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!
