Wishing a belated happy birthday to Sam! We are currently planning an Asia trip for spring 2024 and this vlog has given lots of ideas for our Tokyo stop. We have stops pinned in Bangkok from previous channel vids (crab rice and train night market!). We need tips for Cebu and Bohol. Love the channel, you guys are the best.

Thank you very much for the greeting 💖 How exciting! Spring is the perfect time to travel around Asia, although it starts to get humid in SEA around April. In Cebu our favorite lechon is Tatang's. Pig and Palm, Tavolata and Abaca Group's restaurants were all good last time we visited. If you have time, the beaches like Moalboal are beautiful too. Haven't been to Bohol in a while, but we enjoyed quaint tourist spots like the Bee Farm and visiting the tarsiers. 😊 Hope you have a wonderful trip next year 🤍

I usually just ask for a film hand check with all the film unboxed in a ziplock. Japan's really efficient and will alllow it so no worries. No lead bag because they will flag it and ask questions. Countries in the Middle East dont understand film hand check though just to let you know. I had to wait. But most Asian countries are all good! Enjoy your trip
