I have been traveling via Netflix. A series called Borgen is just wonderful. Takes place in Denmark via their parliamentary elections and a woman who becomes the Prime Minister. It’s 3 seasons and extremely well done – English Subtitles.
I also enjoy some of the Korean “soap operas” which enables me to see the variety of living situations as well as their eating styles. Some of them take place in hospitals, others in law offices, some in universities. Some are silly but I do enjoy watching and reading anything about Asian culture.
Just last week I saw a film called “Orchestra of Exiles” via Amazon Prime which starts with the Jewish love of music in Europe, especially the violin and goes through WWII and how one musician helped Jews to migrate to Palestine and started the beginning of an orchestra, first conducted by Toscanini and evolved to be the Israeli Symphony Orchestra.
Even without the current pandemic, my actual traveling days are over. My last visit was in 2016 with my family to visit Cuba, the land of my birth. The timing was perfect as Obama had made it possible for people to visit.
So I now travel the fastest way possible – through the internet!
I am so glad that I did when I could!
Yes, we all live in virtual worlds today.
Thank you for your interesting remarks.
Thank you for sharing, Elena. I am all things English, Irish and Aussie at the moment. I also enjoy the accents, the housing, the customs and the history picked up through the stories.
Loved Borgen, Elena. Made us think a parliamentary government might be just the thing for now. Will definitely try your other suggestions when I break from my obsession with solving murders vicariously.
