FunTranscript
00:00 Can fire and ice combine?
00:04 Yes, in the Tinagurian Land of Fire and Ice,
00:09 Iceland, where there's a lot of ice.
00:14 It's fun to mix and match.
00:17 One of the ways to enjoy Iceland
00:22 more thrillingly is through snowmobiles
00:26 in the heart of another active volcano,
00:30 Mount Katla.
00:32 Afraid?
00:33 They say you need to wear layers
00:37 because it's cold up there.
00:39 Even your head.
00:40 Thank you.
00:41 Come with me.
00:42 We're going to ride a snowmobile
00:45 on top of a glacier
00:46 which is one of the most
00:48 frightening volcanoes in Iceland.
00:51 But there's no problem.
00:53 That volcano won't explode in a day.
00:56 Tourists are being careful
00:58 especially if they don't know
01:00 when the next eruption of Mount Katla will be.
01:03 It's dangerous,
01:05 especially if magma or lava of volcano and ice
01:08 will mix.
01:10 And because it's my first time here,
01:12 I'm wearing a helmet.
01:13 It's so beautiful.
01:23 The sun is out.
01:24 [Music]
01:31 It's fun.
01:32 It's cold.
01:33 I can't feel my fingers.
01:35 [Music]
01:40 We're okay today, right?
01:42 The volcano will not blow up.
01:44 Ah.
01:45 [Laughs]
01:46 Every winter,
01:48 100% of Iceland is covered in snow
01:51 except in other places
01:53 where the snow is like in a freezer.
01:57 Just like Vatnajökull National Park
02:00 which covers 14% of the land of Iceland.
02:05 Some of the main attractions of Vatnajökull
02:08 are the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
02:11 where the water is like a big ice cube.
02:18 The Vatnajökull Ice Caves are made of ice.
02:22 It's been 900 years old.
02:27 When you walk on the ice,
02:28 this goes down to the ice
02:30 and you will just feel like you're stepping on gravel.
02:33 And then big step over, yes.
02:35 Wow.
02:36 The path is narrow and the steps are slippery.
02:41 Good.
02:42 But it's worth it,
02:43 especially picture perfect.
02:46 It's like you're in another world.
02:51 Before the internet trolls were popular,
02:54 the people here believed in these
02:57 that live in caves, caves, even in ice.
03:02 Some are light blue and some are dark blue.
03:06 This has to do with the amount of oxygen in the ice.
03:10 But the blue color is just a reflection.
03:12 Now, due to climate change or global warming,
03:16 the tunnels here start to go down and shrink
03:20 because the ice melts.
03:23 But it's still delicious to drink straight from the cave.
03:30 It is good. Actually, quite sweet.
03:32 So we thought,
03:34 how can we add Pinoy touch to the ice of Iceland?
03:39 Hmm, what if we mix it here?
03:46 Where is it delicious to mix this Christmas?
03:49 Join us.
03:51 When in Iceland, where there's a lot of ice,
03:55 let's mix it.
03:57 We brought the ingredients from our home.
03:59 Let's add coconut milk.
04:02 It's a waste if there's no saba and sweet potato.
04:05 There.
04:09 We have ice.
04:11 Ah, my hands are cold.
04:13 Of course, milk can't be left out.
04:18 Here we go. We have our mix.
04:21 To be honest, they love ice cream
04:24 even though it's cold here in their country.
04:27 So there's no reason why they won't like
04:31 and love our mix here.
04:33 The right way to mix it so the ice doesn't fall,
04:38 is to put it first.
04:40 No, you can't do that because it will fall.
04:42 Filipino mix in Iceland.
04:45 What can they say about our Filipino mix?
04:48 Where are you from?
04:49 New York.
04:50 Oh, it's a big thing now in New York.
04:52 Purple yam.
04:53 It's a little sweet but you just try and mix everything up
04:57 from the bottom.
04:58 Like it, Michael?
05:00 Yeah, I like it.
05:02 You can have the whole thing.
05:03 Coconut gel and then this is sweet beans.
05:06 It's just ice.
05:07 Yeah, because you have a lot of ice here.
05:10 So it's such a waste not to have this here.
05:13 I've noticed.
05:15 Thank you.
05:16 You like it, chef?
05:17 It's good?
05:18 It's melting in my mouth.
05:19 In the middle of our shoot,
05:22 there's a foreigner who's familiar with our Filipino mix.
05:26 Where are you from?
05:27 Morocco.
05:28 How come you know our Filipino mix?
05:30 I was in the Philippines.
05:31 Oh, here's your Filipino mix.
05:34 Have him try our Filipino mix.
05:36 When he saw our Filipino mix, he said,
05:39 "Filipino mix! Filipino mix!"
05:41 Oh my God!
05:42 This is your lucky day.
05:44 It's my birthday, actually.
05:46 Happy birthday! Happy birthday to you!
05:49 Very tasty.
05:53 You enjoyed it when you came to the Philippines?
05:55 I loved it.
05:56 Where did you get it?
05:57 Palawan, I was in Pocon.
06:00 The Filipino mix on the island is even cooler!
06:07 It's very good.
06:10 Very good.
06:11 We, Filipinos, are one of the happiest people in the world.
06:19 It's perfect for one of the countries in Europe
06:23 that is always on the list of "Happiest Place on Earth" –
06:28 Denmark!
06:30 The safest country in the world to visit in 2020.
06:34 Denmark!
06:39 Do you know that the inspiration for Disneyland is also in Denmark?
06:44 The Tivoli Gardens.
06:49 But the most iconic landmark here is probably the longest bar in Scandinavia,
07:00 the Newhound Harbor.
07:02 There's no color difference.
07:04 Newhound is the name of this place. Translated, it means "new harbor."
07:08 Not only will the houses be colorful, but their history will also be colorful.
07:12 Because back then, these houses were called "Aliwan"
07:15 but now, this is one of the most famous landmarks of Denmark.
07:19 You can't get here if you haven't seen it.
07:22 It's proof that we all have a chance to change our destiny.
07:31 To clean up the bad reputation of Newhound,
07:35 the houses were made by the banks.
07:39 That's why the former red light district became a tourist attraction.
07:44 Everybody deserves a second chance.
07:47 Here in the harbor, their Christmas market is already set up.
07:53 Hello, Philippines!
07:58 Hello, Philippines!
08:01 A real Christmas tree.
08:09 It smells like Christmas.
08:12 These are my weaknesses, the Christmas tree's branches.
08:20 The material is from Nepal, from wool.
08:24 They believe in elves.
08:26 The people who help Santa Claus believe that the elves hide in the kitchen of their house.
08:33 During Christmas, they eat there.
08:36 We have a tradition in La Union, in Ilocano,
08:40 we eat together whenever there are special occasions.
08:45 We have the same tradition.
08:47 This is very typical. It's called a "flu bowler."
08:52 Flu bowler.
08:55 So, it's typical.
08:57 If you have a birthday here in Denmark, you need to bring this to school, especially to the kids.
09:03 That's like your birthday cake for your classmates.
09:07 Mmm, it has meringue inside.
09:13 It's meringue, yeah? Egg whites.
09:15 And then, there's chocolate outside. It's delicious.
09:19 Wherever the world goes, there are Filipinos, even in the faraway Faroe Islands,
09:28 where some of our fellow Filipinos have been looking for forever.
09:35 Once upon a time, in a land far, far away,
09:41 there are islands that are at the end of the world.
09:48 Between Iceland and Norway, just a few miles away from the map.
09:54 But nearby, it's paradise.
09:58 But before the tourists come,
10:02 did you know that many Filipinos have already been here?
10:08 This is where they found their forever, yes, forever, on the Faroe Islands.
10:16 We travel for more than an hour from Copenhagen to one of the farthest groups of islands in Europe.
10:26 The name of those islands is Faroe Islands.
10:29 Like the Philippines, the Faroe Islands is also a continent made up of 779 small islands.
10:43 Hi, welcome to Faroe Islands!
10:46 We have fellow Filipinos here.
10:48 It's cold, but their welcome is so warm.
10:51 Welcome to Faroe Islands!
10:53 Hello, how are you?
10:55 It's really nice.
10:56 There's even a flag of the Philippines.
10:58 It's so cold.
11:00 There's even a flower pot here.
11:03 How are you all?
11:04 It's so beautiful.
11:05 Wherever the world goes, there are Filipinos.
11:09 On our bus trip, we can already see the magnificent views.
11:15 Population, 50,000.
11:17 Did you know that there are more than 70,000 seals here?
11:22 That's why Faroe is the Norse word for Norway, "Sheep Islands".
11:27 The flag is so beautiful.
11:30 There's a seal.
11:32 There's a seal.
11:34 There's a seal.
11:36 Here in Faroe Islands, there are 77 white seals.
11:39 There are 77 white seals.
11:42 77 white seals.
11:45 There's also a horse.
11:47 It's so beautiful, it's like a postcard.
11:49 And what's even more fun is that our fellow Filipinos are suddenly coming here.
11:57 It's like they're just in the Philippines.
12:00 How did you know that we're here?
12:02 My niece and I were just about to get a picture with Jessica in the case.
12:08 Where?
12:09 Where?
12:10 Here, behind your house.
12:12 So we ran and we colored our hair.
12:15 Let me see.
12:16 Faroe Islands is part of Denmark, even though they are also considered an autonomous country.
12:27 They have their own culture and traditions that they want to preserve.
12:32 But then, hundreds of Filipinos have already invaded them.
12:38 At present, there are almost 200 Filipinos who are married here by Faroese.
12:45 How is she as a wife?
12:47 She's very good.
12:48 I'm Darlene Joy Lapore Jacobson.
12:50 I'm from Bacolod in the Philippines.
12:52 I'm happy here.
12:54 I'm very spoiled.
12:57 I always wake up with breakfast in bed.
13:00 So I think Faroese husbands are really, really good.
13:03 We're giving her always...
13:04 She's a Palanggago.
13:05 She's a Palanggo. What did you say?
13:07 Palanggago.
13:08 Oh, how sweet.
13:11 How is she as a wife?
13:12 More than I expected.
13:14 Very devoted wife.
13:16 Like you would expect from a Filipino.
13:18 Thank you.
13:20 You have long hair.
13:22 Your baby is cute.
13:24 Hello again.
13:26 You're the smiling baby.
13:27 One country in two continents, Asia and Europe, 28, 29, Turkey.
13:38 What a huge country this is.
13:43 Why do their houses look like a big pile of rice?
13:51 Out of this world.
13:53 It's like you're in a movie.
13:56 Or a bangungod.
13:58 But very Instagramable.
14:02 Where are we?
14:03 This is not the location of a sci-fi movie.
14:06 But in a country where the views are different.
14:12 Let's start the countdown.
14:14 28, 29, Turkey.
14:18 Rock formations built by the volcanoes.
14:22 They've been here for a million years.
14:24 They were first made by the Tagaritos by the cave dwellers.
14:30 Welcome to Cappadocia.
14:35 All over Cappadocia, we can see the rock formations.
14:39 They made these houses.
14:41 They made holes to make them houses.
14:44 Another purpose of their cave dwelling is that it can be a piscina, restaurant, or hotel.
14:50 Their police station is also a cave.
14:53 Come, let's go inside a house.
14:55 Hello.
15:02 Hello, welcome.
15:03 My name is Jessica. I'm from the Philippines.
15:05 Nice to meet you.
15:07 How do I call you?
15:09 What's your name?
15:10 My name is Emine.
15:11 Emine.
15:12 Emine has been living in a cave house for 25 years.
15:17 It's hot.
15:21 Even in winter, the inside of the cave is hot.
15:25 It's modern.
15:27 There's a heater with stove.
15:29 There's a TV.
15:30 It's beautiful because it's very traditional.
15:32 Their table runners and chairs are beautiful.
15:36 And carpeted.
15:38 Very beautiful.
15:41 What is it like living in a cave?
15:43 It's beautiful.
15:44 She says it's very nice.
15:46 There's no problem with electricity or water.
15:49 Everything is available in the cave dwellings.
15:51 They also have Wi-Fi.
15:53 But sometimes, the electricity is low.
15:56 So you have to go outside.
15:58 How many people live here?
15:59 One or two?
16:01 The total capacity of this place is about 16 people in the family.
16:05 Are you not afraid of earthquakes?
16:07 The place, the region is quite safe.
16:09 The volcanic mountains are not active anymore.
16:12 This is the typical oven here.
16:14 Tandoori oven.
16:15 So, under the ground.
16:17 In front of this, the smoke comes out.
16:20 The chimney.
16:21 See?
16:22 It has a garden area.
16:25 And terrace where the view is breathtaking.
16:29 The view is beautiful.
16:31 Hello from Cappadocia here in Turkey.
16:35 Beautiful house, Emine.
16:36 Can I buy your house?
16:39 I'm not going to give you.
16:40 The rock formations of Cappadocia were declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
16:48 It's a shame if they call this place in English, Fairy Chimney.
16:54 Because those rock formations look like chimneys.
16:58 Someone is pre-napping.
17:01 The backdrop is beautiful.
17:03 Hello.
17:04 My name is Jessica.
17:06 My name is Arcan.
17:07 Arcan and Sheyma.
17:09 You're very beautiful.
17:11 Thank you.
17:12 Congratulations.
17:13 I hope you have a wonderful and beautiful life together.
17:17 Camels smell good.
17:21 There.
17:23 They want to ride me.
17:25 They smell good.
17:26 [music]
17:28 [music]
17:38 Do you want ice cream?
17:40 Wait.
17:43 Because this is with something.
17:47 A walker.
17:48 Their ice cream is too thick.
17:55 Okay.
17:56 This really?
17:57 I'm fooling you.
18:04 This is it.
18:06 Extra scoop.
18:07 There's a little supply.
18:15 It's a pity that we paid for it.
18:22 It fell.
18:24 But it's delicious.
18:26 It's very good.
18:27 Do it again.
18:29 One scoop.
18:32 The beauty of Cappadocia,
18:37 especially the hot air balloon ride every week.
18:43 Not less than 500 hot air balloons fly here.
18:48 This is where the hot air balloons in Clark in Pampanga fly.
18:55 Two hours flight from Cappadocia,
19:00 the town of Pamukkale in the north part of Turkey will arrive.
19:05 The name is also made by their hot air balloons.
19:11 So now we will try to ride a hot air balloon.
19:14 This is my first time.
19:16 I have a fear of heights but I ride helicopters.
19:21 I think I should be okay.
19:23 This is a rail.
19:25 Let's pray.
19:30 It's up to the Lord and Mama Mary.
19:34 We pray.
19:35 Inshallah.
19:36 The Lord be with us.
19:38 Ready for takeoff.
19:44 Bye Philippines!
19:46 Bye!
19:47 There, we can see the beauty of Pamukkale.
19:54 You will be singing here in the beauty.
19:59 I have a fear of heights,
20:02 I flew in the sky,
20:04 I didn't see it,
20:06 it exploded.
20:08 I hope it doesn't.
20:09 It exploded.
20:10 I hope it doesn't.
20:12 Long live!
20:16 The hot air balloon is propelled by propane gas.
20:20 The cost is just expensive,
20:22 220 dollars or more than 10,000 pesos per person.
20:27 Here in Pamukkale, Turkey,
20:30 EKMJS Mayan!
20:33 Thank you so much, Kapuso!
