I went to the Philippines and had to find my condo, this is what happened... Recorded on August 1st, 2024 at Eastwood Mall in Quezon City. nojroom tiktok.com/@nojroom nojroom twitch.com/nojroom #doordash #delivery
That's not a hotel bro! that's a condo, it has nothing to do with the building staff.. the only one u can blame was the person who owned that condo unit, and i know ur wondering why those building staffs was not familiar with the door lock or anything inside the room.. probably each owner customized most of the stuff in their units..
@@gregmasters8558 If you live in the US, and your phone is connected to theirs, you have to get it unlocked first so that you can use it with other service providers when you're outside of the country
1800 and 1880 Is bldg for BPO there is no condo unit inside 1800 and 1880. The host did you dirty. The bldg was Legrand not 1880/1800. Good thing you found the Airbnb.
A lesson in traveling. I’m a planner and ask questions a lot prior to, this is why. You can’t just expect things to always be easy, especially if you’re going to another country.
Keep in mind the PH operates on "island time". That's a term used to describe Hawaii and Fiji but it applies to the PH too. It means things move slower. You might hear "out of stock sir" or experience "slow" service just keep in mind life doesn't move fast like in the US. You seem pretty chill so you'll probably adapt quickly. - WW
Bro get a Globe or Smart SIM card and have them load you the data, it’s super cheap here like 1000 php or 18 usd per month for unlimited 5g and 4g in those areas
Bro loved your video sharing your experience here in the Philippines. The way you handled the situation was first class! Props to your patience and hope that Everything went uphill from there, and you enjoyed your stay!
YT recommended your channel. So impressed with your resilience and problem-solving. I kept talking to the screen, don't give up. So glad you were able to get into your place. ❤
If you are booking a condo unit in ph you have to ask the owner or the contact person where you booked it, the guards cant help you with that, the receptionist can try but they need to verify to the admin and owner first so it can take a while before you can get in, also buy a sim card for travelers so you can have data it's cheap there anyway and has decent signal especially in manila area they have 5G
I recommend telesin neck mount for GoPro or phone. It's not as forward as head mount so most ppl don't notice it n it's not as omg I'm being recorded plus keeps your hands free with give a good view. Welcome to the Philippines. If your still in town and want to meet up, I'm down to help you get situated with your area n how things run in PH Small tip if your phone has dual sim cards try n get two different networks because some areas or cities don't always have enough signal if it's in your budget and if you plan to travel alot
Hahahaha this must have been frustrating as hell. When I travel I'm usually in active communication with people who pick me up from the airport and that fixes many many many many issues.
It happened to me in Singapore. It’s not the fault of the people there. It’s pre cellphone time. I wrote the address several times in notepads and notebooks. But the thing is I change bags and did not transfer the notepads and notebooks. I was in a condo complex like that , walk around several times. Checking each bldg. trying to remeber the phone number of my brother. I think it took me 2-3 hours before we found each other at the elevator of his bldg. pissed off.. lol next travel i made sure i wrote everything again and place it together with my passport.
You should've bought a SIM card at the Airport or 7/11. So you have data connection or can call/text the host as ASAP. The Door Key lock intruction should be sent to you by the Host.Prior to your arrival. It is not safe to put that outside the door as you said in this video. Anyway congratulation you made it!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to our hot (temperature) country😅
Man this was tough to watch. The host did you so so dirty, giving you an inaccurate address and being so neglectful. I can't believe you were even saying this at 41:02 when if this happened to me, I'll definitely crash out.
I was literally trying to find you're channel cause I keep forgetting what you're yt name is and then you posted I'm so lucky rn love you're content sm
When I go abroad, one of my main priority is internet.. Money,internet, batteries! Did you just gave away your location and the code of your door? Hahaha😅
What a mess. This is why I never book places with random sites. I choose places where I have direct communication, including the booking and payment, with the actual owners/hosts. You handled it well towards the end though. Glad it worked out in the end.
that whole wandering around looking for your room just for you weren't able to even enter the room was super frustrating to watch lol please do more of these videos, enjoy your trip!
Is bro doing okay here in the Philippines? He hasn’t uploaded anything on here for a few days now. Tho I’m guessing he’s more active on tiktok or instagram, probably
Your reels randomly popped up on my fb page. I needed to check if you got in your airbnb after all the hassle so I came here. Haha What a coincidence I stayed in that same airbnb early this year with my friends. Lol I can confirm the smell though we had a good stay. 👀
Enjoy the stay bro in the Philippines if you still don't have a sim you must buy a sim in the philippines so you can have you own mobile data you can visit at the back of eastwood and you can try some street foods here at the back of eastwood the name of the place is bagumbayan
Damn, your patience is something. I would've swearing big time if that was me. Filipinos don't like walking under the sun. I'd give that air bnb a fail if I were you. Even a local would go crazy finding that place.. Always buy your stuff at supermarkets. Convenience stores like 7-11, Watson, Uncle John and the likes are more expensive.
Dude please make more videos cuz this is really entertaining and interesting as a filipino, you’re really entertaining and i just want to see more of your reactions to things. (Also bro did NOT have to rizz up that keypad😭🙏)
What was the agency you used to book the condo? I have family back there that want to list their condo when they aren't there. Actually, scratch that. This app and everything associated with it, is so sketch. Sorry you had to go through all that. What a mess. Typical though. So unorganized.
I've only been to Eastwood a couple of times, so I don't know the names and numberings of the buildings; but man!, even the security guards don't know their stuff.
Did you watch the video? The address that the host gave him is wrong/incomplete. Did you expect those security guards to magically know where your exact place from an incomplete address?
@chaoticheaven17 I understand that the guards were not helpful. Even when he's already in right building, he was being told to go elsewhere. My comment was my observation of the people he's asked directions for. I know what it's like to be lost in a foreign country with langauge barrier. And when you're tired, and hungry, and the people who could've helped you are getting you even more lost, the frustation level gets high fast. Goodbye Mr. Security Guard.
@@norzki You missed the part where nowhere in the address given states the actual name of the condo building. Only the avenue where it's at and the room no.. It's like expecting people to know ur age after only stating ur name and address. Are u OK?
You poor thing. It's unfortunate that B&B owners have some kind of mistaken idea that THEY are renting to you, therefore you owe them or something. What they don't realise is that without travellers, their fancy pads are just empty boxes. That owner should have been pro-active in keeping updated with you. Those are very entitled people. You should have just gone to a cheap hotel til you could book a more giving host. Good luck on your stay.

Did you not watch the whole video lol
This was a very annoying video.
The first thing you do landing at any Asian airport is locating the store that sells tourist Sim cards with unlimited data
Do you have to register with tourist sims?
yes w your passport @@gregmasters8558
@@gregmasters8558 If you live in the US, and your phone is connected to theirs, you have to get it unlocked first so that you can use it with other service providers when you're outside of the country
@@gregmasters8558yes, u gotta register with ur passport or SSN, and make a xc to match ur phone and then enjoy
@@gregmasters8558all needed info is done at the vendor. In fact, they’ll basically do it for you.
so glad the host pulled thru, ur patience is unmatched brother

This is so True. Not everyone is your mama to make things easy for you. So its better to be an adult and plan things out.
@@3671568 doesnt excuse other peoples incompetence. That unit owner is an idiot
Yes, this is poor planning
Good thing you are in shape. I would've given up a long time ago. Glad you finally found it.
Please write a negative and honest feedback on the host
I can't, 😂
this aint America my boy, grow a PAIR
A tip when traveling.
1) Get some data.
2) Get the exact address of your destination.

Nonsense the country just has an average iq of 85 lol

Bro get a Globe or Smart SIM card and have them load you the data, it’s super cheap here like 1000 php or 18 usd per month for unlimited 5g and 4g in those areas
And if your phone is locked, the sim works for pocket wifi.

men youre a talker, no dead air for an hour hahaha
Pretty sure that's what a vlog is ? 🤦♂️
It’s a bit much though
Man the owner should have been more active and easy to contact if that happened to me I would find another place to stay at
Good thing you're persistent and have a sunny disposition. Cheers!
You didn’t bought lotion, you actually bought deodorant

The problem with this random websites is that they host a condo or room and they wont contact you back when you need to access on it
Everyone looks so respectful there

31:35 daaaaamn. That could feed two to three people. Impressive.
In pretty sure can download certain sections on google maps so you can always access that specific area when you don’t have connection
Love the vlog bro, so excited for more adventure in the Philippines

It's only airbnb in the states that have so much cameras. In Asia it's still more normal to use airbnb.
you're probably okay but be careful connecting to open wifi
yeah maybe someone will see our emails or data banks right?
I recommend using a taxi,grab,angkas, or joyride they will take you straight to your destination
He doesn’t even have an internet bro
@@Kittenfunny my bad
Then he should get one 😂

I know that place the name of it is EastWood
Why wont you just get a sim card?
So you arrived here last August 1? I doubt you're still here.
😂please please send the host this video. Please
its a bad idea to have that instructions outside then everyone knows how to get in?
What are those thick noodles called?
