Hi fam, hindi pa po tapos ang Osaka Vlogs :) inuna ko lang i-upload ito since marami sa inyo ang curious about the updated travel requirements to Hong Kong 😊 Ready to travel again? Don’t go without travel insurance: safetywing.com/?referenceID=24900626&Ambassador

The Filipinos in our Immigration shouldn’t give a traumatic experience or a not so pleasant experience. We are talking about Filipinos checking Filipinos and for vacation trips they shouldn’t be treated differently. Foreign immigration aren’t like this and treats their citizens better.

Konting takeaways lang from the vlog, first dapat magkakasama na kayo sa pila sa IO, pwede ka mauna kasi madami ka na naman tatak sa passport and just say na kasama mo sila. Don't leave 1st timers alone lalo na single girls red flag agad yan. Next, never change currency sa airport unless emergency kasi taga yan everywhere. Like nacalculate ko yun P11k ang exchange rate nakuha nya is P8 to HKD1. Since Chungking naman kayo stay dun na din magpapalit kahit kimabukasan na. Pwede di maglabas ng cash pagdating, credit card nyo lang octopus card and makakasurvive na kayo anywhere in HK. Last, tutal 5 full days naman kayo yun 1 extra day pwede magMacau day tour para 2in1 na, madagdagan tatak or papel sa passport nila and at the same time maganda din sa Macau😁

My first international travel was HK too. My sisters and I went there the year Disneyland Hong Kong opened. The female immigration officer who interviewed us was very friendly. She first interviewed me, asked for the accommodation, duration of my stay and who are my companions. When she learned that I was travelling with my two sisters, she motioned for them to join me so that she can interview us altogether. So thankful that we had a smooth experience with the immigration on our first trip outside the country. We were lucky, I guess. Siguro sa first timers, mahigpit talaga mga IO. Pero I'm sure sa next travel nyo, okay na yan.

Ramdam ko ung excitement ng dalawa! HK was also our first trip abroad as a family. Nakakadalawang balik pa lang kami ever since. Will definitely visit again soon!

This vlog gave me so much joy. Naalala ko bigla yung first time ko rin mag-out-of-the country trip, at Hong Kong din ang destination. May halong kaba, takot, excitement, at saya. Thank you for documenting your experience. I'm sure di rin makakalimutan ng cousins mo ito.

TIP: for faster bus access go directly to the end of the arrival hall. take the elevator down and cross the street.

Naawa ako kay Caz Vanessa but congrats on your first international flight! Enjoy HK guys! Sana makasabay din namin kayo sa airport soon! Happy holidays! ❤

This reminds me sooo much of our first intl travel and also in Hong Kong. Sa sobrang saya namin gusto namin halikan yong sahig sa labas ng airport hahaha happy for you and for your cousins for having successfully passed the immigration and get to visit HK! not my favorite but it holds a special place in my heart for an eye-opening experience and life-changing travel. Enjoy the remainder of your stay in HK!

Masarap talaga mag travel.. Ung xperienced and memories. I've travel Hongkong and Macau with the nieces and my daughter last 2019.

Thanks for sharing. Na-miss ko tuloy ang HK at ang Tsim Tsa Sui. HK was my 1st international flight & I enjoyed it, kaya nagpabalik-balik ako. 😊 The last time I watched your blogs in Bangkok, na-inspire ako. Ayun gumora kming mag-iina sa BKK 😅. I enjoy watching your vlogs. You are natural & very pleasant. More powers to you & wishing you all the best. God bless.😊💕

Tips for first-timers also :D I think mga IO tinitignan rin yung body language kaya kung super nervous ka talagang iprepressure nila. Just look confident kasi wala ka naman tinatago, act natural lang ;) I think they're just making sure hindi magtratrabaho outside the country using a tourist visa. Have fun po JM & cousins! :)

While watching, I can't help but smile. 😊 Hong Kong is my 1st international travel as well. Like all 1st timers, it took me a bit sa IO. But yes, nakalusot naman din. Enjoy HK. 🇭🇰

Nakaka claustrophobic yung mga rooms jan sa chunking buuut easy access sa mtr 👍

Please do more content kasama sila couz nakakatuwa sila 😂❤❤❤

Hi Sir JM I would like to express my thanks to you and your vlog about going on a tour to Hong Kong. Your vlog is very informative and great to watch. FYI I am a retired OFW and a senior. Recently my wife together with my son made a 10 day tour in Hong Kong. We followed all your advised and visited the places you recommended. We visited places like Ngong Ping 360 had a wonderful time riding the cable car and see the giant Buddha, ride the Peak Tram, have pictures taken with celebrities at Madam Tussaud & see the Hong Kong skyline by the Sky Terrace, visited Macau by bus, seen the lights at the Avenue of Stars, spent 2 days in Disneyland and stayed at Explorers Hotel Disneyland. we also went to Luvenus for some Jewelry and had Chinese food at Haiphong Street as you recommended. However we had one disappointing experience. My son who is also an OFW in Dubai book our hotel at Philippine Hostel Block C at Chung King Mansions through Booking.com with confirmation number. When we arrive at the Philippine Hostel the proprietor said we have no booking reservation. We showed him our reservation and insisted we have no reservation and that the hostel is fully occupied. He told us to talk with booking.com and we replied we have a confirmed reservation from Booking.com. Our conversation kept on going until the proprietor push me and my family out and shut the door. We came back to lobby and fortunately there were 2 Kababayans who help us find a vacant hotel room. We were able to have a room at Pacific Lodge Hostel at Chung King Mansion. My son have to pay cash for 6500 HKD about 46,000 pesos compared to 4009 HKD ( 28,000 pesos ) if we had our rooms at Philippine hostel. My son did not have second thoughts about the cost as long as we have place to stay. Nevertheless we still had a wonderful time and we will cherish these memories forever. Thanks to my son for sharing his blessings to his Mom & Dad and God will bless him. Thanks once again Sir JM more power to your vlog keep on doing your content for it is very helpful. Ingat stay safe and God Bless po.

naawa naman ako kay cuz Vanessa 😣 at least, nasa HK ka na! ibang klaseng saya din talaga kapag nagtravel ka with family. lalo na pag first timers sila. iba yung kurot sa heart pag nakikita mo sila na sobrang amazed at masaya sa mga nakikita at naeeexperience nila. ingat kayo and enjoy the rest of the holidays in HK! 😀

I had this 1st international travel last month lang sa hongkong as well. And thankful ako kasi super smooth ng 1st international travel ko. Di ko inexpect na ang bilis ng process sa check in at immagration

Went there before the lockdown with my whole fam. Nakakamiss! Thank you for bringing us back there kahit in spirit lang.😁😁😁

Congratulations JM! Proud of you! Keep going! :)

Namiss ko HK praying din na makapunta kami ng son ko this december para dun magspent with his Lolo and lola. Hope you enjoyed your vacay ❤

Done with SoKor and Taiwan series. HK series nmn. Actually I have upcoming HK travel this August, sadly I'm done arranging my itinerary, late ko na nakita vlogs mo hehe. Pero watching the series could still be helpful, malay natin. 😁

Been to HKG 15 years ago. Was supposed to be back June 2020 with my son, kaso nag lockdown early March. Super looking forward ako makabalik dyan, hopefully mas luwagan nila ng konti ang requirements (hassle-free) especially if travelling with a child 😊 Thanks for sharing JM, enjoy your HKG travel with cousins 😊

Naalala ko tuloy nung 1st time ko din magtravel sumakay ng airplane😍at sa hk din destination namin super happy ko and nkakaiyak sya,kakamiss yung hangin ng hk😁babalik sana kmi last year para maexperienced ng baby nmin ang disneyland😍kaya lang coz of pandemic hnd natuloy🥲hoping soon makavisit kami again kapag maluwag na and no virus🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, JM. Malaking tulong itong vlog mo sa pagpaplano ng bakasyon namin. Keep sharing and stay safe.

pag may kasama ka po 1st timer, wag ka po mauuna sa pila saknla..isang pila lang sana kayo at ikaw sa huli para may back-up support sila in case may hanapin si IO kung sino kasama nila

Watching from Canada, your vlog is fully packed with valuable info. Thanks for sharing, this is helpful.

Naka book na po. Haha. Jan 11-15 gosh namiss ko na HK. ☺

I missed HK back in 2016. My first Disney . Now I’m down into my last Disney in Paris France hopefully next year 🙏. I love watching your vlog

1st time ko napanood, para na rin akong kasama sa pamamasyal nyo habang pinapanood ko haha, very clear ang mga details lalo na pag nagsasalita ka ☺️😊

Grabe talaga ibang IOs, minsan power tripping nalang sila eh❣️🥺❣️ Excited to watch you HK vlog series❣️🤩❣️

Wow masaya ako para sa mga pinsan mo na first time travelers. Enjoy! Ingat lagi.

Waiting po ako sa 2nd part ng HK trip nyo po ☺️

Ang saya i remember when i traveled with my bff cousin na hindi ko nakita in 10years. We went sa Japan naman dun kami gumala at so happy kasi ang galing nya sa navigation at pag budget LOL

me tunog po kc ung trapik light para sa mga bulag po na tumatawid alone para alam po nila if naka stop or go na pagtawid

omygoooood Jm love it.. Sami kuna eh Hk name

Jan din kame nagstay way back 2019 saktong sakto bago mag pandemic. stay safe!! enjoy!!

I'm excited to go to Hong Kong on Monday😁!! It's been 4 years since omgg

Omggg! Kaka-booked ko lang ng flight to HK and there you are! Searching for HK travel vlogs, buti meron ka na po 🎉❤😊 Thanks, this will be a great help po.

Welcome to hongkong sir and two pretty ladies.. wag ka po kabahan ate ..kahit first time mo..enjoy the winter season here in hk po😘😘😘stay safe

Thank goodness ....HKG is open planning trip to Iloilo Philippines 🇵🇭 need to stop over in HK then to Mnl on to Iloilo.

we also stayed in the same building mas mura kasi and d ka naman mag stay ng buong araw sa hotel eh d gastusin na lang sa mga tour un pang magandang hotel yehey pareho tau ng choice sir JM

for even cheaper GUEST HOTEL try Causeway BAY less than 2K daily.

If group kayo magtatravel wag na kayo maghiwahiwalay sa pila. Paunahin ung mas experienced sa international travel so he/she could tell the IO na kasama niya ung mga nasa likod niya. We did this when my family traveled, di na masyadong ininterview mga kasama ko. Always be confident when answering their questions. Can't blame them, ang dami rin talaga kasing nagti-TNT e.

Ang Saya mo maging cousin JM. ahahah Mother si JM po lakas po makahatak mg book ng travel... ahahahha More power and more travels po

Cool vlog, this will be helpful, plan ko e dala family ko soon :)...thank you so much!

Hello JM regards mo ako dyan sa HK.. dating OFW 2004, balik ako 2019 for my 40tb bday gift sarili 🤗 yes agree na miss ko ang sounds every time tatawid ka 😘

waiting for the IO experience video. Enjoy HK and stay safe!

Jm parehast tayo ng maleta! Love it! Always watching your travel vlogs

Stayed in the same area during our HK trip. Favorite namin yung stall across the street of Jollibee (yung corner stall) na nagtitinda ng fried food. Favorite namin yung fried squid and rice in lotus leaf (machang). Wish I could remember the name basta paglabas mo ng jollibee tatawid ka straight ng konti tapos unang stall na may fried food. Must try! Nakakamiss!

we also stayed dyan sa comfort guesthouse. ang bait ni auntie as in! malinis and affordable dyan

Wow! Thanks JM! Hoping for Europe tour vlogs soon!

I’ve been there few times before pandemic but am sure it has change now🧐thanks for the tour😎

Hi Jm, enjoy ako makapanood sa vlog mo ngayon kasi nagpunta kayo ng hongkong ng cous. mo, alam mo pangarap ko ring makapunta dyan, kaya lang ngayon siguro mas mahihirapan na ako makapasok sa hongkong kasi wala akong vaccine card

Your videos are amazing but I would love it if you could add the English subtitles as a non-Filipino thankyou!

I pay great respects to your video that give very updated info to other foreign visitors who may hesitate to come...

I miss Hong Kong I work as OFW in hk for 16 years I left hk last 2019 going to RUSSIA now I'm working in Russia

First time ang nakakatakot.. but 2nd time mejo may confidence na sa IO. Remembered that time na first time ko rin maginternat'l trip, super saya sa feeling. 😊

Good choice yung bus - mas mahal ung train. Kakamiss ang hongkong!

Nakakamiss ang HK, I wont forget my first out of the country trip,

Hi JM. Tanong ko lang anong app ginagamit mo sa video mo bandang 20:12? actually napanuod ko na tong mga vids mo to HK. I am reviewing it again to take notes about your IO and itin. Me and my friends are going to HK next yr 2024 sa January 😁. Medyo nag wo-worry din ako kasi, though this will be my second time traveling abroad pero 2015 pa yun, baka ma gisa pa ko nang masyado dahil sa current work ko as virtual assistant.

thNKS FOR SHARING....INFORMATIVE TALAGA MGA VLOG MO JM

Tama ang basa mo sa TST (Tsim Sha Tsui -Chim Sha Choy). Jan ko din hinatid sa chungking mansion ang friends ko visiting hk dati

Welcome to HK…OMGggggg sana makita ko kau o makasakubong…malapit lang kau kung saan me nagwowork…Anyway Enjoy HK…by the way kung shopping syempre citygate kung gusto niyo ng branded pero mas maganda pag chinese new year 50-90% off doon dahil need nila magpalit ng bagong stocks..isa sa pamahiin/culture ng mga intsik😉

Sa kawalanghiyaan ng mga intsik dyan, lalo na yung mga galing mainland, mag ingat kayo. Bigla na lang kayong hostaged ng mya dimonyo
