Hey Singles,
What kinds of videos/information do you like to surf for on the internet? One of the things I've come to appreciate most is that sites like YouTube especially are my window to places I will most likely never be able to see in person.
While I "never like to say never", my personal bucket lists are way too long and too expensive to ever accomplish in this life, but thanks to the miracle of such sites, in a way, I get to see and experience them anyway!
What are the last 5 things you've looked up on a video channel or in general, and why? What did you enjoy about them? What did you learn? Feel free to post links and clips as well.
I love sharing these kinds of discussions because it helps us all get to know each other better.
My last 5 videos have been:
1. A walk-through tour of the Disney Sea amusement park in Tokyo. It's forr the part of me that will forever be 5 years old and LOVES theme parks. Even from childhood I've always loved replications of the architecture, styles, and ways of life from different time periods and places in the world or even universe, and no one does it like Disney (or Universal Studios.) (If any of you have suggestions for other favorite theme parks, please feel free to mention them!)
2. I'm going to cheat here and list three different places: 1. The Winchester Mystery House in California that features things like stairways and doors leading to nowhere. I love looking at houses and while this one has a spooky history, I would still love to see it in person... but definitely wouldn't stay the night, even if it were an option. 2. Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, because castles are another personal obsession of mine. Like the Winchester House, it also has a bit of a mysterious history (anyone sensing a trend here?)but it looks utterly amazing. And finally, 3. Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West home and architectural school in Arizona. Touring houses and residences is one of my favorite things to do when given the chance.
3. Instructional videos on the fastest ways to peel garlic, as it happens to be a culinary chore that I dread. (My favorite so far: throw cloves into a stainless steel bowl, turn another one upside down on top of the first bowl, shake until your insides feel it and voila!!! Automatic ab workout AND peeled garlic in 30 seconds!)
4. Demonstration of a friendship bracelet with an adorable bat pattern for Halloween. Flat, written instrucions mean nothing to me--I have to see them being worked in action. My first attempt was a bit clumsy, took over an hour to knot just one bat (it takes about 5 to make a full bracelet), and probably resembled a pot holder more than something wearable. But with some practice... I can now complete the pattern for each bat in about 30 minutes.
5. Always a prisoner to the child inside, my last viewing was of Animal (the Muppet) and his best pal, Bunny. After all, who doesn't love Animal? ("Wo-man! Wo-man!")
How about the rest of you?
Happy sharing.
