Even though our entire family is very excited to finally have our own condo in BGC, if you've seen some of our past content you know that it's no big secret that we're not really 100% in love with the apartment that we're living in right now. In hindsight, we probably should have taken our time a little bit more. We got a bit caught up and didn't take a step back to just make sure we were making the right decision, but here we are and even though we've got a long time left on the lease for this condo, our attention is already elsewhere. We're looking ahead to what that next place is going to be and to that end we have decided to go look at a place today that we could potentially buy at some point down the road as long as the finances would line up. We're not sure but we're going to go check it out because it looks like a really cool building and it would put us even closer to our friends the Ocampos over at Mom Duty channel, so let's go check it out.

    Bgc is a haux. They sell condos as expensive as those in Chicago or New York but pay their manpower as low as 150USD monthly and expect them to provide "world class" service.
  • Filipino American here living in New Jersey. Love your channels. Thanks for showing better part of Philippines 🇵🇭
  • @30AndAWakeUp
    Im the same! I prefer to walk everywhere! That’s why BCG appeals to me so much. It looks sooooo walkable! thanks for all the great BCG content.
  • @alvinsuede6091
    what I love about BGC is the fact that is pedestrian friendly. I work in one of the buildings near high street and during my lunch hours I would just enjoy my break there in Krispy Kreme. Actually I saw you guys strolling there a few months ago was a bit shy to say Hi but will definitely do so the next time I'd see you guys there
  • @GideonBeldia

    Watching from Chicago! Nice video…thank you you for showing us this beautiful place. Amazing!
  • @MrAmoRay
    I'm soo happy Brooklyn loves to read. Reading expands your mind and how you percieve the world. Your vocabulary will also be a big plus. You can someday talk to your parents and make them feel like they were nonchallantly walking then getting hit and run over by a thesaurus... YOU. Keep it up, B.
  • @sheewanders7601
    Love this kind of content! Watching from Sydney and dreaming of owning a place like this in BGC. For city living, I think BGC can’t be beat. The atmosphere and friendly, relaxed people in the PH and being surrounded by everything you need. Low cost of good quality services and can even hire a helper to make life easier. But I must say that price is insane! Hope you show some mid range or even low cost options as well. 😅
  • @uchniezt1212
    Glad to see more foreign vloggers saying the proper location of BGC. More power and support for your channel, sir/ma'am!
  • @franzenayson7109
