WELCOME TO BICOL! 🇵🇭 First Day In NAGA CITY
Welcome to Naga City! We made it to the rarely visited Bicol region of the Philippines 🇵🇭
This video is pretty much our first Impressions of Naga City - a place that people told us not to visit with nothing to do.
We had some local Filipino breakfast before heading to Naga City center where we checked out the beautiful Naga cathedral and wandered the small town streets. We had some classic Filipino Street foods and met loads of proper nice locals.
We then got a tricycle back to our local area where we grabbed a halo halo for only 20 pesos!
In the evening we got a tricycle back to Naga City center to check out a night market, there wasn't much going on but we discovered The Philippines greatest used clothes market.
We rounded the day off with some super cheap street food.
On first Impressions Naga City is a really nice place, super chilled out, tasty food, loads of friendly people everywhere. Excited for the next few weeks exploring the Bicol region of The Philippines 🇵🇭
Please 'LIKE' the video and 'SUBSCRIBE' if you enjoyed watching. It really does help my channel.

You guys are awesome. Love your attitude and outlook whilst travelling. Totally unpretentious, genuine and the best part is, you see food you want to try, you just go for it without any drama. As we say in the Philippines, "hindi maarte" (hindi mah-ar-teh) meaning not overdramatic. Cheers and have fun and you will find so many amazing places that will totally be your vibe. The countryside is just so beautiful and the people are equally nice and genuine. Happy trails. Oh and I think it would be great if you guys can attend the local festivals or Fiestas that happen. So much fun and each has its own charm, adventure and awesome sauce-ness.....yeah amde up that word lol And yes!!!!!! Call out people not throwing their trash in the bins. Totally right you are. Just pure laziness. Yes, there are street cleaners but it ain't all that hard to put your damn garbage in the bins.

Wow, how awesome that you went to Bicol. Have always wanted to go but haven't had the chance yet. Did you go there for the Mayon Volcano eruption? Mayon Volcano is actually Guinness World Records' Most Conical Volcano in the World. You can also go to Caramoan Islands where they shot one season of the Survivor series. Or go to Donsol, Sorsogon where you can swim with whalesharks. For food, try Bicol Express and Laing. They're the most popular Bicol dishes. :)

Man, You've captured the vibe of everywhere but Manila exactly. I literally live in Cavite province and we've got a family ancestral home in the rural south of the country. The moment you leave Manila things are just way more chill and clear weather wise. Manila is similar to a developing-world version of London or New York (where I was born. I'm from a normal area not anywhere near where the toffs live 😂). People in Metro Manila are a bit colder, rushed, stressed generally meh.. Granted Cavite is near enough Manila whereby people are similar to those in Manila, but rural Cebu and the rest of the south (Visayas and Mindanao), especially rural areas, is just! 👍 💯 It's like the difference between the South and North back home, but reversed geographically. The South here (anywhere south of Metro Manila, and the Calabarzon area) is socially warmer, kinder, more genuine, chilled mentality. The North, is the opposite haha. If anything, life outside of Metro Manila and its surrounding areas is Classic Philippines. Proper island mentality. Hope you were able to make it to rural Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Camiguin, Siargao and Mindanao. You'd get much more of the same vibes. Mindanao has way spicier food if you'd like curries, stuff like piaparan and Piyanggang are 🌶️ should be safe to travel to now. Looking forward to more of your updates! 👍 More power to your channel :)
