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.

Segovia, Spain: The Cathedral, Alcazar, and Roman Aqueduct

If you are in Madrid, make it a point to take that trip to the nearby Segovia. It is another historic place minus the hustle and bustle of the busy capital. We tried both transportation means. First, we took the bus, which was an hour-and-a-half ride. It was only EUR4 per person for a departure at 11 AM. Returning, we rode the fast train at only EUR14 per passenger departing at 5:30 PM. The other options are whole-day packaged tours, including bus fares, to and fro. Get Your Guide offers convenient choices for activities and fares in Segovia. The bus ride offered nice views of what lies outside of Madrid. The train windows were closed throughout the trip because it was super hot! In fact, it was a bit warm inside the train. Our first stop was the Alcazar de Segovia, which was said to be the inspiration behind Disneyland's castles. You can see it in the video and you can tell why.  The true feast to the eyes was the Segovia Cathedral. In the video, we had a lengthy portion that sho...

The Streets of Paris, The Louvre, The Notre Dame, and The Eiffel Tower

  Six-minute video here . Voila! And just like that! Paris is now part of my cities-I-love list (with Kuala Lumpur, New York City, Adelaide, Makati, and Muntinlupa). I managed my expectations when the family decided to visit. The city is at the bottom of my trip priorities because of the stories I heard. Past travelers said so much about pickpockets and tourist traps. So when we came, I had to up my antennae to be always on guard. But it first captivated me. Seeing its Christmassy streets, adorable decorations, well-placed parks, and Christmas markets, some stars popped out of my eyes. Haha! "Lovely" is an understatement. I like that everything is walkable, especially for people like me and my husband, who collect 10k steps or more daily.  The highlight of the trip is our Eiffel Tower Tour, which is featured on the YouTube short above. Our Facebook page also features a reel about one of the glitzy Christmas markets in the city.  If you try the Eiffel Tour, you have two c...
