Compare: Fruits and Vegetable Prices in the Netherlands and the Philippines

-

Out of curiosity, we decided to check the local market prices of fruits and vegetables and compare them with those from the Philippines. 

Watch this video of what we found out.



Some notes: 1. The fruits and vegetables we bought are good for one week and for two to three people. 2. The market stalls do not issue paper receipts, like many food stalls in the Philippine markets. Hence there is no price breakdown for each item, only the total amount indicated in the mobile banking app. 3. This is not a fully comprehensive calculation as stated in the second note above. However, it gives an idea about the actual pricing of commodities in the Dutch marketplaces. 4. This is an informative video that does not intend to provoke political reactions to the content.

Time-traveling in Historic Madrid

Transported back in time! This was the feeling when we set foot in Madrid, the capital of Spain, a former global superpower ( conquistador or conqueror). The city is bustling with history. Everything we saw, the places we ate in, and the streets we walked on, teem with colorful past. Not that I'm complaining. We love stories that we can tell when we go back home.   The iconic landmark, Plaza Mayor, is a crowd favorite with its restaurant rows and various touristy fares. We visited Madrid in the Summer --- not a smart move. The heat was too much, at 40 degrees Celsius daily. Coming from The Netherlands , the Spanish weather was too much to bear. So, when visiting Spain this season, be ready with a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunblock, and lots of water.  We first noticed the country's terrain from the plane when it was about to land. It resembles most of California --- dry and brown (with few trees), and of course, sunny. Somehow some parts looked like the desert surface of D

My recent visit to Prague, Czech Republic led me to the idea of asking for more information about staying there. It is a beautiful country, full of culture and life.  My friend and former colleague, Rysa Alenzuela, LL.B., Ph.D., is the best person to provide the details I wanted for my short video. She has been living there for some time now. We're proud of her because she's the first Asian (Filipino) to head a prestigious institution.  Watch it and learn more about Prague. You'll love to visit after.
