I FELT OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE Apartment search less than $100/month
#philippines #angelescity #travel
Anne and I go on a hunt for an inexpensive apartment in Angeles City for her brother who plans to move here for a job, some areas we look at are run down and overcrowded (I feel) but the residents there are right at home. I don't get a chance to visit areas like in this video and it made me feel uncomfortable at times walking through some of these tight mysterious corridors but we survived, good thing I had Anne and friend with for some of it.
Come take a look at a different side of life here in the Philippines...

The last one was by far the best for 3k. Hope u got it! U seemed traumatised chubs 😀. It makes you grateful for what you have when you see places like that but I think for your average filipino that kinda place is fine. Good luck to anns brother

so true, very common for Filipinos 👍 i sing and repeat a lot when uncomfortable and there was a lot of that in this vid 😳😬 yes we locked in the last one for 2 months 👍
Hey, these areas looked very clean and tidy. They dont all look this good. As for the room search. This may have been one where Anne needed to be the one filming, and you needed to stay away. Your being there as a walking ATM, will seriously impact her bargaining and negotiating power on the price.

The adage of " you get what you pay for " definitely applies to those rooms shown. I'm sure there's some out there who can't even afford those rooms so let's not judge and just appreciate what we have atm.

The only problem with going with a filipina to negotiate prices is that the price goes up if you are a westerner.
I've had nightmares of being kidnapped... and the accommodation was better than that! 🤣
Let me know chubs if your looking for apartments, it's located in valley Flores and it's gated...
Hi Chubbs & Anne. Very interesting Great efforts for the brother and also getting this to us. I was feeling uneasy just watching you make your way through the maze-like streets in what looks like squatterville Would be much worse at night as looks like no light poles? Wishing annes bro the best of luck.

This is the Philippines I love to explore as the province is where you meet and see the real Philippines. Plus, it's not as scary as the first impression gives you as you are treated very well by the locals. To me, it's the reason I go to the Philippines to be out of my comfort zone as the big cities are to westernised for my liking.

Hello, watching this I can see how you feel out of place sometimes, and I wonder how much of that is the language. I was there when the base was still there, my friends and I came up with a way to talk that bothered our wives/girfriends. Speak in pig latin or english really really fast. You'll be surprised at how little they'll pick up what you say.
