes. Believe me it's the real deal! 👍
Any preference for brands?
@@project_where NO, any brand is fine.
nice...
Do the kawasan canyoneering, go to carcar city an eat roast pig lechon
Thanks for recommendations!
In the Philippines, Food Panda's service is excellent.
kawasan falls for gatorade blue waters
might be heading there next week!
welcome to cebu!
metro supermarket is the best place to do grocery where you're staying (am guessing mabolo area?) next would be sm city nearby.
the reason why foreign vloggers get so much views & subs in the PH is coz filipinos are very curious about what foreigners think about the PH esp. the food, culture, etc so always give your real & honest opinion/commentary & not what viewers want to hear.
filipinos are also curious about other cultures so any comment/comparison with aussie/HK/russian culture would be appreciated
i suggest you search & watch "8 days in the phils in 8 mins" and "wake up in the phils" on youtube for a general idea about the PH.
most suggestions hv been done by hundreds of vloggers who came b4 u so just do whatever you really came here to do and film it. am sure u've dn more than enough research for a month's stay. surprise us!
Damn, I barely had any issue with food panda too, I'm sorry they have been an issue for ya'll. Maybe try Grab?
Yeah! I think we will switch to using Grab more
i am wondering where you get your money to travel. i like the way you travel . you are not afraid. yes. be safe

Curious. How much is your monthly rent?
It’s quite a bit my friend 800 AUD currently, was hoping to find sth cheaper with similar room
Wow
TUMBS UP
THANK YOU 🔥
Try Oslob Cebu
Will do! Whale shark watching is high up on our list :)
Maybe you guys might like to see the vlogs of travelescapesOFFICIAL? He has a Cebu one for your reference. :)) I'll add some more names if you guys might want that?
Yes please!
Here: Go With Ali, Dany #gotaworldtosee & Filipino Boo. ^^
That’s horrendously expensive for an apartment! Yikes!
You should check out what you get for that price in HongKong / New York / LA.
$500 a month for a room that big is definitely not horrendous in comparison. But I'm sure Cebu has better apartments.
That’s the best we could find for a month for sth similar like this unfortunately. We looked everywhere on airbnb and bookings.com!
Have u guys tried agoda? It seems cheap but check until the final booking stage since the site does't include taxes & fees.
I think Go pro is more expensive to get stolen than cellphone so the reason they are not allowed hehhe. Safety first
I see. Thanks!
Try lechon
It is our top priority
i've been in Cebu 2000
Amazing!
I'm from Cebu but I dont know why youre not allowed to film.🤔🤔🤔
Not interesting city
Rent a bike
Where can we rent one? 🙏
Since you’ll be staying there for a month try to go to bohol as well it’s outside cebu and a famous destination as well
We’re thinking to go there for couple days!

Cebu: camotes and bantayan island
Thanks! We have plans to visit there soon!
