I arrive in Lalibela at the last minute without booking a place to stay. Upon arrival at the airport, I choose one guest house at random, and it turns out to be a pretty decent place!

Buying Toys For Slum Children | Cebu City, Philippines

courage — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 22:30:47 +0000

Cebu city is full of contrasts with new condo developments dotted with slums and shacks. On a random whim, I visit some children living in shacks near me and ask if they want anything.

One thing I noticed later is that new Western toys like Hot Wheels actually cost a bit more in the Philippines than here. I think a good idea is to buy a bunch of new condition toys on a buy/sell website and bring them to the Philippines.

Raptors Parade Close Up | Kawhi Leonard, Drake, and Kyle Lowry Reaction To “Five More Years”

Toronto is my home city, and the Raptors winning is a big deal – we’re championship starved! Knowing my city well, I figured out where I believed would be the least crowded section, and got there using old school inline skates. I then did a bit of climbing to get a good close-up view of the parade captured some nice footage of the crowd, the celebrations, and Marc Gasol’s antics. Most important was the star player’s Kawhi Leonard’s reaction to everyone asking him to stay (his contract his up).

Cooking Seafood In The Philippines | CHEAP $10 FEAST

courage — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 13:20:35 +0000

In a previous episode, I went on a seafood buying binge at the Tagbilaran morning fish market, picking up soft-shelled crabs, sea grapes, swordfish, tuna, and some veggies. After a day of waterfall hopping, I’m back at home to cook up a feast with my host. And best of all, I spent less than $10 Canadian ($7.50 USD) for the entire feast.

Here are the ingredients/recipes:

Ensaladang lato (sea grape salad) – chopped tomatoes, garlic, onions, and Filipino vinegar

Ensaladang guso (seaweed salad) – same recipe as above, but the seaweed needs to be boiled first

Crab with Tangy Coconut Tomato sauce – coconut milk, tomato paste, Filipino crabs

Spicy Swordfish soup – kamunggay (horseradishe tree) leaves, napa cabbage, chopped tomatoes, chopped chillies, onions

Grilled Tuna – tuna, salt

CHEAP Filipino Seafood In Bohol, Philippines + Moving Youtube Channel!

courage — Sat, 25 May 2019 14:32:14 +0000

Self-catering for the win! Restaurant seafood in the Philippines is surprisingly expensive and harder to find than pork. However, the Philippines is an island country, and here in Bohol, I head to the Tagbilaran fish market where I find an abundance of tuna, crab, swordfish, and cooking veggies to make a meal or three.

Best of all, it’s ridiculously cheap!

Also, I’ve moved my travel videos to a new Youtube channel since they’re veering in a very different direction. Click here to subscribe!

Cebu STREET Food Pungko Pungko | Squatting Style Lunch

courage — Wed, 08 May 2019 01:53:25 +0000

Street food episode! I hop into a random street food stall where I get to experienced pungko pungko – Filipino squatting style deep fried foods. Pungko pungko is one of the fodos Cebu City is known for, and there are many different things to eat. Here I try the siao mai, pork cutlet, pork liver, chicken neck, and spring rolls.

It’s pretty greasy (thank goodness for the plastic wraps), but it’s tasty, and of course, accompanied by Mountain Dew or a fizzy lemon drink.
