Terrorism, kidnapping and blackmailing of wealthy people, rebels who fight against the army, a "War against drugs", robbery, violence, corrupt security officials who try to scam tourists, and so on ... Wow... 😥 Is this really true? 😢 The German Ministry of Foreign Affair warns about a high criminal rate and high risks for tourists in the Philippines. I already read about it once but the danger seems to increase...? 😟 That's kind of scary tbh... The regions of the screenshot they point out as especially dangerous.

I am in northern mindanao (region X) area. So far, there's no crime here because I'm living in a suburban place.
Hm... I see... The videos I'm seeing from the Philippines seem rather peaceful too... There is a Youtube channel called "LarryPH WALKING" which I'm watching a lot recently.
Wow, you seem to be very interested here in Philippines 😮
I actually am... 🥺 I'm curious about the country, culture and people. It's pretty fascinating looking at a country that is so different to where I live. Even more than Japan.
You won't regret Philippines. I want to meet you in person flip but I'm a little bit scared you would judge how I look ('coz we filipinos are shorter in real life 😂)
Really? 🥺 I'm not judging anyone by their looks. And btw I'm pretty short too. 😅
But if you come in Philippines you are tall tbh. If you wanna visit in Philippines, please come here in Cagayan de Oro city. I think you would be a nice stranger to meet in real life 😂
I actually don't think I am... Are there any cool things to see in Cagayan de Oro city? The "Catanico Falls" look pretty cool I think. I'm still not sure if I will survive the trial period at work and can travel. And about if I fly to Japan or to the Philippines. Or maybe even both.
Japan is not so far from Philippines. I think you won't have trouble with traveling two countries since we are not so far. Have you been in seas? Islands before?
Yes. I read about people visiting the Philippines first and then flying over to Japan. I think it's pretty cheap. No. I have never seen the sea. 😬 I never left Germany. Once I drove over to Switzerland and Austria for a day or so...
Oh then Philippines must a be an interesting country to you. We have so many seas (so get ready for sun bathing 😂) Anyway, where do you prefer to go in Philippines?
My skin is actually extremely sensitive. Because my skin is so white I get sunburned within like 5 minutes, even here in Germany... I have to use a special sun creme from the pharmacy... 😓😓😓 I would prever to see some nature and maybe historical places. But I don't have any places in mind because I don't know much about the Philippines yet.
Am Far from the listed places in the photo. Hahaha. Tho, those activities you've mentioned are correct such as war on drugs, robbery, etc. But still, there are lots of safe places here, of course. It's just, bad guys are roaming around the world, and it's normal that people will televised such things like that to inform people that authorities are making a way to lessen crimes. (Hopefully) hahaha Don't bother to go here, Flip. You'll enjoy your stay here, for sure. 😊
I'm glad to hear that you are safe! 😁 I see... Hm... Do you think that Manila maybe is the safest place to visit? Because it's the capital?
Hmmm. I see. It's safe tho lots of foreigners stay there, but I can't tell that it's the safest. As long as you have your condo, or what where you can stay, you safe here. Btw. I'm an hour away from manila hahaha. Traffic sucks. As always. Don't worry, Flip. Hahahah I'm pretty sure that you'll find a genuine Filipino/person that will help you when you're here. 😊
I see! I saw videos of the traffic. It's a bit scary and seems dangerous... I think there are a lot of reckless drivers. 🤔 Even if I would decide to do a vacation in Japan I should visit the Philippines for a day or two... Germany -> Philippines -> Japan costs basically the same as Germany -> Japan. 🤔🤔 I think it could be cool for the experience. But idk yet...
Ohhh that... Other reasons of traffic here are road widening, roadside vendors, or can be in crowded places. Hehehe. Great!!! that's a nice plan. Hope you'll find your way to work it out😊
Hm. I see! 🤔😁 Thank you!! It's still just an idea because I don't know if the company will hire my after my trial period... And I'm a bit nervous about travelling alone too so this would be a huge step for me... 😬
Hahaha you're always welcome 😊 Don't worry it's normal. In fact it's cool coz you're thinking of a way to step out of your comfort zone. Have a safe travels, always 😁
It wouldn't be a step out of my comfort zone... It would be like jumping out of a helicopter into ice cold water without knowing what will happen.... There is a chance that I will be overwhelmed and keep hiding in the hotel room all the time being too scared to go outside.... Hm... Anyway... 🤔😬
Hahahaha there is also a chance that you'll excited to sleep and gain energy so you can enjoy travelling outside 😊
This would be cool.... 🥺 I'm thinking about buying an expensive camera that I will be forced to take as many pictures as possible so the camera was worth buying... So I will be forced to go outside and take pictures to make the purchase worth it... 🤔🙄🤧 I don't like spending much money on things so I would be forced to make it worth buying... Idk... 😅🤦
Hahahah yeah, indeed. There are great phones now that you can actually achieve a shot just like when you use a real camera. I think that would cheaper and more useful. But if you really want a camera, go ahead. So you will be forced to use it too😅 hahahah
I thought that too. But you get a way better image quality from for example a 1000$ camera compared to a 1000$ phone with a camera. 🤔 But like with everything I'm not sure yet... These are all only ideas in my mind. I still have to do the step to make them reality.... 😔😓😓
Makes sense... Well atleast you have a job. You can save money, buy things, travel, make your mom happy. And many more.
Yes... I hope I will keep this job... It's not looking good but for now I keep ignoring that as much as I can... Anyway...
It's always Worth the wait. You can do it 😊
Thank you... 🥺
