Yasmien then recalled a funny incident involving her friend, Dianne, during their first night in Zurich.

According to the actress, her friend ordered food through Uber Eats because they were already tired from traveling and no longer wanted to go out.

"Funny story: yung friend ko na si Dianne, nag-order ng Uber Eats noong first night namin sa Zurich kasi pagod na sila lumabas kasi from train station pa galing. Pagtingin niya sa bill, umabot ng ₱22,000 kapag kinonvert mo sa pesos," she shared.

The personality said the experience highlighted just how expensive food and daily expenses can be in Switzerland.

Unlike her friend, Yasmien revealed that she prepared for the trip ahead of time. She said she researched the country's cost of living before leaving for Europe.

"Ako naman, nag-research talaga bago pumunta sa Switzerland. Alam kong mahal ang cost of living doon, kaya namalengke talaga ako at nagluto," she explained.
