We've NEVER Seen This Side of Manila (Tourists Won't Go Here!)

when talking about capital cities of the world people in the past have told us including our Filipino friends that Manila does not have the looks compared to the impressive skyline of Singapore the glitzy lights of London and the iconic skyscrapers of Hong Kong but we've just seen something on our current Philippines trip that shows that Manila can be absolutely beautiful how do I open it like this you hold that one only likes it without the green on good morning guys welcome back to a brand new video we are currently on the 31st floor having some breakfast and we're going to show you the view in a second the views here are crazy we can just see so much and we're going to give you a full look in a second we're going to head to the outside part of the restaurant because I don't think I've ever had a better view of Alabang it's crazy or like the whole area we can see so much from where we are right now because we're so high up and visibility is quite good this morning so we're going to head out in a second and show you and if you did not see the previous Vlog we have arrived here in Alabang staying at the I keep mispronouncing this hotel I think it's vi video we watched yesterday we actually watched we actually watched a video on how to pronounce it I'll put it on the screen here this is where we're staying kindly invited us for a couple of nights Viv vi vi vi something like that we were saying Viv yes back in Alabang happy to be here really really like this area Lucy is not lying about the view it is pretty spectacular I we've never been this high up in Alabang ever and even from our room we've got stunning view um enjoying the view it's stunning look out look at this there a rock [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] so in the distance is the where is it along here is the like metro Manilla Skyline you can see and like BGC the Cassie and something I really like about Alabama these long roads full of palm trees and when the sun shines at different times of day the Shadows of the palm trees create these amazing patterns along the road and the palm trees here are quite different it's more like the ones you see in Dubai not like your classic coconut tree they're like the more spiky ones and you've always got these really cool patterns reflect you on the road and I feel like that's quite distinctly Alabang I've not seen that anywhere else yeah this ke is amazing so we get to have breakfast and dinner here while we're staying at the hotel and it's um it's really nice eating at different times of day as well so super nice big old view of lag lagona Lake in front of me which is actually the view from our condo so it's quite funny seeing it so close up just behind me here um yeah amazing now we're going to head for some coffee at the mall the mall opens at 10: but I think the coffee Shop's already open now and uh George has found one of his new favorite coffee spots in Alabang so we couldn't have another day here and not go there you probably saw it in the Vlog yesterday and he's also considering getting a tattoo for some reason so I'm not sure what's going on there but what's that your first tattoo you're going to get today oh do you know what I'm so temped keep's Talking About It piano so I don't know what one he's going to get I want to put on my story and get people to give me ideas there's stuff all over the lens [Music] door making our Christmas [Music] Memories you may have noticed we use a lot of music in these Vlogs and where we we find the music is epidemic sound who have sponsored today's video we've now used epidemic sound for over 6 years let me show you how important music is in a vlog so right now we could be having a chilled Family Sunday Lucy's cooking a meal nice and calm or the food is burning people are coming around in 2 minutes Lucy the food's not ready how long is it going to be um don't know we also have some iconic tracks from our juicy Vlog room tour when we're traveling or if I've done something a little bit silly a little bit awkward that I shouldn't have done we can use music to help tell that story as well so if you're already a creator you're starting a journey in 2024 and you need music for your projects we have a link below where you can get a free trial Lucy and I are both huge fans of the platform try out all the music full access to the system so yeah free trial in the description go check it out I always find it funny because Lucy and I do like to get like a morning Walkin like we're doing now it's currently that is quite funny George it's hilarious isn't it just like walking in the morning so funny no it's 9:30 in the morning and there's no one around because we've noticed that people actually avoid the sun here people do not want to come come out when it's too hot people kind of wait till the evening or obviously get the morning Rush of people going to work like 7 8: a.m. but we've noticed a lot yeah the malls don't open till like 11: or 10 10:00 here in BGC most of the stores and the malls open at 11:00 a.m. so we always find it funny that we're the only ones walking around in the direct sunlight cuz we're like stick out a bit doesn't it cuz we're from England so like the sun to us is precious we're like here come the tourists yeah here come the tourists flocking out in the sun guys if you're looking for a sign this is it so much lately I can barely find the time to sleep yeah spend my time running around keeping people pleas but this is my favorite heart day it's a chance to start over new cuz I missed you so what happened well we forgot money so I had to run back to the hotel in 32° heat ran all the way there all the way back love your impressed with my fitness though didn't struggle didn't uh didn't even sweat oh did sweat
