Adventure In Dumaguete & Bais City Philippines 🇵🇭

Welcome to "That Philippines Life" - The LONGEST DAY Dumaguete & Bias City Philippines. I finally woke up early to check out the hot spots in Dumaguete for expats, found where everyone was hanging out and got to talk to some guys who have been living in the city. Also travelled with Alex to Bias City where they have the Dolphin watching. The trip home was very long with 6 hours of bus, taxi to Roro Boat then to taxi and I was so exhausted but had a great time too!

    Nice job on the videos in Dumaguete. I travelled a lot by bus when I got here and it was not so bad I just made sure if they stopped for their break I didn't go too far and get left behind lol. The bar where you saw the Harley is were I hang out with a couple of friends 2 or 3 times a week. When I first moved to Dumaguete and lived in a hotel for 2 weeks I was there almost every day after walking on the boulevard and often ate at Casa Blanca. I like it here as it is not too big and not too small. It is actually smaller than Kitchener were I lived before moving here. Hope you enjoyed your stay here

    Michael, Another awesome video! You can reduce your upload time if you record and 5.3K or 4K @24 fps or if need be 30 fps, to reduce upload times. There is no reason to record at a higher frame rate unless you are recording action or you want slow mo clips. The Gopro will do better with less shutting down from overheating at 4K or 5.3K at 24 fps. If your just walking around shooting, your typical content, this is the my preferred settings 5.3K @24fps. BTW...I'll be there soon and will try to contact you. Take care my brother!

    I looked it up In the United States and Canada, the Hells Angels are incorporated as the Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation. Common nicknames for the club are the "H.A.", "Red & White", "HAMC", and "81". With a membership of over 6,000, and 467 chapters in 59 countries, the HAMC is the largest "outlaw" motorcycle club in the world.

    I don't think that's Talisay. Talisay is way up north. I think that's the most southern tip of Cebu island, Santander area. You will notice that the length is shorter that's because you are looking at the tip of the island.
