Those slums that you saw on the opposite side of BGC will be relocated to certain places where they can live nicely. The people who live there on the slums area where illegal settlers and the local government is just waiting for the right time for these people to be transported to a place where they can live.

@@SimsimsamTravels These people have been informed for a long time that they illegally settled on a place owned by the government. The idea of forcing them is the last resort when they refused to vacate the place accordingly and lawfully.

In the summer, BGC is the hottest place (not figuratively but literally) to be in. Better off doing videos in the areas of Tagaytay or Rizal or if your time and budget allows, Baguio. BGC temperature is pretty hot all the time even when it's not summer.

There he got some "food from home" and a "Hefeweizen" :D. I always love the atmosphere at the weekend markets in the evening. It looks so charming and peaceful. I wish I could be there too, just to calm down and relax a bit. Anyway, thank you very much for another great video that has brought me many smiles and good feelings. I hope you stay safe and enjoy your trip. See you in the next video. ❤

I forgot to ask you was it traffic on that weekend when was time for you to get back on your place? Did you take grab and how long it took to get back ?
I know Germans are very proud of their beer but how about your food? Is that something you take pride of too? I'm Filipino. I've eaten German food twice. First one was in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Bergblick restaurant. Claims to be authentic but since it's in the province, the prices were really friendly and so may have played a part why I didn't enjoy it that much. Second time was at Brotzeit Alabang but we had it to go and ate it at home. I got taste their Pretzels too. Both occasions, I found the food a bit bland and too simple for my lacking. My observation is, Germans seem to want chicken or pork or fish to still taste like what they are. Very simple cooking. Not too many flavor enhancements. Even the gravy I found a bit lacking in taste. Am I correct with my assessments?

Hard to tell as I grew up with a very international cuisine. I also happen to like pretty much everything. I wouldn't make my assumption by a couple of german foods that you had in the Philippines 😄 I'm sure an Adobo place ran by Germans in Germany wouldn't be the real deal either. Also german foods are usually eaten homecooked, we usually have snacks, streetfood or international cuisine when we dine out. But I don't want to speak for the majority here 😁
That's nothing! Today it's 110 in Miami

Maybe in the sun, in the shade you've got 32 degrees (90 Fahrenheit). It's definitely hotter here + the humidity makes it extreme. People working outside especially physically are really suffering. Also it's not a competition 😄
